China is one of the largest countries in the world, with a population of over 1.4 Billion people. While China has a thriving economy, the country faces severe water scarcity that it worsening each year. The Chinese Government's efforts to put an end to the water crisis have not gone to plan, and have had devastating effects on the environment. Some of the largest projects include The Three Gorges Dam which opened in 2006.
The Chinese Government has invested over $60 Billion US Dollars into a project called the South North Water Transfer Project. The development has a goal of diverting water from the regions with large amounts of water in Southern China, to the drought plagued Northern Rivers. Although the project seems promising in Ending China's Water Crisis, its completion date of 2050 shows that it will not have immediate benefits to the water crisis.

Im scared for our future. because insufficient planning for our future can create huge problems. Depletion of water and food are a far more dangerous thing then climate change.
The faster they run out the better for the westβ¦
Not only China is running out of water, central Asia, Western Europe, Western US, most of Africa and other areas around the world are having severe water shortages with no real solution in sight
They are solving the water problem with depopulation.
The problem is that the CCP says they are gonna do something but does the exact oppisite to what they said. This has been seen with how they are going to help with climate change but at the same time opens
Is it written for pupils? There are obvious mistakes everywhere.
TOO MANY PEOPLE !!
In Philippines we depend on rain for fresh water.
Maybe us humans should consider reducing our numbers.
I am most certain that China will be able to get this problem corrected sooner than later. The have shown their incredible ability and technology to overcome their water problem.
lol in Nigeria our government doesn't even know where we citizen are getting water, we dig wells mostly and government is like if you like drink or not, thats on you
Man i tought this was real life lore lmao, good luck man this content is lit
As a Thai I hate the south north water project it's basically reallocating the water flows from the himilaya's to china unto itself without any consensus or cooperation to china's southern neighbors further exasperating droughts in countries from Pakistan to Vietnam
Love your content glad to see you have a great sponsor!
The water supply will become increasingly volatile with extreme weather patterns. Its arable land is very vulnerable to flooding, as too are inland cities built next to rivers.
One solution is to leach water back into the aquifer. All of these big cities cover their dirt with material like concrete that whisks the water away to some river that carries it even further away. This is one thing causing changes in local climate.
Here in Monterrey, MΓ©xico we have a water scarcity problem and seeing that China have the biggest dam in the world i'm gonna say what people say in the city i live in and it is that How useful is a new dam if there's no water to fill it? (context: the state goverment is building the "Presa Libertad" and people figure this questioning how a dam would help us)
New to the channel and have dropped a sub, great topics but would recommend including your sources even as a footnote. Itβll help substantiate the content. Keep it up!
Another factor is the reduction of glacier water output. With the reduction of water from these glaciers impending the plan to divert water is a mood point. Of course Chinaβs population will significantly shrink in the 28 years it will take to divert and in the long run less people will require less water. This is to discount any other mitigating circumstances, such as famine or another waive of viruses.
