Water-supply solutions in china
Introduction
The objective of this report provide three approaches which could be implemented to mitigate the water crisis in developing country, and also the report takes China as an example. The first part of this report gives a brief introduction and background of the water consumption trend and the implication in this report. Secondly, three options are demonstrated in the following part, which are the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, monitoring system and individual behavior respectively. Then, the report evaluates these methods for both strengths and weakness effects in certain perspectives including cost, technology and interaction aspects. Finally, this report concludes these treatments and proposes a relatively appropriate suggestion.
Background
The water resource is critical for both human and society development, the consumption of water increased dramatically nowadays. It is widely acknowledged that water plays an important role in urbanization and industrialization. As Ganoulis (1994:3) puts it “water is essential to all kinds of life, it is also used in agriculture and industrial processes.” Such demands of water lead to a severe problem, water scarcity. It becomes a global challenge. Notably, this issue poses great problems especially in developing countries and also triggers other related risks, such as poor sanitation, increasing diseases and so forth. Surprisingly, in past two decades, the conditions of most countries improved dramatically due to the economic growth.
This essay will mainly focus on a developing country named China which alleviates the water crises significantly. First of all, this essay will describe three options that address the water scarcity, including the one which have already been taken from the government, and two alternatives. Secondly, it will pose the comparisons of these three approaches that will illustrate below. Then the conclusion and recommendations will be given at the end of this report. Through
