effective evaluation" of these policy measures remains rare (Shao, 2010, p. 690). The following research paper will offer an overview of the problem before describing possible solution options. Kim
(2005) identifies Chinas water issues as a problem that is so severe, it not only threatens the countrys economic development, but is a potential threat to is political stability. In
addition to the fact that the vast majority of water resources available to China are highly polluted, there simply is not enough water. For instance, due to the "deforestation that
culminated with Maos war against nature," and also due to "lingering dry spells," the Yellow River, Chinas "mother river," has been reduced in flow so greatly that its bed is

River, have lost their characteristic yellow color and are now black (Kim, 2007). Shortages in water have caused "social and economic disruptions" across the nation and polluted water has increased
