China has primarily tried to solve the issue of scarcity of water and to provide a reliable source of electricity by building hydropower dams, such as the Three Gorges Dam. Additionally, these dams help to manage flood control and can contribute to reducing the production of greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuel-based energy sources. However, the most direct answer to the question is the scarcity of water.
