     One phase of Maoist land reconstruction policy for which nobody now has a good word to say is the reclamation of lakes. In Huoqiu county in western Anhui, Chengxi Lake was partly reclaimed, reducing its area by two-thirds and its capacity of 700 million cu m by nine-tenths. As a direct result, the lake could no longer accommodate the flood waters resulting from heavy rain, and flood danger in the whole area was sharply increased.
