China's environment is in trouble, but solutions often seem as
harsh as the problems. A third of the world uses water from China's
rivers, but rapid industrialization and climate change have led to
bad air, polluted rivers and dire water shortages. One "solution"
that has received considerable media attention in the West is the
channeling of water in the biggest hydraulic project in world
history. While it has benefited nearly half-a-million people,
relocation from dam areas is causing mammoth social upheaval.
