Water Situation in China – Crisis Or Business As Usual?
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 Some provinces have over withdrawn groundwater, which has caused ground subsidence and increased soil salinity.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. -
China Prioritising Environment
CHINA PRIORITISING ENVIRONMENT More Disclosure Needed To Match Rising Risks WATER ENERGY WASTE ENVIRONMENT CHINA PRIORITISES ENVIRONMENT: More Disclosure Needed To Match Rising Risks Environmental and water related risks have consistently been in the World Economic Forum’s Top Five Global Risks for the last eight years. Troublingly, climate change exacerbates these risks. Already their persistent and material impacts are shifting the regulatory landscape, which in turn is creating mainstream risks. It follows then that the finance sector should be working on identifying, valuing and managing these risks. While action to do this has started, the assessments are dependent on the underlying disclosure, which is still largely inconsistent and not decision relevant. China, recognising the immediacy of water and environmental risks is moving towards mandatory environmental disclosure for its exchanges for which it has a tentative 2020 deadline. Given this, we thought it was a good time to take stock on the E in ESG disclosure in China. This report provides an overview of this and breakdown, by energy, water and waste. It does this by analysing the disclosure of Chinese companies in six sectors from 2012 – 2015 from SynTao’s MQI database, which has over 10,000 CSR reports.

The optimist will point to the Party’s past record of adaptability and problem solving; the pessimist will point out that no longer are the interests of reform pointing in the same directions as the interests of Party cadres, and certainly not of some still powerful vested interests. But whether China muddles or triumphs through, few are predict- ing that problems such as debt, overcapacity, housing bubbles, economic rebalancing, the sheer cost of providing social security and services to 1.4 billion people will cause severe economic disruption or the collapse of Chi- na. -

Press Release
PRESS RELEASE Hong Kong SAR, June 15th 2011 – ADM Capital Foundation launches China Water Risk web portal for businesses and investors China Water Risk is an innovative non-profit information portal to help investors, business and individuals understand and mitigate risk around water. “Regardless of whether we care for the environment, we have come to a point where water risks affect us all,” says Debra Tan, Director of China Water Risk. Investors and the corporate community have the potential to accelerate sustainable water practices in China by addressing water-related risks in their portfolios and business operations. “Water risks impact community, nature and our business. Water stewardship, for us, is aligning a positive, social engagement with a business imperative,” says Greg Koch, Director of Global Water Stewardship for the Coca-Cola Company. However, water has yet to be factored into most corporate risk assessments, despite warnings by investment analysts. Water as an issue remains a lower priority than climate change, with limited data and information available on water issues combined with less awareness and publicity around the topic. With China projected to spend up to 1 trillion RMB by 2025 managing water scarcity, increasing attention is being paid to investment opportunities in water supply infrastructure, water treatment facilities and demand management technologies. However, many mainstream investors remain cautious, citing low water tariffs and the gradual pace of privatisation as constraints to investing in China’s water sector. When it comes to water technologies however, investors are more bullish citing desalination and wastewater treatment as good for recurring profits. These trends, coupled with more Chinese companies seeking foreign investment, provide a unique opening to engage investors and the corporate community on water risks. -

Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Notifiable Respiratory
Li et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:1597 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11627-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of spatial-temporal distribution of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in Shandong Province, China during 2005– 2014 Xiaomei Li1†, Dongzhen Chen1,2†, Yan Zhang3†, Xiaojia Xue4, Shengyang Zhang5, Meng Chen6, Xuena Liu1* and Guoyong Ding1* Abstract Background: Little comprehensive information on overall epidemic trend of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases is available in Shandong Province, China. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and epidemic characteristics of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Methods: Time series was firstly performed to describe the temporal distribution feature of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases during 2005–2014 in Shandong Province. GIS Natural Breaks (Jenks) was applied to divide the average annual incidence of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases into five grades. Spatial empirical Bayesian smoothed risk maps and excess risk maps were further used to investigate spatial patterns of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Global and local Moran’s I statistics were used to measure the spatial autocorrelation. Spatial- temporal scanning was used to detect spatiotemporal clusters and identify high-risk locations. Results: A total of 537,506 cases of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases were reported in Shandong Province during 2005–2014. The morbidity of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases had obvious seasonality with high morbidity in winter and spring. Local Moran’s I analysis showed that there were 5, 23, 24, 4, 20, 8, 14, 10 and 7 high-risk counties determined for influenza A (H1N1), measles, tuberculosis, meningococcal meningitis, pertussis, scarlet fever, influenza, mumps and rubella, respectively. -
