North China Plain

22 The North China Plain (NCP) is currently standing between the prosperous 23 economic growth and the severe water crisis. Its important economic role in the nation 24 can be easily seen through statistics: In 2013, its GDP amounted to 15 trillion Yuan (1 25 Yuan 0.16 USD), about 26% of the whole nation. Its industrial value-added 26 accounted for 42% of the region’s GDP, reflecting its high level of industrialization 27 (NBSC, 2014). However, its water resources

This caused a way of life that involved harnessing this water, like farming and fishing for food. Nomadically herding animals was the only way to get food in other areas. People require water to live, so the geography of the Northwestern Deserts forced the inhabitants to crowd around oasis' to get

concentrations have been identified as one of the main culprits of groundwater pollution. Agriculture is a primary anthropogenic source involved in the spreading and distribution of nitrates in rural areas. China is considered one of the largest in terms of agricultural production. As the population of China increased over time, the recycling of plant nutrients could no longer renew the loss of nutrients from harvesting.

Although China has a complex history, it was one of the most economically stable countries in the world. Chinese’s current complex form of government started with different principles for each city-state and was later unified by dynasties. However, even before the establishment of modern-day China, its success can be contributed to its geographic features, earliest historical record in the Oracle bones, as well as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
