CHENNAI: To prevent inundation during seasonal rains in the future, the Water Resources Department (WRD) has taken up restoration work of Chengalpattu's largest water body, Maduranthakam lake. The storage capacity of the lake was reduced to 530 mcft from 691 mcft, which led to flooding in several places. As part of the restoration project, the capacity of the water body will be enhanced to 791 mcft.
Earlier, water was discharged from the Chembarambakkam lake only after it reached its maximum capacity.
"For over a year, the State has witnessed intense rainfall. To avoid water stagnation in the residential areas, restoration work has started recently. The prior reason is to increase the water storage capacity from 691 mcft to 791 mcft. It can store additional water during the rainy seasons," said a senior WRD official.
After enhancement of the lake capacity, the water level of the lake will be identified and discharged when it reaches full storage without water being released from Chembarambakkam dam. As many as 70 houses were evicted near the Madurantakam lake. Now, it is an encroachment free zone.
"As part of the restoration work, we will carry the lake, bund strengthening, weir, and sluice repair, and a retaining wall will be constructed. The total cost of the project is Rs 120 crore, at least 15 per cent of the work is completed so far," stated the official.

Minister of Agriculture Noel Holder today (April 6) met with a team from the World Bank to discuss the progress of the Cunha Canal Rehabilitation project.
The project was officially signed on in February 2016 at the Ministry of Finance by Finance Minister, Winston Jordan and World Bank Representatives.
The project will see rehabilitation of the drainage canal, construction and rehabilitation of sluices and the construction of a bridge on the East Bank of Demerara Public Road.
The team of specialists will be collectively working with the Agriculture Sector Development Unit (ASDU) and the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) to ensure the project is successfully completed over the next three years.
A release from the Ministry of Agriculture said the World Bank is injecting US$3M into the project which will improve the relief capacity of the East Demerara Water Conservancy system by lowering of the risk of water levels exceeding safe operating levels.
“In addition to flood relief, the project will also satisfy a development objective which is to improve the drainage in agricultural areas on the East Bank of Demerara that drain to the Bandarima Creek and Sarah Johanna Canal. These areas will now be able to have an increase in agricultural production since areas that previously lodged water will be drained and available for cultivation,” the Ministry further noted.
Under the Flood Risk Management Project, $11.9M USD was injected by the World Bank and implemented by the Agriculture Sector Development Unit (ASDU) under the Ministry of Agriculture. The project will see the reconstruction of 4km of the North Eastern Dam of the East Demerara Water Conservancy as well as the construction of three pump stations at Hope/Enmore, Lusignan and Buxton Friendship.
Tenders were recently submitted for the reconstruction of the dam while tenders for the pump stations are expected to be advertised by the end of this month.


Access Engineering Plc, one of the foremost civil engineering companies in Sri Lanka was recently awarded the construction of Deduru Oya Water Supply Project, Ridi Bendi Ela, Maho.
Recognizing the urgent requirement to halt and turn back the growing threat of chronic diseases rapidly spreading across the areas of Nagollagama, Maho and Polpithigama, the National Water Supply and Drainage Board spearheaded the said project together with Kolon Global Corporation of Korea in order to provide safe drinking water to the surrounding communities.
The water treatment plant in construction is of a capacity of 15,000m3/day and is to hold raw water intake of 16,500m3/day. Three numbers of overhead tanks of capacities of 1,000m3, 750m3, 1,500m3 are planned to be built in Maho, Nagollagama and Polpithigama respectively.
While the project is executed by the National Water and Drainage Board and is funded by the Government of Sri Lanka and the Government of Korea, the construction work of the project is awarded to Kolon Global Corporation. The major parts of the construction work were subsequently subcontracted to Access Engineering PLC.
The scope of the works awarded to Access Engineering PLC, includes the construction of an intake pump station (16,500M3/day capacity) at the left canal bank of Deduru Oya reservoir, Potuwewa water treatment plant (15,000 M3 per day capacity), water storage tanks at Maho ( 1000m3) capacity and Nagollagama (750 m3) and the laying of raw water main 500mm dia 3.5km long Di pipe line from the intake to Treatment Plant at Pothuwewa, laying of clear water transmission for 26 km from water treatment plant to Nagallagama and Maho and the installation of distribution network for 164 km of diameters from 100mm – 300mm (PVC & HDPE).
“Progressing the project amidst the dry spell would be quiet tedious, but the engineering team of Access Engineering PLC will work in maximum capacity in order to complete project which has a direct benefit to the deserving communities around within the scheduled project time period,” said Saman Abeykoon, the Project Manager of Access Engineering for the construction of Deduru Oya Water Treatment Plant Project.


