The Shanghai Municipal Water Supplies Bureau says Shanghai is fully capable of coping with the demand for quality water, CRIENGLISH.com reported Wednesday.

A document released on Tuesday said water supply and demand are more or less balanced in the city with a daily average supply amounting to 7.41 million cubic meters in May. And Shanghai's maximum water supply capacity totals 10.64 million cubic meters per day, far exceeding the current supply margin.

However, the administration acknowledges that imbalance of water demand and supply might occur in certain industries, in certain areas or at certain periods of time as the municipality presses ahead with its economic and social growth.
