- Summary:
- EPISODE 12: Two of the major rivers of China Huanghe River and Changjiang River, originate from Qinghai province. There is a huge project in China to transfer water from one river to another in order to help northern cities, such as Tianjin and Xi'an, that have severe water shortages. Some experts say that these diversions are causing severe damage to the ecological system. Certainly water diversion projects have caused damage in Australia where they have had such projects for decades. How can China keep the balance between industrial and agricultural needs and the need to protect the ecological environment? Does China's new water project really benefit people without sacrificing the ecological system? Only time can tell.
