How have the people adapted to their environment?
Because there are so many factories all around China, the people have adapted to their environment by planting on the hill sides. Farmers have made irrigation systems so the water doesn't stay in the cities, where all the factories are but go in their crops. Not all of the irrigation systems are man made, most of them are natural irrigation systems. The farmers irrigated the land to farm and to build rice patties. Another thing that Chinese did to adapt to their polluted environment is by wearing those white face masks. Most Chinese believe that the masks will provide them from getting lung cancer, but the pollution level is so high the masks aren't working as well as they use to.
