Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

China's rush to construct dams and transport water over long distances is primarily driven by the need to produce more water for crop irrigation, urban use, and hydroelectric projects. The country has been facing water scarcity due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, leading to increased demand for water. This makes it crucial to have enough water supply to support economic growth and development. Therefore, the government has been investing heavily in water infrastructure, including building dams, canals, and pipelines, to transport water from water-rich regions to water-deficient ones.
