Water too dirty for irrigation
WATER from a reservoir
that serves as Beijing's fourth-biggest source of drinking water
is unfit even for irrigation.
A report by the Beijing
Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau said that water in the
Guanting reservoir fell short of standards for level five on the
country's scale of water quality.
Water at levels one
to three is considered potable, while that at level five is fit
only for irrigation, the report said. It added that around half
of the lakes and ponds in the city's scenic spots were so polluted
that they could not be used for irrigation.
China faces a serious
water pollution problem that is compounding water shortages in
many cities.

America Is At The Dawn
Of An Uphill Battle Against Water Shortages Joining A Number Of
Other Countries—Including Our Neighbors To The South
Where Does America
Stand In Terms Of Water Supply And Shortages?
For a country that just broke the 300 million population mark
water shortages will become common in communities across the United
States. In the coming years nearly every state should expect to
be grappling with water issues. Many feel it's just a matter of
time depending on where you have droughts and expected growth.
However, when viewing the effects of water crisis globally we
can’t help but feel a sense of impending doom for America.
After all, we are a country whose population has nearly doubled
since 1950, and already use over 400 BILLION gallons of water
a day for agricultural, industrial, and private uses.
