Wastewater project in Ji`nan, China

China is the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide. Water scarcity, lack of awareness of global warming effects and health threats represent a huge challenge in the country. The air in many cities is dangerous to breathe, the water is toxic and there are often food health scares

The project was financed by the Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Mizuho Bank
