Due to poor planning and bad management, China is currently facing a crisis with the cleanliness of their water sources. According to China Daily, numerous rivers throughout the vast country are deeply polluted and, therefore, unsafe for citizens to drink. For instance, the Yellow River has frequently run dry before reaching the sea because of extensive diversion of water, mostly for agriculture. The waters are said to be infected with consumer waste and chemicals. China has reasonably good legislation on environmental protection but it is seldom enforced. Hopefully, the government will take this matter very seriously and do their best to fix this issue.
