China faces severe water shortages caused by overuse and pollution, with a yearly supply shortfall of 40 billion cubic meters. Beijing suffers acute shortages as it receives little rainfall and its water supply from reservoirs is insufficient to meet demand. When water runs dry, public health and economic problems can arise. To address this, China is implementing solutions like increasing and rationing supply, recycling water, conservation technologies, pricing reforms, and inter-basin transfer projects.
