China Drought

[wade]

How can China irrigate its wheat when they are having their worst drought in 50 years? I thought I read that drinking water was in short supply. Also, how can/do they store that much wheat without spoilage/rodent loss being a problem?

It is China's winter similar to the USA Northern growing regions. Has the USA ever lost a wheat crop in the winter?
Northern China drought seems to be an ongoing problem. When I ask the wife(Chinese) about northern china drought she just says they always have drought. They do cloud seeding every year to make it rain when they need it in and have irrigation development projects on the books for the future.
