Improvement Project at Pearl River Estuary Kicked off

The improvement project of the Pearl River estuary, one of the key construction projects of Guangdong Province, was started February 23, and the first stage will see a total investment of 313.47 million yuan to be injected.

Summing up experiences in flood control of "storing waters at the upper reaches, getting prepared against floods in the middle while draining and spilling it in the lower reaches" the project is of great importance for improving the water environment of the Pearl River Delta. As a key project it also plays a big role in preventing and controlling floods in the area and so is of great significance to the modernization.

As estimated, the first phase of the project will be brought to an end by 2005 and the final treatment, as a whole, will be basically wound up by the year 2010. Therefore, no serious flood will occur at the Pearl River Delta in 100 years to come. In the meantime, the resources at the estuary can be reasonably exploited for a sustainable development.
