Baiyangdian cleanup plan emerging to boost Xiongan

Environmental remediation essential to success of new area, academician says

Targeted environmental standards and a smart management system will be created to clean up the Baiyangdian Lake basin - not only to restore the ecology but to boost the prosperity of Xiongan New Area - according to authorities in Hebei province.

The full nine-chapter draft for Baiyangdian (2018-35) is yet to be released to the public. It was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, based on a philosophy of supporting the new city with wetlands in ways that are good for both, a report from China National Radio said.
