China’s Growing Water Crisis
A Chinese Drought Would Be a Global Catastrophe

My Comment: This is becoming serious and it's a global problem with no viable solution as drought conditions worsen in the US, China, and Europe. It has major economic implications.

Excerpt:
China is on the brink of a water catastrophe. A multiyear drought could push the country into an outright water crisis. Such an outcome would not only have a significant effect on China’s grain and electricity production; it could also induce global food and industrial materials shortages on a far greater scale than those wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Given the country’s overriding importance to the global economy, potential water-driven disruptions beginning in China would rapidly reverberate through food, energy, and materials markets around the world and create economic and political turbulence for years to come.
