Water pollution is another major environmental problem in China. The Chinese have inadequate water recycling facilities and waste water from factories often finds its way into rivers contaminating it and endangering lives animals of people who consume it. Poorly designed or lack of waste water disposal mechanisms lead to contamination of water bodies causing massive poisoning of fisheries and other living organisms. Water pollution has resulted in some 180 million Chinese people consuming contaminated water leading to frequent outbreaks of water borne diseases. Run off from farms carry with it fertilizers some of which contain cadmium which contaminates the water and leads to death of fisheries. Industrial waste often finds its way to the rivers through poor disposal methods and contaminates the rivers killing living organisms there (Economy, 2017). The industrial waste water is really a potential danger for the health of human beings and the life of water creatures. And water is all the time flowing so that the waste water will all the time find their own way to go, leading to its reaching more and more seas, rivers and pools. We can have a fair knowledge that the waste water will, to a great degree and in a large range, influence water in every possible river, lake, dam etc. so as to influence people that will consume the water nearby. China ranks among the world’s lowest per capita water average with a per capita figure of 2140 cubic meters and at number 110 among water scarce countries. This is attributable to the environmental degradation which has seen many rivers dry up (Economy, 2017). From which we can know that to save water from being polluted is really Chinese people’s top priority for the future of ourselves and generations and generations to come so that we can happily welcome the coming of tomorrow’s sun. Solutions for the Aforementioned China’s Environmental Problems Major China’s environmental problems having been elaborated on in the above, what follow next are the feasible solutions for the tackling of the aforementioned problems. Personally speaking, the top priority of the solutions for the aforementioned China’s environmental problems lies in that the Chinese authority should realize the seriousness of the problems themselves at the first place and then publish some relevant policies for the handling or remission of those problems. That is to say, the authorities should act well of their leaders’ role so as to better guide the ordinary people to deal with those environmental problems in a wise way. The second strategy includes devolution of environmental efforts to the grassroots. This is aimed at ensuring the locals who understand their region best take control of the environmental concerns. The downside with this arrangement is that well-endowed regions have better resources to spend on their environmental efforts as opposed to poorer parts. With financial scarce resources, poorer regions are unable to employ qualified personnel to address the environmental issues faced by their locality (Yang, N.D). Thus, the solutions for the aforementioned China’s environmental problems require the joint efforts of both the authority personnel and the great majority of human beings. Only by the perfect cooperation of both the leaders and the ordinary people can help bring out a satisfactory result for the dealing with those environmental problems. Conclusion To sum up, we can naturally draw a conclusion that the development and utilization of land resources should not be realized at the cost of the environment as human beings will sooner or later pay a heavy price for what they have done in the past. That is to say, the nature will take revenge on us for every victory we have achieved under the preconditions of sacrificing our environment. The importance of China in the global economic and environmental matters is higher now more than ever before and efforts should not be spared to ensure authorities there adhere to environmental protection regulations for the good of the whole world (Kan, 2017). Therefore the environment should be in a harmonious relationship with the development and utilization of land resources. In this way, human beings can on one hand enjoy the harvest from the effective utilization of land resources and they can on the other hand share a beautiful and clean environment at the same time.（） |
