Cindy Fan, Chair Through a mixed qualitative approach, this dissertation injects politics into an otherwise apolitical discussion of the largest water management project in human history, China’s South-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP). The SNWTP, which transfers water from south-central China to the country’s political and economic heart on the North China Plain (NCP), is being pursued as a means to transforming water management into a space in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can assert its power, rather than a space in which that power may be undermined. I demonstrate how the SNWTP is fundamentally underpinned by the CCP’s need to maintain continued economic growth in this critical water-stressed region, which serves as a key factor in its ability to maintain political legitimacy. In pursuing this ultimate goal, the government is presenting the SNWTP in ! ""! apolitical terms by putting forth what I call “discourses of distraction,” or alternative stories about an environmental controversy that serve a particular political agenda. These discourses, I argue, are being employed as a strategic tool to depoliticize the SNWTP, mask its social and ecological impacts, and deflect attention away from three major anthropogenic sources of water stress on the NCP, because to address them would undermine economic growth. In addition to demonstrating how discourse can serve as a political tool, the dissertation illustrates the utility of scalar constructions in political maneuvering around the South-North Water Transfer Project. It also illustrates the ways in which the SNWTP has necessitated a range of temporal, spatial, and sectoral trade- offs, which both reflect and reinforce existing power discrepancies and set in place a pattern of inequities that is likely to persist for decades. !

CHAPTER ONE: Introduction Introduction Freshwater is a unique and powerful resource. It is the foundation of ecosystem health and the primary actor in the hydrologic cycle, one of the earth’s most important system-regulating cycles. Freshwater habitats cover just one percent of the earth’s surface, but sustain more than 40 percent of known fish species and 12 percent of known animal species (Conca 2006: 87). Freshwater is also the most fundamental prerequisite for all plant and animal life, regardless of whether or not they live directly in freshwater habitats. In addition to serving as an essential building block of the natural world, water is central to the physical, cultural, and economic well being of humanity. Water makes up about 60 percent of the adult human body and, while a human may survive well over a month without food, most will die after roughly a week without water. It is also an important factor in human cultures, playing a central role in many spiritual traditions and religions. Among many Native American groups, water is believed to be a living entity with a spirit, while also serving as a source of power and purification and as a medium for meditation (Blackstock 2001: 5). Water has replaced wine in the Eucharistic cup in ! "! ! several Christian traditions (Daly-Denton 2007), it figures centrally in purifying rituals such as baptism, and Catholics anoint themselves with holy water for protection. To draw on but one of many other examples, water is also vital to Hindus, again serving as the medium for ritual cleansing and with rivers (such as the Ganges in south Asia) constituting the most sacred of places. Economically, water is a basic input for growth, helping to generate many forms of energy, facilitate industrial production, and produce the material inputs fundamental to the physical expansion of cities and the human built environment. It is a decisive factor in shaping how and where humans interface with the natural world through our built environment, carrying in its flows the power to make or break places with its scarcity or abundance.

This report focuses on the current and future situation of energy production and consumption in China and how China is coping with its increasing domestic energy demand. Today, coal is the most important energy resource, followed by oil and hydropower. Most energy resources are located in the inland, whereas the main demand for energy is in the coastal areas, which makes transportation and transmission of energy vital. The industrial sector is the main driver of the energy consumption in China, but the transport sector and the residential sector will increase their share of consumption by 2020.

  • Numerical Simulations of Spread Characteristics of Toxic Cyanide in the Danjiangkou Reservoir in China Under the Effects of Dam Cooperation
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation Mathematical Problems in Engineering Volume 2014, Article ID 373510, 10 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/373510 Research Article Numerical Simulations of Spread Characteristics of Toxic Cyanide in the Danjiangkou Reservoir in China under the Effects of Dam Cooperation Libin Chen, Zhifeng Yang, and Haifei Liu State Key Laboratory of Water Environment Simulation, School of Environment, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China Correspondence should be addressed to Zhifeng Yang; [email protected] Received 16 June 2014; Revised 1 September 2014; Accepted 1 September 2014; Published 29 September 2014 Academic Editor: Ricardo Aguilar-Lopez´ Copyright © 2014 Libin Chen et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Many accidents of releasing toxic pollutants into surface water happen each year in the world. It is believed that dam cooperation can affect flow field in reservoir and then can be applied to avoiding and reducing spread speed of toxic pollutants to drinking water intake mouth. However, few studies investigated the effects of dam cooperation on the spread characteristics of toxic pollutants in reservoir, especially the source reservoir for water diversion with more than one dam. The Danjiangkou Reservoir is the source reservoir of the China’ South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project. The human activities are active within this reservoir basin and cyanide-releasing accident once happened in upstream inflow. In order to simulate the spread characteristics of cyanide in the reservoir in the condition of dam cooperation, a three-dimensional water quality model based on the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) has been built and put into practice.

  • China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States
    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

To meet the associated increase in China’s food demand with the Received in revised form expected growth in its already large population of 1.3 billion and diet changes, wheat production in the 18 September 2012 NCP needs to increase. Because of the farmland reduction due to urbanization, strategies for increasing Accepted 19 September 2012 wheat production in the NCP should be targeted at increasing current yields. To identify options for increasing wheat yields, we analyzed the yield potentials and yield gaps using the EPIC (Environment Keywords: Policy Integrated Climate) model, Kriging interpolation techniques, GIS and average farm yields at county North China Plain, Winter wheat level. As most (ca. 82%) of the winter wheat in the NCP is irrigated, it is justified to use potential yield as the Potential yield, Actual yield, Yield gap benchmark of the yield gap assessment.

    1 Delineating multiple salinization processes in a coastal plain aquifer, northern China: 2 hydrochemical and isotopic evidence 3 4 Han Dongmeia,b, Matthew Currellc 5 a Key Laboratory of Water Cycle & Related Land Surface Processes, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources 6 Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101, China 7 b College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 8 c School of Engineering, RMIT University, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. 9 10 Abstract 11 Groundwater is an important water resource for agricultural irrigation, urban and industrial utilization in the 12 coastal regions of northern China. In the past five decades, coastal groundwater salinization in the 13 Yang-Dai River plain has become increasingly serious under the influence of anthropogenic activities and 14 climatic change. It is pivotal for the scientific management of coastal water resources to accurately 15 understand groundwater salinization processes and their causative factors. Hydrochemical (major ion and 16 trace element) and stable isotopic (δ18O and δ2H) analysis of different water bodies (surface water, 17 groundwater, geothermal water, and seawater) were conducted to improve understanding of groundwater 18 salinization processes in the plain’s Quaternary aquifer. Saltwater intrusion due to intensive groundwater 19 pumping is a major process, either by vertical infiltration along riverbeds which convey saline surface 20 water inland, and/or direct subsurface lateral inflow. Trends in salinity with depth indicate that the former 21 may be more important than previously assumed. The proportion of seawater in groundwater is estimated 22 to have reached up to 13% in shallow groundwater of a local well field.