Experimental tests and numerical analysis were undertaken to investigate the specific storage of sedimentary rocks for supercritical CO2. New laboratory system of constant flow pump permeability test was developed in order to measure permeability and specific storage of sedimentary rock in similar physical condition of deep aquifer where CO2 tends to be in supercritical phase. To analyze experimental results, numerical analysis was established by extending the theoretical model of constant flow permeability to deal with two phase flow drainage displacement. For the examination of its applicability, experimental test was undertaken in which Ainoura sandstone used as core sample, injected with supercritical CO2 under laboratory condition of 35°C constant reservoir temperature, 10 MPa initial hydraulic pressure, and 20 MPa constant overburden pressure The experimental results show that, average specific storage of Ainoura sandstone is about 3.74×10-4 1/Pa at a maximum CO2 saturation of 0.55, and volumetric strain increases about 0.7%. The accuracy of specific storage measured was validated with ratio of the specific storage of the sandstone to the storage capacity of the pump used in the permeability test. This finding suggested that newly developed constant flow pump technique with its numerical analysis can be used to effectively obtain specific storage of sedimentary rock for CO2 in supercritical phase.

Sequential streamflow routing (SSR) with control on reliability of meeting energy demand is a common methods for assessing energy potential in practical hydropower projects’ design and operation in Iran. This approach results in developing a reliability – based simulation (RBS) model which is used for design of single-reservoir hydropower projects . Considering the fact that the integrated analysis of the system may lead to design variables and system energy potential which could be different from those obtained by single – reservoir analysis, a multi – reservoir simulation – optimization model is proposed considering the integrated system operations. The core of the model developed is the same as what is used in a single – reservoir RBS model as a simple as a simple and well-know model professional applied hydropower practices .However to determine the reservoir releases in each time step of the simulation model, an iterative single-period linear programming (LP) model is used . The LP model minimize the sum of reservoir releases and/or maximizes the sum of reservoir storages. The application of the above-mentioned models is analyzed in the Khersan hydropower reservoir system located in Iran as the case study. For reliability of meeting energy demand equal to 90% results indicate that the multi-reservoir RBS model proposed increases the system firm energy by 7.9% compared the model which sequentially uses single – reservoir RBS models.

The hydraulic model for the Sava River - Sava HEC-RAS was developed for the section from the border between Slovenia and Croatia up to Belgrade and the major tributaries up to the Sava River backwaters and more. The Sava HEC-RAS is coupled with the Sava HEC-HMS model which output locations match the (lateral) inflow points of the HEC-RAS model.
The model geometry is setup on a high-resolution digital elevation data, based on the Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, surveyed in 2017.
Lateral structures are used within the Sava HEC-RAS to transfer flow from the mainstem model of the Sava River reach to lateral areas adjacent to the Sava River. These lateral areas are represented by storage areas and usually represent areas behind the major levees of the Sava River, retention areas, or tributary backwater areas. Overall, storage areas were used as an efficient and appropriate approach to route flow leaving the Sava River model over and/or through lateral structures to lateral areas throughout the Sava River model extent. In areas where more detailed approaches were necessary, 2D areas were used to represent these lateral areas.
In addition to developing an unsteady flow HEC-RAS model for the Sava River, special analyses of two-dimensional (2D) and levee breach capabilities are also developed and available in the model.
Model is incorporated into the Sava Flood Forecasting and Warning System.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE SANITARY DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF GRABA, MUNICIPALITY OF POLIČNIK, AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEWAGE SYSTEM IN THE SETTLEMENT OF ZEMUNIK DONJI
Subject of the project are construction works on the development of the sanitary drainage system in the residential area of Graba Poličnik and works on the sewage system in the settlement of Zemunik Donji.
The works consist of two groups:
Group 1: Construction of the sanitary drainage system in the residential area of Graba, Municipality of Poličnik.
Group 2: Construction of the sewage system in the settlement of Zemunik Donji – subsystem West 1.
This project envisions the construction of a total of 5.06 km of public drainage network, including 1.88 km in the residential area of Graba in the Poličnik settlement (1.70 km of separate sanitary drainage pipelines and 0.18 km of connecting pipelines) and 3.18 km in Zemunik, Zemunik Donji settlement (2.09 km of fecal gravity collectors and the Smrdelj pumping station with 1.09 km of pressure pipelines). In the construction area of the sewage system, there is already an existing water supply system, which, due to its age and proximity to the planned fecal collectors, could be damaged during construction. Therefore, the project includes the rehabilitation of water pipes at all critical points with a total length of 479.89 m.
The total contract value for both groups is 2.3 million EUR. The project received funding through the implementation of the Water Management Program within the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.


