Taiwan faces worst drought in decades, considers nationwide water
rationing (Associated Press) Taiwanese authorities are considering
nationwide water rationing because of the island's worst drought in two
decades, officials said Wednesday.

Since January, the island's capital of Taipei has received just 280
millimeters (11 inches) of rainfall, about 46 percent of the annual
average of the past 30 years, according to the Central Weather Bureau.
Rainfall in Kaohsiung, the island's second largest city, totaled 42
millimeters (1.7 inches) or 27 percent of the 30-year average, the
bureau said.
