EPISODE 5: Are lives of the Chinese people at risk because of the water crisis? It appears so when you look at these examples: *In Southwestern China, hundreds of thousands of village residents have difficulty in getting enough water for daily usage. * A serious water pollution incident has led to the extinct of many native fish species in Dianchi Lake in southwestern China. * Lack of water treatment systems in many regions of China contribute to the water pollution problems. Although famous traditional Chinese songs celebrate the beauty of Chinese Rivers, the songs are now as source of embarrassment to the people of China. This is because most rivers in China are now terribly polluted. Although China achieved an industrial civilization in record time, it came at a horrible cost to the rivers in China. The pursuit of profit, the inability to create adequate water systems, and greed contributed to serious water pollution problems. Now the question is how can we make the water clean? And what have we learned? Water serves as a mirror, clearly reflecting the morality and conscience of a nation and all human kind.

EPISODE 1: To say that the water crisis in China is imminent is inaccurate. The crisis is already here, and the impact of the water crisis is seen in many regions across China. By examining the Dianchi Lake in Southwest China, we learn that certain fish species have disappeared, which was probably caused by lake pollution. It has been discovered that the origins of some traditional water sources, such as Changjiang River has changed. There is draught in north and west China, whereas in 2007 there were flood disasters in south China. The high density of people living in urban centers coupled with the rapid industrialization of China contribute to this problem. Throughout the history of China, the distribution of population is decided by the distribution of water source, which has lead to the underdevelopment of western China. There is an urgent need for Public Administrators, Government Leaders and Urban Planners, in cooperation with all the people of China, to work together in solving the water crisis.

EPISODE 2 One serious problem in China today is that the dessert is rapidly expanding, which is caused by over exploitation of land and climate change. The high density of people living in urban centers, coupled with the rapid industrialization of China, contribute to water pollution, water shortage and global warming. The water supply can not keep up with China's rapid industrialization and increasing population.

EPISODE 3: How safe is China's drinking water? The third and fourth episodes wrestle with conflicting values in China today. For example, what difference does it make if one drives the biggest and most expensive car, but cannot safely drink the water running from the water faucet? In a country where there is rapid urbanization and unbalanced economic development, China now faces complex problems in trying to provide clean drinking water for all citizens. The immediate problem can be seen by looking inside the rivers of China. For example, the explosion of blue algae in the Wuxi section of Taihu is a result of the rapid development of industrialization along the banks of the River. China now faces three serious problems relating to water: water shortage, imperfect water supply facilities and capacity, and, most importantly, water pollution. Water safety is not only a great problem for China, but also many other countries in the world.

EPISODE 6: Some traditional water sources, such as Dianchi Lake, are no longer famous for its native fish species because of the water pollution. The eco system of Dianchi Lake has been destroyed, which is mainly caused by waste water from chemical plants. One consequence of this kind of pollution is poisoned fish in lakes or rivers. Now China not only faces a shortage of water resources and lack of water facilities, but also lacks enough water treatment systems. Water pollution can cause a series of problems including environmental pollution and food pollution, which will directly has effect on human beings. For example, it is more likely for a person to be poisoned by the fish swimming in the water and food that are grown in the water than be poisoned by the water itself. Diseases that are caused by polluted fish are increasing dramatically these years in China. This is not just a war for water, but for all the human's health and survival.

EPISODE 9: When there is not enough water for everyone, people will risk their lives to get their share. Unfortunately there is no simple answer in finding a way to divide water equally. Water distribution has troubled the provincial leaders and farmers along the Zhang River as well as the Water Use Association in Hubei Province and the entrepreneurs from the Ordos region in Inner Mongolia. All struggle with sharing water. As leaders throughout China struggle to find a fair way to deal with water rights in China, they are influenced and often hindered by government control, legal constraints and market regulations. It is not easy to find justice among the stakeholders of the planet's ecosystems.
