With the endeavors of SDIC""s major environmental protection platform CWEG, the water quality of Erhai Lake has been greatly improved compared with previous years, mainly thanks to the underground WWTP that is an outcome of high-quality development and innovation model, signifying a successful implementation of China""s green development strategy.

    CWEG Chairman Hou Feng was invited to give a report entitled “How to Build a World-leading Water Environment Management Brand of China”. In his report, Hou pointed out that “water environment management” has already been included in the national strategies and three major campaigns of China (referring to air, water and soil pollution prevention and control campaigns),with explicit goals to be achieved and requiring the joint effort of all stakeholders.
