China Water Crisis

A while back, I mentioned a new series on The New York Times' website called Choking on Growth, about pollution in China "reaching deadly extremes." Now Part II of that series has been released on nytimes.com.

It's really fascinating to take a look at the video that accompanies the article, and also the interactive graphic. For instance, did you know that there are 489 million people living in water-scarce areas in China? (The next-closest country to that is India, where 221 million people live in areas with insufficient water.) Worse, pollution has rendered much of the water that is available in China unusable.

Anyway, be sure to check out Choking on Growth Part II to find out what China is doing about the water problem.
