China's largest freshwater lake records lowest water level

STORY: China's largest freshwater lake records lowest water level DATELINE: Sept. 23, 2022 LENGTH: 00:01:10 LOCATION: NANCHANG, China CATEGORY: SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of Poyang Lake STORYLINE: The water level at Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake in the eastern province of Jiangxi, dropped to its lowest on Friday morning since record-keeping began in 1951, said local authorities.

Poyang Lake entered dry season this year on Aug. 6, 92 days earlier than the average since 1951. The center issued a red alert for low water on Friday for the first time since t
