Drought and pollution in city reservoirs, population growth and rapid industrial development have left the capital with an acute water
\ncrisis. And with water use expected to rise by 30% during the Games,scarce resources will be strained even further, the report by Probe International says.<\/p>\n

A massive canal project will pump 300 million cubic metres of water to Beijing this summer as part of any effort to use China’s south to replenish its parched north. But the report says such large-scale transfer projects won’t solve the problems facing the capital.<\/p>\n

Instead of large engineering projects, the study recommends restrictions on urban development and water-guzzling industries, the
\nenforcement of anti-pollution laws and water rights trading schemes.<\/p>\n
