| Summary: | Lingyuan City in Liaoning Province,
China, is a county level city with a population of around
six hundred fifty thousand people who have been facing acute
water scarcity. The Daling River, which flows through the
city, runs dry for about seven months a year on average. The
limited availability of surface water, combined with
pollution of the Daling River, has led to the
overexploitation of groundwater resources. This case study
is part of a series prepared by the World Bank’s Water
Global Practice to highlight existing experiences in the
water sector. The purpose of the series is to showcase one
or more of the elements that can contribute toward a Water
in Circular Economy and Resilience (WICER) system. This case
study focuses on the experiences of Lingyuan City in China. |
