Adapting to Water Scarcity: Improving water sources and use in urban agriculture in Beijing

Femke Hoekstra — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 10:51:25 +0000

Ji Wenhua, Cai Jianming

In: UA Magazine no. 20 - Water for Urban Agriculture, pp. 11-13

Beijing is facing a shortage of water. Because of downward trend in rainfall, surface water is gradually drying up and the level of groundwater is declining. This decline in availability of water is affecting urban agriculture in the city. Innovations are being sought by both the government and farmers focusing on the use of new water sources, like reuse of wastewater and rainwater harvesting, and improved water management.

Innovations in Greenhouse Rainwater Harvesting System in Beijing, China

Zhang Feifei, Cai Jianming and Ji Wenhua

In: UA Magazine no. 19 - Stimulating Innovation in Urban Agriculture

Beijing is a city faced with a shortage of water. Less than 600 mm of rain falls per year; but this figure is highly variable and actual rainfall has been lower than average in the past eight years. Less than 300 cubic metres of water is available per person per year; this is one eighth of the average volume per person available in the country as a whole and one thirtieth of the world average. Because of the downward trend in rainfall, surface water is gradually drying up and the level of ground water is declining.

Emerging Migrant Farmer Communities in Peri-urban Beijing

Femke Hoekstra — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 09:14:46 +0000

Zhang Feifei, Cai Jianming and Liu Gang

In: UA Magazine no. 18 - Building Communities through Urban Agriculture

Migration to cities has increased rapidly since reforms took place in China. It has been estimated that
over the past 30 years, more than 300 million people have successfully transferred their residence and have found a job in one of the rapidly growing cities of China; and it is expected that this trend will continue in the coming 15-20 years (Feng, 1996). Quite a number of migrants stay in the periurban areas and turn to urban agriculture for their livelihoods.
