Talk:Water resources of China

It's unclear whether the information presented in this article covers Hong Kong and Macau, and the territories claimed but not administered by the PRC. — Instantnood 19:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Research it and fix it. HK imports a lot of water from Guangzhou and, afaik, Macao entirely. SchmuckyTheCat 19:47, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

  Macau has its own reservoirs, with their catchwaters. — Instantnood 21:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I created the article. I don't pay a lot of attention to the question you raise, but I believe we are talking here about mainland China. Probably we should have separate articles for Hong Kong, Macau and Tiawan. However as noted most water for Hong Kong and Macau must come from the mainland. Fred Bauder 21:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I would just leave the title as is, but opinions differ. Fred Bauder 21:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying Fred. Water trade is nothing uncommon. — Instantnood 21:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Expanding and improving this article

This article covers a very important topic on which there are a number of recent, high-quality publications in English. I have added links to two ot them under external links: A report by the Pacific Institute and another one by the World Bank. This is just to encourage people interested in the topic to read these publications and summarize relevant parts of them in this article.--Mschiffler (talk) 15:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Industrial water pollution in China

The following text was mistakenly placed in the Industrial waste article. It is rather vague and mostly unreferenced, but someone may be able to edit, add references and incorporate this material into this Water resources of China article. Moreau1 (talk) 04:41, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Levels of water pollution in China have increased causing diarrhea infections in infants. It has cost around $100 billion to sustain the quality of air and water in China, but if China ignores the quality of water pollution it will worsen. Issues from pollution arise from power plants and factories. This was a report from urban residents who are trying to convince the government to help. The government has tried to manage heavy industry. There are multiple different ways of managing industrial waste. Waste heat is often produced and thrown into the environment. Waste heat is produced by water evaporation by the industry. Fossil fuel can be reduced when waste heat is used by industries for their advantage. Most effort to reduce industrial waste come from lifestyle changes from humans and more enforcement to the environment.
