Current
and
future
water
issues
in
China
are
well
documented,
and
are
increasingly
a
priority
for
the
Chinese.
Recent
visits
by
Waterloo
senior
administration
and
researchers
have
concluded
that
there
is
a
growing
awareness
and
commitment
to
address
water
issues,
and
that
collaboration
with
the
Water
Institute
was
of
particular
interest.
Waterloo
researchers
will
hold
joint
workshops
with
the
following
institutions:
May
21
&
22:
Wuhan
University
and
the
China
University
of
Geosciences
(Wuhan)
in
Wuhan;
May
25
&
26:
Southwest
University
in
Chongqing;
May

&

Chinese
Ministry
of
Environmental
Protection/Chinese
Research
Academy
of
Environmental
Sciences
in
Hangzhou;
