From a stinky and murky river to the new home of hundreds of species of plants and animals, the transformation of the Liangshui River over the past 10 years is an epitome of Beijing's water pollution control and treatment endeavour.
Data shows that a total of 142 sections of polluted water bodies across Beijing have all been restored to clarity. With comprehensive policies, advanced technologies and residents' careful maintenance, Beijing's rivers and lakes will continue to quench the city's thirst and nourish its people.
