The water area of the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province has exceeded 2,000 square kilometers for the first time this year.

Due to the combined effects of frequent rainfall and increased water from the upper reaches, the water level of China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, has been continuously rising recently. Today, the area of water from Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River has exceeded 2000 square kilometers. At 16:00 on April 8th, the water level at the Xingzi hydrological station, a landmark station in Poyang Lake, was 13.54 meters, an increase of 0.07 meters from the same time yesterday, with a water area of 2030 square kilometers in the lake area. With the rise of the water level in Poyang Lake, the area of water surface in the lake has further expanded, benefiting the production and life of the people in the surrounding areas, agricultural irrigation, fish breeding in the lake area, and the passage of passing ships.
