Shenmu County is an important part of the Shaanbei Energy and Chemical Base. Since 2004, the economy has been developing dramatically thanks to its rich coal resources and the county was for the first time listed among the “Top 100 Prosperous Counties in China” in 2008. Yulin has been tagged as “the Oriental Kuwait”.In original language:中国榆林煤矿产业榆林,位于神府煤田里的一座城市,与鄂尔多斯、朔州并称为中国煤炭金三角。神木县是陕北能源化工基地里尤为重要的一个地区。自2004年起,凭借当地丰富的煤矿资源,当地经济迅速腾飞,2008年第一次跻身全国百强县。榆林一度被誉为“东方科威特”。Locations:Asia-China-East Asia-Shanxi-Shenmu CountyDate:22 Jan, 2016Credit:© Nian Shan / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5760px X 3840pxKeywords:Chimneys-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Coal-fired power stations-Conflict-Day-Industries-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Pollution-Smog-Smoke-Steam-WaterShoot:Water-Coal Conflict in ChinaIn Shenmu County, Yulin, Shanxi province, which has been one of the “Top 100 Prosperous Counties in China”, there are many so called “coal bosses”, who own luxury cars and assets worth more than hundreds of millions. However, the coal industry in this area has been declining. Coal mining and the use of water resources by the coal industry has damaged the ecosystem and in recent years one tributary of the Yellow River flowing through this area has suffered flow disruption. Crops production in some places dropped, reservoirs dried up, ground collapsed and walls of houses cracked forcing villagers to move out.Related Collections:World Water Day 2016Global Shift: Coal ReportWater-Coal Conflict in China
