("Instead of spending as much as an estimated 500 billion yuan, about $73
billion, on the South-to-North Water Transfer Project * * * McKinsey says
China should invest in things like patching up leaky municipal water pipes,
managing irrigation better and recycling more industrial-use water.")

blame for drought. Los Angeles Times, Apr. 26, 2010.

("Some scientists say the fault lies with the destruction of the natural
forest and the replanting of cash crops that suck up too much water. Among
the notorious water-guzzlers are rubber trees and eucalypts, which are used
for paper and pulp production and are so vigorous that farmers sometimes
claim to hear them growing at night")

My comment: There is no need to read this LA Times report.

("4月12日中国经济网消息：中国工信部官员透露，目前中国中小企业约4000万家，平均寿命仅2.9岁。中国的中小企业的主体是民营企业。这让我想到此前的数据：1993 年以前民营企业平均寿命为4年，2000年提高到7.02年。中小企业寿命缩短的同时，中国的就业难日益凸显。")
