【 摘 要 】

Though more than 70 percent of the earth space is covered by ocean, only no more than 2.5 percent of the freshwater is available for the daily life of human beings. However, as the country who owns the biggest population in the world, China's per- capita average of freshwater resources amounts to only quarter of the world's. By analyzing the relationship between supply and demand of water resource, we build the Water Resources Carrying Capacity (WRCC) model and analyze the current situations of water resource in China.
