  • CHINA. Hubei Province. Wuhan. Scene next to the Yangtze river. Wuhan (population 4.3 million) is a sprawling city that sits on both sides of the Yangtze River. Its trade has been inextricably linked with the Yangtze river for centuries. The Yangtze River is reported to be at its lowest level in 150 years as a result of a country-wide drought. It is China's longest river and the third longest in the world. Originating in Tibet, the river flows for 3,964 miles (6,380km) through central China into the East China Sea at Shanghai.  2008.

  • CHINA. Chongqing Province.  A street stall in the town of Wushan, which lies on the banks of the Yangtze and at the entrance to the 3 Gorges. As tourism booms, towns are being developed and modernized resulting in old areas being razed.  The flooding of the three Gorges, by damming the Yangtze near the town of YiChang, has remained a controversial subject due to the negative environmental consequences and the displacement of millions of people in the flood plain. The Yangtze River however is reported to be at its lowest level in 150 years as a result of a country-wide drought. It is China's longest river and the third longest in the world. Originating in Tibet, the river flows for 3,964 miles (6,380km) through central China into the East China Sea at Shanghai.  2008.

  • Tourists visit the Dongjiangwan tourist area, located in the heart of Tianjin port. The artificial beach has been created to lure tourists during the summer months. Much of the port area of Tianjin has been built on reclaimed land. China, 2019

  • A masked man stands on a seawall in the port city of Tianjin, in north-east China. Much of the port has been built on reclaimed land and now serves as one of China's busiest maritime hubs. According to an article in the South China Morning Post, "Artificial seawalls now stretch along some 60 per cent of the mainland's coastline...destroying or severely disrupting the natural function of lush wetland, much of which is earmarked for reclamation. This increases pollution that threatens water bird populations, degrades inshore and oceanic environments, and leaves coastal populations more vulnerable to extreme weather events such as typhoons." As sea levels are predicted to rise in northern China, sea walls will be the first line of defence for the people in Tianjin, however severe storm surges have the potential to threaten these defences. Behind the sea walls, land subsidence in areas of the city is also adding to the threat of flooding, leading experts to warn of lingering dangers to the city's 11,000,000 residents.
