Choke Point: China findings presented at Congressional hearing.
China is on target to begin transferring water from the Yangtze River Basin to Hebei, Shandong, and Tianjin by 2013.
On Wednesday evening, dialogue — an award-winning television and radio program that explores the world of ideas through weekly, half-hour conversations with renowned public figures, scholars, journalists, and authors — will feature "Choke Point: The World's Looming Water Crisis."
The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently published its annual report on global energy projections. Though renewable energy sources and nuclear power, along with unconventional fossil fuels, will phase out coal production over the next two decades, it will not be at the pace necessary to offset greenhouse gas emissions
Though China suspended most of its coal-to-liquid fuels refineries in 2008 due to concerns for scarce water resources and high production costs, recent financial gains may lead it to reconsider its policy.
The energy target will be the highlight of a document to come later this year, as well as a cornerstone of China's efforts to curb soaring greenhouse gas emissions, which currently stand at a quarter of the global total. Cutting coal consumption will inevitably also cut water use, as coal is China's largest industrial user of water.
To feed water-hungry mining industries, similar plans are in the works to supply drought-ridden regions of Australia and China.
China hosts its first U.N. climate conference as the country works to wed its financial and environmental ambitions.
Chemical pollution is the latest calamity as heavy rains continue to blanket the country with floods.
While the superpower announces ambitious sustainability goals, it faces droughts and intensive energy needs.
Parts of southern China are being ravaged by a severe three-season drought. Millions of people lack adequate water supplies, and millions of acres of cropland are too dry to plant.
Study shows 2007 discharges were double previous estimates.
Farmers on the edge of poverty in China’s rural provinces face a bleak future in the wake of warmer temperatures, more frequent droughts and infrequent rainfall. The changing climate is forcing many harvesters into poverty or keeping them from climbing out.
Nearly 1.5 million people in the Hunan and Guangdong provinces have reported drinking water shortages.
GlobeScan Survey Reflects Country’s Need For Dire Action, More Information
The vast, yet inaccessible, underground waters in southwest Yunnan Province represent the front lines of China's freshwater crisis.
Dragons in the Deep
The collision of rising energy demand and declining water supplies is choking an industrialized nation fueled by growth.
Choke Point: U.S.
Climatologists say that global climate change compounds the steadily increasing desertification of Inner Mongolia.
