chinese environmental activist and journalist ma jun warned in 2006 that china is facing a water crisis that includes water shortages, water pollution and a deterioration in water quality. ma argued that 400 out of 600 cities in china are facing water shortages to varying degrees, including 30 out of the 32 largest cities. furthermore, ma argued, discharges of waste water have increased continually over the years 2001-2006, and that 300 million peasants’ drinking water is not safe. he warned: "in the north, due to the drying up of the surface water, the underground water has been over-extracted. the water shortage in the north could have drastic affects because almost half of china's population lives on only 15 percent of its water. the situation is not sustainable. though the south has abundant water, there is a lack of clean water due to serious water pollution. even water-abundant deltas like the yangtze and the pearl river suffer from water shortages."
