Your user page
If you are considering drafting an article on water supply in China, this could be an interesting topic but may I suggest creating it in a user subpage rather than your main user page. The purpose of a user page is normally to introduce yourself to other Wikipedia editors if you so wish. Some guidance on writing an article, editing in general, and sources of help are linked above Noyster (talk),  11:24, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Use of categories
Hi again, I wanted to let you know that I moved the category page you created into a subpage in your user space, and you will find it in User:Iriswang/Polluted groundwater in China. This is a more appropriate location for notes related to drafting an article. You may not have fully understood the use of categories in Wikipedia, which exist to classify different articles by subject matter. Thus, a typical article like Groundwater will show at the bottom that it has been placed in Category:Aquifers, Category:Hydrology and others. Please do some more reading of guidance like Your first article, or ask for help if unsure Noyster (talk),  09:17, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
