*China has a severe regional water imbalance with about four-fifths of the water supply in the south. As water becomes increasingly scarce this imbalance may cause social unrest and conflict between the northern and southern regions of China.
*Conflicts may arise between China and its neighboring countries if the country decides to look for new sources of water.
*As water becomes more scarce, farmers will not be able to plant crops and food may become more scarce. Additionally, the quality of food produced in China may come into question as farmers continue to use polluted water for crops. Both of these factors may cause the health of the Chinese population to decline.
*Economic growth may slow down significantly if comes down to whether or not people have enough water to survive and water needed for production of goods. This may slow China's rise as a economic power.
