Science park leading the way to cleaner water

Kunming Aquatic Science Park, China's first water science and technology park in Southwest China's Yunnan province, is aiming to provide solutions for water pollution problems in the province and the rest of the country.

"Water shortage has occurred in more areas of China. Climate change is part of the reason, but pollution is also a major factor," said Zhong Bo, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of Kunming National Hi-Tech Industries Development Zone in Chenggong.

In Yunnan, for example, although water resources are rich, most are unevenly distributed or have been polluted, Zhong said.
