Is China A Water Solution?

Many people know that water is essential for human-being and it is not only valuable for health and life, but water is also important for industry and agriculture. Furthermore, use of water has a spiritual, cultural and recreational dimension. However, water resources are not infinite. Wide and inefficient use of water resources can lead to irreversible consequences, such as water shortage. This essay will firstly discuss the problem of water shortage on examples of developed and developing countries

Water shortage is a growing problem for most countries in the world. For China, which has 20% of world’s population and only 7% of available water resources, this problem may become catastrophic (Hofstedt 2010, 72). Therefore some actions and measures should be performed to avoid or at least to weaken future water crisis in China. In this work the following three solutions will be proposed and analyzed in terms of efficiency and applicability: water usage efficiency improvement; adopting the local

people do not drink water for three days will die? Nowadays, more and more countries face to the environment problems, which are food shortage, water problems, and pollution problems. Also, China has rapid economy development now, so it caused many environment problems. Especially, Chinese people are facing the water shortage problems now. China's population accounts for 20 percent of the world's population, however, China's freshwater resources account for only 7% of global water resources (Popular

problem is China. 5000 people or more die every day from drinking unclean water, and people who live in high-density air polluted areas have a greater risk of death from lung diseases and cancers (Rinkesh, 2009, line 3). Pollution is a problem that needs to be reduced, It will never be completely eliminated but we can help these rising problems by taking the proper action. In my group’s Global Project we have decided to tackle this problem through awareness. Identifying The Problem In China, there

Approximately 72% of the earth is covered in water, however, of that amount, 97% is undrinkable because of the saline content. Theoretically, the ability to make that portion drinkable would mean creating a renewable source of fresh water-- a concept that, if executed properly would mean the end of water insecurity worldwide. The first record of desalination technology being used came from the writings of Aristotle, a Greek philosopher who lived during the fourth century BC. Ancient Romans used

A major area China 's air pollution effects is the environment. With this in mind a way the pollution damages the environment is through acid rain ("Air pollution in China"). Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides go high into the atmosphere to combine with oxygen to form the heavy pollutant known as acid rain (epa.gov). Acid rain easily dissolves in water, and when mixed with other pollutants in China 's atmosphere, can contaminate the soil and water sources. One-third of China 's water is unusable in

[3] Agricultural Non-point Source Water Pollution Caused Eutrophication of Dianchi Lake in China and Possible Solutions Abstract: Eutrophication is a big problem around the world and especially in China where laws and regulations are not followed in rural areas. This is the case in Kunming, Yunnan, China at Lake Dianchi where eutrophication is the highest in the country. This case study will set up to study the effects of phosphate in the lake, the quantity of phosphate, and the possible

Overpopulation in China Taking into consideration China’s robust economic growth over the last 20–25 years, there is little reservation that China’s has had positive impacts on the economy. Because of the increase of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), China has saved over 400 million people from definite poverty between the years 1979 to 2005 (The State Environmental Protection Administration, 2007). Despite this economic growth in urbanization and industrialization, there have arisen major concerns

The Problem China is a region that has experience substantial growth over the years in areas of industry, living standards, and population. But this success has resulted in the depletion of one of the greatest natural resources water. Industrial growth means an increase demand for water used in production processes and much of the water being used is not being reclaimed. A higher living standard means a greater demand for electricity that is lowering water levels in rivers used for generation. The

Many know that China does not have the most positive background towards climate change, and being one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases, something has to be done. Furthermore, their initiative to this negative title and better their carbon footprint is questionable. With a substantial population, countless factories, and unfathomable waste disposal, it may be difficult to regulate or attempt to improve their ecological standpoint; however, little efforts have been presented.
