Hi Sophie, do excuse the delay in this response. To answer your question 'does China have that much water?'. I'd say the answer is both a yes and a no. Yes because it is one of the few countries with the highest renewable water resources (the others are Brazil, Russia, USA and Indonesia) See this infographic http://www.waterfootprint.org/downloads/2010-US-Infrastructure.png. No because of the opportunity cost involved in allocating water resources. There is no escaping the fact that sooner or later, the country is going to have to face tough choices with regard to water resources, much like the rest of the world.
