Ladies and gentlemen, Good morning.I?m Li Hua from Fujian, China.It?s my great honor to be here to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it. As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population.
