Shanghai will spend ten billion yuan (US$1.2 billion) each year to improve its water quality, supply, environment and sightseeing in the next five years, sources from the ongoing China Water Summit 2003 held at the Shanghai International Convention Center revealed.
The investment will be used on sewage water disposal, riverbank environment protection and renovation.
By 2010, Shanghai aims to have three quarters of all sewage water disposed without harming the environment. The quality of drinking water will level up to that in European Union nations now.
Bank side renovation projects aims to build the Huang Pu River and Suzhou Creek, the city's two main waterways, into scenic spots with limpid water, green riverside, beautiful views and entertaining facilities, an official said on the forum.
Shanghai's investment in water environment totaled ten billion yuan in the past three years. The effort has paid off, as the city's tap water supply capacity reaches 10.64 million cub meters per day. Up to 80 percent of the industry-used water are recycled to save water resource. Sewage water disposing rate increases to more than 60 percent in 2000 from the 40 percent in 1999. Environment along the Suzhou Creek and most of its branch creeks is significantly improved.
