  3. The per capita availability of water resources in China is 2,300 cubic meters, or one- fourth of the world average. It is listed as one of the world's most water-scarce nations.

  1. The project is designed to divert at least 50 billion cubic metres of water from the Yangtze River into North China through its middle, east and west routes.
  2. On the west line, which experts only conducted an on-the-spot survey and did not make feasibility studies, the Yangtze and Yellow river area is separated by Mount Bayankala and the water must be lifted through a huge tunnel across the mountain to provide water to Northwest China's semi-arid areas.
  3. Water can easily flow to Tianjin along the east line after an estimated 18 billion cubic metres of water were lifted gradually via the Grand Canal from the Yangtze to the Huaihe and Yellow rivers. But water pollution remains a key threat in the area.

  2. In most years the Yellow River dries up 800 kilometers from the sea.
  3. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing is how few people in China are aware of this crisis. No angry environmental groups spring up as they did in Eastern Europe or the former Soviet Union, decrying the disappearance or pollution of vital water resources. Few in China dare to admit what has gone wrong or openly condemn the Communist Party for creating this terrible legacy.

  2. China has about as much water as Canada but 40 times more people, and demand for water is soaring as cities grow, industry expands and living standards rise. Reckless economic development, low water prices and poor planning have exacerbated the problem.
  3. But for the fifth summer in a row, these once-majestic wetlands 70 miles south of Beijing are drier than they are wet.
  4. Water levels are nearly seven feet below normal, rendering many of the docks on the scattered islands useless. Wooden boats sit stranded in stinking ditches that once were sparkling waterways.

37 010815 htm WashPost Pollution Fudging China
  1. Research by a Japanese scientist, funded by the World Bank, raises questions about Chinese statistics that show a huge reduction in production of coal, a fuel whose consumption contributes heavily to pollution here. And at a recent conference in Beijing, a Chinese scientist reported that China will revise upward its estimates for coal consumption for 1999, wiping out half the previously reported reductions.
  2. Other research points to a serious underreporting of China's consumption of oil, another major pollutant.
  3. The projected rise in pollution was thrown into doubt when researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., reported in April that, since 1996, China's energy output had fallen 17 percent and its carbon dioxide emissions had fallen 14 percent, even though China's economy grew by 36 percent over the same period. Also in April, the European Union office in Beijing estimated China had increased energy efficiency by 50 percent and reduced coal use by 30 percent over the past five years
  4. The reports, which emerged soon after the Bush administration announced it was withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, drew wide notice. They bolstered Beijing's arguments that if a relatively poor country like China could achieve major reductions in its carbon dioxide emissions, then richer countries should be able to follow suit
  5. But a report issued by the U.S. Embassy in Beijing this month called the statistical claims "greatly exaggerated," saying they fell "outside the realm of experience of any other country in modern times." The report concluded that China's greenhouse gas emissions "have dropped little, if at all."
