Water quality in China is getting worse, mainly due to pollution from agriculture. Fertilizers, livestock, and waste disposal in rural areas are the main culprits. This pollution is a big problem for rivers and lakes. But, current laws and policies don't focus on fixing it. Without better rules and ways to pay for clean-up, rural areas and society will suffer. To solve this, China needs new laws, money, monitoring, and guidelines. Fixing agricultural pollution needs help from many groups, not just one.
