China Solves Problem of Drinking Water for Rural People

News from the Ministry of Water Resources shows that after many years of painstaking efforts, China has solved the problem of ensuring potable water for 216 million rural people and has improved the water condition for the daily life and production of nearly 150 million people in towns and townships and for numerous enterprises and government institutions.

The problem of potable water in the countryside is one of the most serious problems left over from history. In 1993, solution of this problem was listed as one of the important contents in the poverty-relief program by the Chinese government and departments of water resources at all levels adopted various measures to retain the ground water, exploit the underground water, improve the quality of water and build a large batch of drinking-water projects.

Statistics show that by the end of 1999, China's rural areas had invested over 30 billion yuan to build more than 3 million different types of potable-water projects, with a daily water-supply capacity of 20 million tons, thus ensuring drinking water for 216 million people, 90 percent of all those having difficulties in getting potable water at the end of 1992.
