Yangtze Riverdrought, Exposure of The Water Crisis Drought Has Fallen Upon China Again

Yangtze RiverDrought, Exposure of the Water Crisis Drought has fallen upon China again; And this time it hits the mid stream and downstream of Yangtze River. Continuously insufficient rainfall has led to low water levels in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. A serious drought has plagued some southern areas and 3483.3 million people are suffering from drinking water shortage. Fake Water-Saving Products Rule Sanitary Ware Market As a water scarce country, the Chinese central government attaches great importance to water saving and the promotion of water-saving products. Sanitary ware is a water guzzler. In our daily life, toilet water accounts for almost 50% to 60% of the total domestic water, so if we can save water in this field, then the entire water-saving project will be far more efficient. To meet this end, we will have to mainly depend on the designs of toilets, faucets and other products. At present, water-saving sanitary ware market is still not standardized, as for the most commonly used water closet, 6-liter models still rule the market. Many products did not meet the 6-liter standard, but they claimed that they have met the 6-liter standard, or even 3-liter and 4-liter. Water-Saving awareness, What Drought Is Hiding From us? In visits to different supermarkets, many dealers said household consumers do not care about water saving, instead they focus more on price and other factors. Some business managers said, sanitary products such as toilets, the main market of which locates in urban areas, although drought happens, but the city is always supplied with sufficient water, so no consumer is aware of the importance of water saving. On the other hand, water-saving product development needs man power, material and financial resources which are all huge investments, besides water saving products are more expensive than ordinary products, the price is making it less popular to consumers. Therefore, the "fake water saving" problem of sanitary products is due to the household consumers have no such demand, and people are not aware of the importance of water saving, all because of the price of domestic water is too cheap. However, household water is a daily necessity; The government can not overprice it. It appears that water price is the key to the success of water saving. Source: fstcb.com
