Chinese water on video
Here are some videos I have picked up on the Internet. All of them deal with the water pollution or water shortage in China. These are english speaking, but most of videos on China’s water will be find in chinese speaking (mainly on videos website). In generally, the thema focuses on shortage and pollution problems. This is probaby due to the Government’s efforts to inform populations (especially the urban one) about limited resources and how to save water.
