The 2010 China floods began in early May 2010.〔.〕 392 people had died, and a further 232 people had been reported missing as of June 30, 2010, including 57 people in a landslide in Guizhou. 53 of the deaths occurred from the flooding and landslides between May 31 and June 3, and 266 deaths occurred between June 13 and June 29. 424 people were killed by the end of June,〔 including 42 from the Guizhou landslide; 277 more were killed and 147 left missing in the first two weeks of July, bringing the death toll as of August 5 to 1,072.〔〔 A landslide in early August in Gansu killed at least 1,471 people and left 294 missing. In total, the flooding and landslides killed at least 3,185 people in China by August 31.〔 More than people〔〔 in 28 provinces, municipalities and regions,〔〔〔 especially the southern and central provinces and regions of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing Municipality, Gansu, Sichuan and Guizhou, and the northeastern province of Jilin have been affected, while at least people have been evacuated because of the risk of flooding and landslides in the latter half of June.〔〔.〕〔.〕〔.〕 By early August, over people had been evacuated,〔〔 and that number rose to 15.2 million by August 31.〔 Millions lack drinking water. A total of 1.36 million houses have been destroyed〔〔 and more than of crops had been inundated,〔 while of farmland had been completely destroyed by the end of June. Dozens of rivers remain in flood, including the Pearl River in Guangdong province,〔 which was impacted by severe drought during the spring as its outflow was severely reduced. The total damages from the floods were roughly 83.8 billion yuan as of June 27, 2010,〔 and over yuan ( USD) by August 8.〔〔 By late August, hectares〔 of farmland have been affected by the flooding, while hectares have been completely destroyed.〔〔 In late May 2010, heavy rainfall caused a train derailment in Jiangxi, killing at least 19 people, and the closure of the Shanghai-Kunming railway line for 24 hours due to a landslide. Many major rivers in China, including the Yangtze, Yellow and Songhua Rivers have been flooded to danger levels. The Chinese Government has allocated over yuan for rescue and relief work.〔 The Jialing River, Han River and Huai River have also surged higher than warning levels.〔 ==Effects== The grim situation of the 2010 South China floods has exceeded the levels of the 1998 Yangtze River floods.〔(2010 China floods ) June 24, 2010. Retrieved June 24, 2010.〕 The flooding has attracted attention from the state leaders of the Chinese Government and the public, who have brought aid to the victims of the flooding. The death toll from the floods continue to rise, but floodwaters began to recede in some areas by the end of June. Throughout the East Asian Monsoon season, the worst of the flooding shifted from Southwestern China to Central China by June and July and moved to Northern and Northeastern China by late July and August, leaving the southern provinces in a heat wave while the Northeastern and Northwestern provinces were continuously lashed by flooding rains. Unusual climate patterns were linked to the persistent flooding, including an El Niño "Modoki", jet stream patterns (also possibly linked to low solar activity), deforestation worsening the landslides and global warming. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2010 China floods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
