Paradigms:

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.

2006 - Official news agency says 18 million people are affected by what it describes as the country's worst drought in 50 years
2040 - Scientists say that the aquifers below the North China Plain may be drained within 30 years
2050 - China is still in the planning stages a $62 billion project called the South-to-North Water Transfer Project to funnel more than 12 trillion gallons northward every year along three routes from the Yangtze River basin, where water is more abundant. The project, if fully built, would be completed in 2050.
