The following passage is picked from the material:
Since 1999, Beijing has been drought for seven years.
In recent years, Miyun Reservoir restores only 1 billion
liters of water, which can one-year supply of Beijing.
The underground water level descends continuously, which
is below 20m of soil surface. Planning of South-to-North
Water Transfer Project in China will finish in the end
of 2007. 2008 Olympics require high water quality. In
order to protect our water resource, we hope everyone
not swim or pour rubbish in the channel. Protecting
water is the responsibility of each citizen.
