El Ministerio de Recursos Hídricos de China anunció este martes que la cobertura de agua potable en las zonas rurales alcanzó el 96 por ciento a finales de 2025. Los proyectos a gran escala abastecen actualmente al 71 por ciento de la población rural, y el 72 por ciento de los condados emplea una gestión unificada.

A finales de 2025, China contaba con cerca de 3,82 millones de proyectos de suministro de agua rural, formando una red que atiende a 850 millones de residentes. El número de personas que dependen de aljibes y tanques de agua se redujo un 79 por ciento desde el final del periodo del XIII Plan Quinquenal.

Durante el XIV Plan Quinquenal, las zonas que salieron de la pobreza completaron 914.900 millones de yuanes en inversión en conservación de agua, incluidos 145.500 millones de yuanes en condados clave. La construcción de infraestructuras de suministro de agua rural aseguró 590.280 millones de yuanes, de los cuales el 80 por ciento fue cubierto por bonos locales, préstamos y capital social.

El ministerio tiene como objetivo elevar la cobertura al 97 por ciento para finales de 2026 y al 98 por ciento para 2030.
