Early this year, the climate was irregular in Chongqing, which was suffered from various natural disasters, including the drought and flood in this summer. About 81 people were killed by the natural disasters. Big economic losses occurred. During 45 days since June 2000, the consecutive six heavy rainstorms hit 781 towns and streets, and destroyed 100,000 houses.

It is likely that flood may occur in Chongqing again.
