A fisherman rows his boat along the Songhua River at sunrise in the northern Chinese city of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province April 8, 2008. Drought parching parts of northern China will continue this month and water should be set aside for drinking and farming, China's weather administration said last week. Some 6 million hectares (14.8 million acres) of arable land in the northern province could face severe drought during the spring ploughing season, Xinhua quoted local agricultural authorities as saying.
