We recently read a report on China's environmental problems, based on reports from Singapore's Straits Times. There was one statistic that shocked us. Environmental experts claim that without some great change, pollution might, within five years, make the Yangtze River just about unsuitable for all forms of life to live in. The baiji, or the Yangtze River dolphin, was only the latest victim. According to the first report, in the 1980s there were 126 forms of life in the river, and by 2002, that figure was already down to 52.    Just how bad is the situation? The Yangtze River flows by 186 cities on its way from Qinghai to Shanghai, and in the process picks up 40% of China's polluted waste water. According to another report, in 2006, China produced a total of 53.7 billion tons of waste water. But that's not the worst news. By 2030, China might possibly use up between 89-100% of its sources of drinking water.    All of this begs a deeper question: What kind of water are they using when they pump 10 kilos of water into pigs headed for the slaughterhouse ? This is an important question because if its waste water is not fit for human to drink, there's a chance that some of whatever was in that water was in the pork you had for lunch today. And if the water is safe to drink, that's a waste of perfectly good water.    Another report we read, related to the Taihu algae  blooming that has left 3 million people in the Wuxi area without drinking water, claims(quite believably) that Taihu's environmental problems will never end until all the factories along the lake close down. The algae bloom is so bad there that lots of people have to take the algae out of the lake all day long instead of fishing. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Yangtze River according to the passage?
It goes by 186 cities on its way from the source to the sea. Lots of waste water in the country is poured into the river. The baiji in the river is now in danger of extinction. We can hardly see any forms of life in the river now.
