The Problem: ** As an "emerging market" and BRIC nation, China faces a spectrum of internal **socio-economic conflicts** which actively hinder its progression towards a universal standard of success. [1] Namely, China's economically detrimental water deficiencies result from the following overarching factors: lack of proper infrastructure, scarcity of domestic water availablity, widespread arsenic contamination, industrial pollution. In order to further instigate economic advancement and fundamentally secure China's current position as an emerging global power, China must aim to formulaically pacify its domestic, industrial, and agricultural water demands.

It would be imprudent to further explicate and deconstruct the water crisis without first providing a brief outline of the problem in the context of the "rise of the rest":

China's water demand superceeds that of most other BRIC nations (second only to India), hosting a population of over 1.3 billion and commonly identified as the world's most populated nation. Refer to the following breakdown of China's nationwide water demand:

1) **78%** Agricultural 2) **18%** Industrial 3) **5%** Domestic*


 * Domestic demand consists of that from livestock
