Supporting the growth of Baishan while preserving water resources

ongoing

The first objective of the project supported by AFD is to increase water production and treatment capacities to meet the growing demand of Jiangyuan district, home to 250,000 people. A new water treatment plant with an initial capacity of 20,000 m3 per day will supply the urban area.A water loss reduction program will be implemented, and improved wastewater and sewage sludge treatment will help to protect the environment and reduce pollution sources. The project will therefore upgrade the Jiangyuan wastewater treatment plant (capacity of 20,000 m3 per day) and build infrastructure for wastewater reuse.A sewage sludge treatment plant will also be built to receive sewage sludge from district plants and two water treatment plants will be built in the towns of Shiren and Wangou.
