Topic 4: Pearl river delta and Yellow river

Many of the water pollutions caused are by discharges from chemical plants along rivers. So, the golden question is, why do people still do that despite knowing the consequences. The answer is, it is by far the most convenient and cheapest way of discharging industrial waste: into the sea. Other than the discharges, there are also accidents which are bound to happen, eg. spills.

Fortunately, the chinese government has it under control and takes extreme measures to prevent any more accidents and stops these chemical plants from polluting the water.

Not only does it cause harm to the aquatic life, human beings are also affected as the water was a source of drinking water.
