China To Spend 30 bln Yuan To Clean Polluted Lake

From Xinhua:

Southwest China’s Yunnan Province will spend about 30 billion yuan (4.29 billion U.S. dollars) in the coming three years to tackle pollution in Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Yunnan Governor Qin Guangrong listed the work on Dianchi as “top priority” in the building of a modern Kunming, capital of the province, at a conference earlier this week.

Qin said that the project’s success relied on the implementation of six sub-programs including pollution source interception, ecological protection, dredging and others.
