Recycled Wastewater Aids Agriculture and Industry

2002/12/01

The Chinese capital has built more than 100 intermediate water recycling centers, with a further 100 now under construction. The city adds an average 30 such centers each year, ranking it first in the nation. The centers recycle wastewater for use in agricultural irrigation, urban horticulture, car washes and industrial cooling. Meanwhile, city authorities are asking real-estate developers to install such facilities in new projects, enabling householders to use the wastewater for sanitary purposes only.
