Pakistan to face 31% water shortage by 2025

The vast majority of the water in major rivers flows into the sea.

The mighty Yangtze river in China, it is estimated that approximately 96% of the water flows into the Pacific ocean.

China is supposed to have water shortage too in the near future ...right?

Yep, but mostly in the Northern areas next to the Mongolian desert. (Beijing for example is in this unhappy location).

The Southeast part of China (the most populated area) has an enormous amount of water, so does the Tibetan plateau.

This is why we started the South–North Water Transfer Project, which will cost twice as much as the Three Gorges Dam and will move excess water from the Yangtze river up to the Northern area near Beijing.

This project is far more ambitious than the Three Gorges Dam.

Wish we could have done what ABV proposed - interlinking all rivers.
 
I know, but my point is, keeping the rate of flow of water a constant, isn't it logical for decreased water share for per capita?

Offcourse, if you keep amount of water source constant, then per capita share would naturally decrease with increase in population.
