China's
Water Crisis | China Uncensored
Lately
there's been a lot of talk about Chinese air pollution; smog so
thick, you can barely see the streets of Beijing. But what you might
not know is that China is facing a major water crisis. Rivers are
drying up and there's not enough water to go around. And what little
water there is has been so polluted by chemical and industrial run
off, it's undrinkable. And if the Three Gorges Dam didn't cause
enough trouble, the next great public work sure will. It's called The
South-North Diversion Project, and will link up the Yellow River with
the Yangtze River, hopefully funneling water from the south to the
water starved North. All it takes is drilling through the Himalayas.
