Summary:

EPISODE 3: How safe is China's drinking water? The third and fourth episodes wrestle with conflicting values in China today. For example, what difference does it make if one drives the biggest and most expensive car, but cannot safely drink the water running from the water faucet? In a country where there is rapid urbanization and unbalanced economic development, China now faces complex problems in trying to provide clean drinking water for all citizens. The immediate problem can be seen by looking inside the rivers of China. For example, the explosion of blue algae in the Wuxi section of Taihu is a result of the rapid development of industrialization along the banks of the River. China now faces three serious problems relating to water: water shortage, imperfect water supply facilities and capacity, and, most importantly, water pollution. Water safety is not only a great problem for China, but also many other countries in the world.
