Yellow River sewage outlets to be mapped

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has launched a campaign to comb the banks of the Yellow River to map all sewage outlets to fight pollution. The campaign aims to boost protection of the environment and promote high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, the ministry said. The campaign will first map the sewage outlets and then monitor the pollutants they discharge, trace pollution to its source and develop tailor-made remediation measures. The campaign will last for two to three years, with the mapping of the outlets to be completed this year.
