	North China Plain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plain is bordered on the north by the Yanshan Mountains and on the west by the Taihang Mountains.
		Unlike southern China, the North China Plain is not divided by mountains or rivers and as a result communication by horse is rapid within the plain.
		Although the soil of the North China Plain is fertile, the weather is unpredictable, being at the intersection of humid winds from the Pacific and dry winds from the interior.

		China continues to refuse an apology for the increasing number of anti-Japanese protests, and further accuses Japan for handling the issues of history and Taiwan "incorrectly".
		China is also traditionally thought of as comprising Northern China (北方) and Southern China (南方), the geographic boundary between which north and south is largely generalized as Huai River (淮河) and Qinling Mountains (秦嶺).
		In terms of numbers, however, the pre-eminent ethnic group in China is the Han, which is a group so diverse in its culture and language that some conceive of it as a larger overarching group bringing together many smaller, distinct ethnic groups sharing common traits in language and culture.

	October 4, 2001: Worsening Water Shortages Threaten China's Food Security
		The water table under the North China Plain, which produces over half of China's wheat and a third of its corn, is falling faster than thought.
		The study, conducted by the Geological Environmental Monitoring Institute (GEMI) in Beijing, reported that under Heibei Province in the heart of the North China Plain, the average level of the deep aquifer dropped 2.9 meters (nearly 10 feet) in 2000.
		If China has another sizable grain harvest shortfall in 2002, it will likely be forced to import grain far in excess of the 7 million tons of wheat and 5 million tons of corn that it must promise to import if it joins the World Trade Organization in late 2001, as expected.

		The irrigation water prospect in the North China Plain, which produces half of China’s wheat and a third of its corn, is one of the keys to China’s long-term food security.
		Originating in the mountains to the immediate west of the North China Plain, the Huai is a key source of water for farmers in both Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
		The North China Plain depends heavily on two aquifers—a shallow aquifer that is replenishable and a deep fossil aquifer, which is not replenishable.

	China's water table levels are dropping fast \| By Lester R. Brown \| Grist Magazine \| Main Dish \| 26 Oct 2001
		He Qingcheng, head of the GEMI groundwater monitoring team, says that with the depletion of the deep aquifer under the North China Plain, the region is losing its last water reserve -- drain that, and the safety net is gone.
		Excessive demands on the three rivers that flow eastward into the North China Plain -- the Hai, the Yellow, and the Huai -- are causing them to run out of water entirely during the dry season, sometimes for extended periods of time.
		The water deficit in the North China Plain (that is, the amount by which use exceeds sustainable supply) may now exceed 40 billion tons per year.

	Agricultural Development in the North China Plain
		China's agriculture feeds a population of 1.2 billion people, of whom 900 million are rural.
		China implemented numerous large irrigation and drainage projects between 1949 and 1978, expanding its irrigated area from 16 million to 45 million hectares.
		The project area of NCPA was chosen because it was representative of 6 million hectares of land affected by waterlogging and salinity in the North China Plain.

	China's Geography - Terrain
		The northeast coastal region is dominated by the Manchurian Plain, the densely populated and flood-prone North China Plain, and the broad Yantze River valley.
		China's largest cities and best agricultual land are located in this region, comprised of the North China Plain and the Yangtze River valley, including the fertile triangle between Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou south of the Yangtze River delta.
		China's second largest river, the Yellow River (Huang He) also begins high in Tibet and follows a winding course for 4,700 km (2,920 mi), cutting around the Ordos Plateau and descending onto the North China Plain whre it eventually empties into the Gulf of Bo Hai.

		The relative aridity of the north is exacerbated by the uneven precipitation, especially in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong and in the provinces of the northeast (Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang).
		The Plain has been a region of dynamic agricultural growth in the 1970s, and expansion of the area under irrigation there is seen as crucial to satisfying China's increasing demand for foodgrains over the next few decades as well.
		It seems clear that north China's current salinization difficulties are related to over-irrigation as well as to imperfections in water storage facilities and practices, unusually concentrated precipitation and the high water table.

		In North China, the growing season for winter wheat is basically the dry portion of the year.
		In most areas north of the Huang He the field water deficit is 200 to 300 mm, and it exceeds 300 mm in the region of Xingtai, Nangong and Hejian.
