Pollution controls toughened (China Daily) Updated: 2004-10-01 11:13 The State Environmental
Protection Administration yesterday issued a circular calling for a
strengthening of pollution controls along the Yellow River to ensure that
qualified water can flow to North China's Tianjin Municipality.
To ease the serious thirst in Tianjin, the State Council has approved an
emergency response plan, according to which Yellow River water will be
introduced to Tianjin from October 10. The whole process will last for 110 days.
The same practice was carried out last year.
Monitoring of water quality will be reinforced, control over polluting
enterprises will be tightened, and information will be exchanged smoothly among
departments involved, according to the circular.
