Flood Devastates Hwai River Basin In Anhwei China
One million people face starvation and hundreds of thousands homeless as floods along the Hwai river devastate Anhwei. President Li Yuan-hung donates 100000 silver. American Red Cross urged to provide relief. Reclamation plans, including draining Huntze Lake and diverting water to the Grand canal, were studied since 1914 but lack funding. A 30 million dollar project could take six years, with renewal of the canal expected to shorten flood durations. Refugees flee as crops fail and food runs scarce.
