Call for improved sewage facilities

GUANGZHOU: More work is needed to improve wastewater treatment facilities in less-developed areas of Guangdong, the China Zhigong Party said recently.

"Much has been achieved in the Pearl River Delta region, but this is not the case in the less-developed regions to the east, west and north of the province," the party's Guangdong committee said in a recent report.

About 90 percent of the wastewater handling capacity is in the Pearl River Delta region, it said.