Webby, M.G.; Waugh, J.R. Hydraulic behaviour of the outlet of Lake Wakatipu, Central Otago, New Zealand
Outflows from Lake Wakatipu are normally controlled by the geometry of the gated weir across the outlet completed in 1926 and by the hydraulic characteristics of the Kawarau River, including the delta of the Shotover River, which joins the Kawarau River 3 km downstream of the outlet. On rare occasions, outflow from the lake is reversed when a large flood occurs in the Kawarau catchment and the peak response of Lake Wakatipu lags that of the Shotover River by several days. This paper describes a re-evaluation of the discharge rating for the modified lake outlet that takes account of the reverse flow phenomenon and the gradual drowning of the outlet weir leading up to the occurrence of reverse flow. The revised outlet rating utilises measurements of Lake Wakatipu level (NIWA site no. 75277) and the downstream Kawarau at Frankton river level (NIWA site no. 75263) and is based on standard hydraulic principles of weir behaviour.


The Lukovo Pole Renewable Energy Project (LPREP) on the Korab mountain range in Northwest Macedonia was proposed by JSC ELEM in December 2010. LPREP is part of bigger ELEM Vardar Valle project. LPREP will divert water from the Radika River and its tributaries through three existing Macedonian Hydro Power Plants: “Vrben” (a run-of-river plant upstream of Mavrovo lake), and “Vrutok” and “Raven” (dam-storage plants downstream of the lake). Namely, the water from Korab catchment will be transferred to Lukovo Pole storage and Crn Kamen River via a 20 km long pipe system. The storage will be generated by construction of a 70 m high dam at Lukovo and would have capacity of about 39 million m3. Besides, the LPREP includes construction of new small hydro-power plant Crn Kamen of about 5 MW. Total energy generation from this project is expected to be 160 GWh/year. The LPREP’s main investor JSC ELEM was granted with a World Bank loan. The World Bank explains its involvement in the project due to the importance of increasing Macedonia’s reliance on renewable energy.

BANGKOK, Dec 18 – The salinity level of water in some parts of the Chao Phraya River exceeded the standard for tap water production and agricultural use.
The Royal Irrigation Department speeds up preventing salt water intrusion to protect the ecology system in the upcoming dry season.
High tide last week increased the salinity level in the Chao Phraya River, which exceeded the standard near the estuary.
The standard level of salt concentration in water for tap water production must not exceed 0.5 grammes/litre.
The salinity level of the river at the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority stations at Phra Nangklao Bridge and Nonthaburi Pier, about 60 km. from the estuary were measured at 2.66 grammes/litre and 2.75 grammes/ litre respectively. The salinity level at the Sam Saen station reached 4.04 grammes per litre yesterday, down from 9.47 grammes per litre the day before.
The director general of the Royal Irrigation Department, Thongplew Kongchan said to reduce the salinity level in the Chao Phraya River, water from the Mae Klong River was diverted into canal networks to be released into the Chao Phraya River to prevent saline water intrusion from high tide.
The Bang Pakong River in downstream Chachoengsao province was diverted into Bang Kanak canal during low tide, so local residents can use water for consumption.
Singchai Laomonkonchaisri, senior official of the Provincial Waterworks Authority in Ang Thong province said tap water production operates normally at the moment despite decreasing water level in the Chao Phraya River. However, it plans to handle the drought situation by extending water pump pipelines into the river to prepare for a drop in the water level of the Chao Phraya River.

