China faces a serious water catastrophe that will cause GLOBAL shortages of food, industrial materials and consumer goods

China is facing a water crisis

  • Multi-year drought conditions in much of China have reportedly forced the country to the brink of collapse.
  • China is a major producer of food, energy, and other needed goods and materials, and is crucial to the country's rapid development
  • Drought has pushed northern China's water system beyond a sustainable level

Water Supplies in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and North China Plain 50% or more below UN's Definition of Acute Water Scarcity

  • Water availability in China has dropped to 50% below what the United Nations considers to be a situation of acute water scarcity
  • Nearly 20% of China's surface water is contaminated and 7% is unfit for human consumption
  • China's groundwater is also contaminated and unfit for use

China has a water resource overuse problem

  • A big part of that contamination comes from China's heavy industries, which pollute dangerous chemicals straight into the ground or into existing water supplies.
  • Chemical runoff from industrial agriculture leaves the ground and environment polluted for many years as it seeps into groundwater supplies.
