Fujian to pipe water to Taiwan's Kinmen island

Fujian province will actively work with Taiwan's Kinmen county to tackle the county's ongoing water supply shortage and quality problems, a top provincial official said.

When visiting the county's Tienpu Reservoir on Friday, the head of Fujian province, You Quan, said the province is ready to embark on the construction of a pipeline that will bring fresh water to the county.

Kinmen, an island a few kilometers off Xiamen, is the last stop on You's five-day trip to Taiwan aimed at enhancing cross-Straits relations.
