China is struggling to overcome what a minister called the world’s worst water crisis caused by widespread drought, pollution, rapid economic growth and waste, the China Daily has said.
Per capita water availability in China was about a quarter of the world average and expected to fall further, the report said.
“(China) is facing a water crisis more severe and urgent than any other country in the world,” Qiu Baoxing, vice minister of construction, was quoted as saying.
