Water - Major Issue in China


China continues to face serious issues regarding water availability.

The following article is amazing to read:

Page, Jeremy, 2010. China officials push water plan. The Wall Street Journal, Nov. 9.

China is pumping seawater a great distance to a dry inland lake in hope that increased evaporation from the lake will create rain.

The cost of pumping is $1.05 per cubic meter of water!
