Why is China a water poor country?

The reasons that do not belong to the cause of our country being a water-poor country mainly include:

1.Geographical factors: China has a long coastline, but most of the freshwater resources are concentrated in the southwest, north and northeast, resulting in uneven distribution of water resources.

2.Population growth: As the population grows, so does the demand for water resources, the lack of effective management and protection, and rapid economic development exacerbate water scarcity.

3.Waste of water resources: In some places, there is over-exploitation and waste of water resources, such as illegal water intake and polluted water sources, which has aggravated the problem of water shortage. Prepare branches.

In short, the reasons why China is a water-poor country are complex, and it is necessary to continuously explore and take effective measures to protect and manage water resources and realize the sustainable benefits of water resources

The phrase that the world's 13 water-poor countries can only be created in China.

Some say it's from the United Nations, some say it's from World Water Day.

Didn't indicate which year, which one was reported? For more than 20 years, rumor-mongers have changed and become so-called "public knowledge."

Finish. Up to **, experts and scholars, down to individuals suffer from it.

China is not one of the world's 13 water-poor countries. The roots are pure and based on Sweden.

Hydrologist Falkenmark's Quantitative Indicator System for Water-Poor Countries: Divided into Water ResourcesCountries in scarcity, water-poor countries, and absolute water-poor countries。The so-called 13 water-poor countries of the world include absolute water-poor countries.

Moreover, rumor-mongers say that there are 7 organizations in the world and more than 100 countries and regions in the world.

It is not said whether China is the whole country or the Ningxia region of China. This so-called list would be possible if, in addition to a few dozen absolutely water-poor countries, only the most water-scarce regions in China were included. In the same way, China is one of the 13 poor countries in the world, can you believe this?

If you don't believe it, but with the addition of rules and regulations, it's really possible. If it is the United Nations 7 world organizations, which investigated the economic situation of 145 countries and regions in the world (dozens of poor counties in China, do you say that this can be bent up? The minister added that according to the per capita income of Chinese, it is obviously not a rich country.

The following rumors began to play a big problem, anyway, the Chinese is broad and profound, and it cannot be plagiarized, but it can be changed, and the shortage is changed to poverty.

The reason why China is a water-poor country is that the total amount of water resources in China is relatively high。In China, the overall amount of water resources is on the low side. Globally, we are mildly water-scarce countries.

China feeds 21 per cent of the world's population with 7 per cent of the world's water resources. Experts estimate that the peak of water scarcity in China will occur in 2030, because by then the population will reach 1.6 billion, the per capita water resources will be 1,760 cubic meters, and China will enter the ranks of countries with moderate water scarcity as determined by relevant United Nations organizations.

Conserve water

1. Water saving method for going to the toilet: use a water-saving toilet or a device to control the flow of water. After using the toilet, flush the toilet bowl in the half-flush mode to save empty water.

2. Close the faucet tightly: Close the faucet tightly, and carefully check whether the faucet is closed and whether there is any leakage before going out and before going to bed.

3. Replace the water flow with a basin: Xu Zhi-type many people will open the faucet when washing their faces, and the water will splash everywhere, so they only need to fill the required amount of water or control the faucet switch to a small amount of water.

4. Control the water output: Install water-saving gaskets or pressure compensation devices on the faucets in the kitchen or bathroom, these small devices can mix a little air into the water flow, so as to make the water output smaller and slow down the water output.

5. Reuse of washing water: washing dishes and chopsticks with rice washing water can reduce the pollution and water consumption of dish soap. Collect the water from the washing machine to flush the toilet. Save the water you use for washing vegetables, such as watering flowers, washing cars, and washing toilets.

Yes, China is a water-poor country. And it's not just China. Many countries and regions around the world are water-poor. Less than 1% of the planet's water resources are now drinkable.

Because China has become one of the "world's water-poor countries", with one-third of its water sources polluted, it is urgent to protect water resources.

Our country is a country with severe drought and water shortages. China's total freshwater resources are 2.8 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 6% of the world's water resources, second only to Brazil, Russia and Canada, ranking fourth in the world. However, China's per capita water resources are only 2,300 cubic meters, which is only 1 4 of the world average, and it is one of the poorest countries in the world in terms of per capita water resources.

However, China is the largest water consumer in the world. In 2002 alone, the country's freshwater withdrawals reached 549.7 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 13% of the world's annual withdrawals, which was about twice the 470 billion cubic meters of freshwater in the United States in 1995.

Since the 70s of the 20th century, China has been suffering from a water shortage, which is not alarmist, but an objective reality. Since the 80s, China's water shortage has gradually spread from local to the whole country, and the situation has become more and more serious, affecting agriculture and the national economy.

It has already had serious implications.

China's total water resources are 100 million cubic meters, ranking sixth among all countries in the world, but China's population accounts for more than one-fifth of the world's total population. At present, the per capita water resources are only 2,200 cubic meters, less than a quarter of the world's per capita number, ranking after 100, and the distribution of water resources in China in time and space is still extremely uneven, more in the south and less in the north.

The per capita water resources of the Haihe River basin account for only a few hundred cubic meters, far below the average of the world's water-poor countries. In 2030, when China's population increases to a peak of 1.6 billion, the per capita water resources will drop to 1,760 cubic meters, according to the internationally recognized standard, 1,760 cubic meters per capita is a water-stressed country, so China is listed as one of the thirteen water-poor countries in the world.
