Flight Transportation Laboratory FLIGHT TRANSPORTATION LABORATORY DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY FTL R75-3 February 1975 A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF AIR TRANSPORTATION IN MAINLAND CHINA by KOON-HO JOSEPH TAM -2- ABSTRACT This study attempts to obtain an overall picture of air transportation in Mainland Chima, domestic and international, past and present, so as to lay the ground for further studies. A brief history of early aviation development in China is described from limited available sources: the first sign of aviation in 1919, the starting of commercial aviation in 1929, general development under the Nationalists before 1949, and the establishment and growth of CAAC under the Communists. Then, the present situations of airline operations, CAAC and foreign, are discussed. As for domestic operations, flight schedules and timetables, a complete route map showing the important air hubs in the network, the direct service networks and summaries of the connections, fares, frequencies, non-stop distances etc. of 22 major cities are detailed to give a general view of CAAC's scheduled services. Internationally, an account of all foreign airlines serving China, their schedules and timetables, summaries of their present operations are tabulated. Next, CAAC's fares and rate structure, aircraft equipments and a comparison of CAAC with other airlines are touched upon. A brief description of airports and navigation aids in China is in- cluded. Maps are drawn showing their locations. Finally, the development of China's aviation relationships with her foreign partners is presented. Major partners like the U.S.S.R., Pakistan, France, Ethiopia and Japan are discussed in details. - 3 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My thanks first go to Professor Robert W.

    Water Situation In China – Crisis Or Business As Usual? Elaine Leong Master Thesis LIU-IEI-TEK-A--13/01600—SE Department of Management and Engineering Sub-department 1 Water Situation In China – Crisis Or Business As Usual? Elaine Leong Supervisor at LiU: Niclas Svensson Examiner at LiU: Niclas Svensson Supervisor at Shell Global Solutions: Gert-Jan Kramer Master Thesis LIU-IEI-TEK-A--13/01600—SE Department of Management and Engineering Sub-department 2 This page is left blank with purpose 3 Summary Several studies indicates China is experiencing a water crisis, were several regions are suffering of severe water scarcity and rivers are heavily polluted. On the other hand, water is used inefficiently and wastefully: water use efficiency in the agriculture sector is only 40% and within industry, only 40% of the industrial wastewater is recycled. However, based on statistical data, China’s total water resources is ranked sixth in the world, based on its water resources and yet, Yellow River and Hai River dries up in its estuary every year. In some regions, the water situation is exacerbated by the fact that rivers’ water is heavily polluted with a large amount of untreated wastewater, discharged into the rivers and deteriorating the water quality. Several regions’ groundwater is overexploited due to human activities demand, which is not met by local. Some provinces have over withdrawn groundwater, which has caused ground subsidence and increased soil salinity. So what is the situation in China? Is there a water crisis, and if so, what are the causes? This report is a review of several global water scarcity assessment methods and summarizes the findings of the results of China’s water resources to get a better understanding about the water situation.
