Tibet will launch a program on natural drinking water and focus on relevant technologies about water resource investigation, utilization, waterqualityanalysis, etc., according to the Sci-technology Conference of Tibet Autonomous Region.

Renowned as "Asia's water tower", Tibet is rich in water resources. Its average annual water output can reach 439.4 billion cubic meters. The natural drinking water is rich in constant and trace elements such as lithium, strontium, magnesium and so on. With natural, pure, healthy, high quality and other obvious advantages, Tibet’s water is recognized as one of the best fresh water resources in the world.

In 2015, Tibet will highlight the development of characteristic industries, implement the brand strategy and make the industry development planning of natural drinking water. It also strives to achieve greater breakthroughs in the natural drinking water field.

According to Gangqing, director of the Science and Technology Hall of Tibet Autonomous Region, the launching of the natural drinking water program can improve the industrial innovation ability and provide new power to Tibet’s economic growth.
