Report Now Available from Beijing University Think-Tank: : “What’s in China’s Water?”

May 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Even with the new set of water quality standards being implemented by mid- summer of this year, experts say that at least half of China’s water supply factories cannot meet those standards. The majority of water plants are still operating with outdated processes and technology.

The report covers the water treatment and quality testing processes, the required funding for advanced water treatment technology and the government’s role in improving the overall quality standard. China experiences a water shortage of approximately 40 billion cubic meters annually. It is expected that the government will invest over US$600 billion in water conservation projects over the next 10 years.  

Some of the industry statistics included in the report, among others, are:
   Water testing quality figures,
   Fines for water pollution in Sichuan province,
   Current H2O analysis,
   Water pollution sources,
   Shanghai’s water quality passing rate,
   Water treatment process flow chart,
   Number of factories with upgraded technology,
   Average water prices in China,
   Government’s allocated budget for water quality improvement,
   2011 Total investments by private sector in China’s water industry,
   South to North water project,
   Water shortage figures,
   Case study: Xiangjiang River
   Case study: Macau vs. Zhuhai
   
Key takeaway is the assessment section by the head-strategist and on-the-ground team of research analysts at the university think-tank.
