Drinking water a winner in Tibet

Drinking water has been making a splash in the Tibet autonomous region, providing jobs and boosting the economy.

According to a statement by the regional government over the weekend, Tibet's production of natural drinking water reached 425,600 metric tons in 2015, an increase of 178 percent year-on-year.

The importance of the drinking water industry was included among the topics of the latest working conference on Tibet in August.
