Host of Water Expo, Guangzhou Has Bad Water
As reported in the China Daily, Guangzhou, China is now hosting three events the Water, Wastewater and Water Treatment China 2005; Pump, Valve & Pipe China 2005; and Air & Waste Treatment China 2005 all at the same time.
They are sponsored by the China Foreign Trade Centre Group and managed by China Foreign Trade Guangzhou Exhibition Corp, and will run until Friday.
More than 200 enterprises, including some from a dozen countries and regions, are showing off their latest equipment and technological solutions, ranging from the ultra filter system, membrane technology, bio-technology and seawater desalination to reverse osmosis for water supply and water treatment.
Meanwhile, the municipal government of Guangzhou will move into a higher gear to improve water infrastructure and the quality of drinking water, officials said yesterday at a seminar on water treatment.
The official said Guangzhou will install four sewage disposal works with online monitoring systems this year, at a cost of 12.55 million yuan (US$1.51 million) with the goal monitoring the 120 enterprises they suspect of polluting area rivers.
Not the best of timing for such an announcement, but obviously one that was needed to be made.
