- 中国人均水资源拥有量仅为世界人均水平四分之一左右，是全球人均水资源最贫乏的国家之一。中国658个城市中，有三分之二以上缺水。同时，我国又是水资源分布极其不均的一个国家。根据国家统计局数据显示，我国水资源分布呈现南多北少、东多西少的趋势。华北平原地区作为每年水资源缺失的“总灾区“，人均水资源占有量为青藏高原的十分之一。
中国的水资源分布不均，呈现东多西少、南多北少的局面。地区人均水资源拥有量差距高达10倍。2005-2014年水资源消耗逐年平稳上升，农业用水占主要部分。江苏省、上海市、宁夏回族自治区和河北省的水资源入不敷出。
我国废水排放量逐年上升，总体而言东部地区最多，东北地区最少。2011年以后全国范围内废水排放量和水体有机污染有显著的增加。
2005-2014年环太平洋地区内中国改善水源状况平稳提升，但与发达国家水平有差距。仍有少数地区水源改善状况不容乐观。
Chinese water resources distribute unevenly, descending from the south to the north, the east to the west. Regional gap is as much as 10 times per capita water capacity.
Water consumption is rising slightly year by year from 2005 to 2014, as main water consumption is in agriculture. Water consumption in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Ningxia, and Hebei province cannot make ends meet. Wastewater emissions is rising year by year in our country. In general, the wastewater emissions of eastern region is the most and northeast China is the least .
After 2011, nation-wide wastewater and organic pollution in water has increased significantly. Within 2005-2014, China improves water quality steadily, but the gap between developed countries in Pacific Rim is still large. There are still some area need to improve their water quality.
