Melting snow leads to rising water levels in Inner Mongolia (1/6)

A woman rests at her home in Hulunbuir, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, May 17, 2013. A flood caused by melting snow led to rising water levels, which went above the warning line of a local reservoir. On May 6, 2013, the reservoir began to release water into downstream Yimin River, which overflowed to nearby towns and villages. The continuous rainy weather since Thursday has caused adverse impact to disaster alleviation. (Xinhua/Zhang Ling)
