China has admitted that measures to tackle “serious” water pollution in the southern booming province of Guangdong are not working, state media reported on Wednesday.
Water quality in both coastal waters and inland estuaries remained poor, the China Daily said, citing Chinese experts.
The drainage of land pollutants to the sea was a key reason for the poor sea quality and poor ecological environment, the China Daily quoted Zhong Jianqiang, an environmental researcher, as saying.
