Greater Drinking Water Problems in China
A published report today from Suzhou, China, "300 mln people drinking unsafe water" says that some 300 million people, primarly in rural areas, are drinking unsafe water, despite the government of the Peoples Republic of China dedicating a lot of money to the problem.
Wang Shucheng, minister of Water Resources blamed the poor drinking water on polluted rivers and lakes in China. "To safeguard drinking water safety is the top priority of Chinese government's efforts to protect water resources, Wang said." All I can say is their problems with drinking water sound much worse than here in the U.S.
