China’s southern Guangdong province discharged billions of tons of raw sewage last year into the Pearl River Delta that supplies Hong Kong and Macau, the China Daily newspaper reported today.
About 9.5 billion tons of raw sewage, or three-fourths of Guangdong’s output, flowed untreated into local rivers, the newspaper said, citing findings published by the province’s Department of Water Resources. More than half of that amount went into the Pearl River Delta, it said.
