- - - - Hydropower is China's 2nd largest source of electricity
      - Clean energy requires water as well
        
        Concentrated solar energy requires 48, 667 tons of water
        
        Wind energy requires 1767 tons of water
        
        Solar PV requires 494 tons of water
      - 20% of China's national water withdrawels goes towards coal mining, processing, coal ash control and coal-fired power plants
  - - - Improving the ability to prevent floods and droughts
      - improving the ability to conserve water resources
      - improving water resources and optimising allocation capacity
        
        This is due to the increasing climate insecurity China is facing- increasing importance of forecasting and managing floods and drought disasters
      - strengthening the ecological protection and governance of large rivers and lakes
    - - this will be done by improving the leak detection systems of the water supply pipe networks
        
        urban water supply pipe networks
        
        sewage recycling facilities
      - water saving appliances will be encouraged
- - - - water scarcity and climate shocks continue to impact China's agricultural production
        
        In 2022, a severe heatwave significantly decreased national rice production
      - Harvest yield has predicted to have fallen by at least 30%
      - Rising sea levels threaten farmland along the coast
  - - - salt tolerant strains designed to thrive in salty alkaline soil
      - produces a higher yield than standard varieties
      - High area of land that is too high in saline for crops to grow
        
        using just a 10th of this land to grow seawater rice could boost China's rice production enought to feed 200million people
    - - In 2020 AI assisted farmers outperformed traditional farmers in a strawberry growing competion
        
        produced 196% more than traditional farmer
      - this is due to more precise analysis and application of data
- - - - the southwest province of Sichuan relies on dams to generate 80% of its electricity
        
        Sichuan suffered from power shortages after low rainfall dried up rivers and reservoirs
