The vast, yet inaccessible, underground waters in southwest Yunnan Province represent the front lines of China's freshwater crisis. Two openings in the earth — Shi Dong and Nan Dong caves, where the Yang Liu River slips into and out of the shadows — mark the point where a fluvial region, rich with surface streams, meets an unusual geologic formation of soluble rock layers known as a karst landscape.

It is also a fateful human-dividing line; a place where China's challenges with water scarcity, land use, and pollution come into clear focus. See the full multimedia report online at http://www.circleofblue.org/dragons
