Experts bring wisdom to Yangtze water puzzle

New technologies

The national research center has introduced around 600 treatment technologies and brought the achievements of scientific research to the 58 cities in the Yangtze River Basin. It has also offered technical services to around 1,500 companies and 20,000 individuals.

The team dedicated to Yangtze conservation in Wuhan officially started work in June. Yan Zhongning, head of Wuhan Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau, said the approach of the team members could help find tailor-made solutions to address lingering thorny problems.

"Previously, we frequently changed experts for consulting on different projects. That makes it hard to get work done in a systematic manner," he said.
