Leaders act on recommendations of 4th Wei River Forum

Government leaders attached great importance to the recommendations of the 4th Wei River Forum, held in October 2010 and organised by GWP China-Shaanxi together with Shaanxi Principal Water Resources Department.

GWP China-Shaanxi took a lead in preparing the agenda and submitting the recommendations to local government leaders. The agreement by provincial agencies to revise the comprehensive management plan for the Wei River – emphasising flood protection and improving water quality – attracted significant media attention. The revised plan commits RMB 60.7 billion (about US$9.3 billion) to control floods, maintain ecological flows and treat wastewater. Most significantly, the plan also sets up a new institution to carry out the plan, the Wei River Management Headquarters, headed by the Vice Governor and managed by the Director General of the Water Resources Department.
