China's water quality has gradually decreased over the years, and it seems to be decreasing faster than some may notice. Approximately half of China's water supply is said to be polluted with harmful substances from factory pollution as well as other pollution inserted straight into the water. The quality of the water has decreased 25% in the past two years, and may have decreased even further then that. The government of China has not posted statistics on their water clarity since 2009.
I chose this topic because I believe that water quality is an extremely important aspect of today's society. If a community does not know the dangers in the water that they are consuming, the number of health problems in the future may become endless. The factories in China are not up-to-date with their machinery, which prevents the filtration that actually does occur to not be nearly as effective with clearing out new metals etc. that are being inserted into the water.
Here is a website that helps to describe the many issues with the water pollution in China:
