John McAlister: "China's water crisis", in: Deutsche Bank China Expert Series (22.3.2005).

But growing environmental pressure cannot continue unchecked as it is now constraining growth itself. For example, in Northern China, which produces 40% of the country’s GDP and accounts for 40% of the population, per capita annual renewable water supply is now 50% below the UN-defined threshold for minimum social and economic stability. According to a Deutsche Bank economist, “capital projects (in that region) that lack autonomous, proven, renewable water supplies for their operation are at risk”.

“…it has long been clear that GDP is an inadequate metric to gauge well-being over time particularly in its economic, environmental, and social dimensions, some aspects of which are often referred to as sustainability”.

“the well-being of future generations compared to ours will depend on what resources we pass on to them. Many different forms of resource are involved here. Future well-being will depend upon the magnitude of the stocks of exhaustible resources that we leave to the next generations. It will depend also on how well we maintain the quantity and quality of all the other renewable natural resources that are necessary for life.