The Vydra Hydroelectric Power Plant
The importance of the nearby Vchynice-Tetov Navigation Canal was declining after the logging industry was reduced, so other uses were sought. In 1937, the construction of a new hydroelectric power plant called Vydra began and was put into operation two years later. The author of the design was Ing. Karel Kosek, who had already prepared a technical solution for a pumped storage power plant under Černé jezero in the 1920s.
The whole complex actually starts on the navigation canal at Mechov (Mosau), where the intake structure is preserved. From there, water is channelled through an underground conduit (partly in pressure pipes, greater part in a bricked gallery) for a total length of 3.2 kilometres to a storage reservoir near the settlement of Sedlo. The reservoir was built so that the water could be stored here during times of low load on the power grid and then used for power generationduring peak hours. The water is piped from the reservoir to a nearby reinforced concrete tower called the “Water Castle”.
In the event of a turbine failure, the water supply can be shut off remotely from the power plant. The water is then piped underground to the power plant on the banks of the Vydra River. The total gradient is 240 metres and the power plant capacity is 6.4 MW. This and much more can be found in the permanent exhibition, which is open to the general public all year round.

Evolution of ice dam characteristics in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River mainstem
The historical melting ice and hydrological data of the Heilongjiang River mainstem were compiled, and the sliding average and cumulative distance equality data analysis methods were used to analyze the changes in ice dam characteristics in the upstream section of the Heilongjiang River mainstem. The results indicate that the date of break-up the main stream of the Heilongjiang River is gradually advancing, the banked-up water level of ice dam are gradually decreasing, and the scale of ice dam is decreasing, which is related to the interdecadal decrease in temperature. The central position of ice dam is mainly concentrated in the Luogu to Huma River section influenced by tributary ice flow and the Oupu to Huma River section influenced by channel characteristics; ice dam characteristics are not only influenced by thermal, dynamic, and channel characteristics factors, but also by geological structure and permafrost freezing and thawing. The results of the analysis can provide a reference for the study of melting ice in cold regions rivers with similar conditions to the Heilongjiang River basin, as well as the prevention and mitigation strategies for the main stream of the Heilongjiang River.

TIRUCHI: Estimates for the Viswakudi reservoir sanctioned at a cost of Rs.19 crore in Perambalur district has been forwarded to the government and the work on the project is expected to commence this financial year. The reservoir to be built across the Kallar River, between Pachamalai and Sengamalai, in Thondamanthurai village would fulfil a long felt need of the people of the Veppanthattai taluk.
The reservoir would help stabilise irrigation in an area of about 2,478 acres apart from contributing to a substantial improvement in the water table in the surrounding villages, M. Paneerselvam, Executive Engineer, Plan Formulation Division, Public Works Department, Tiruchi, told ‘The Hindu.’ The reservoir would harness the water flow from the hills during the monsoon. The reservoir, to be built with financial assistance from the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund of the NABARD, would have a water storage capacity of 31 million cubic feet and two sluices. The water spread area would be about 43 acres and the storage height of the reservoir would be 9.5 metres. The reservoir would have an “uncontrolled weir” running for about 44 metres allowing for automatic flow of water once it was filled. The total length of the earthen bund around the reservoir would be about 615 metres. New irrigation channels would be created for a total length of about 4,100 metres.
Work on the project is expected to begin once the design approval and other formalities were completed, Mr. Paneerselvam said.

The Yukon government has issued a flood watch for the Yukon River at Carmacks.
In a news release Friday afternoon, the government said the water level in the area is continuing to rise, although at a slower pace than earlier in the week. It said the water level rose 6 cm in the past 24 hours compared to increases of 15 cm over the previous two days.
A flood watch means the water level in a river or lake is rising and may exceed its banks. Adjacent areas may flood.
The release stated the water level is expected to continue to rise over the weekend as four to 10 mm of rain are expected.
"Water levels could rise 80 to 90 cm and exceed peak levels observed in 2021 by as early as June 19," the release stated.
Ross River flood warning and high streamflow advisories still in effect
Also on Friday afternoon, the government said the flood warning issued for the Pelly River at Ross River on June 6 remains in effect.
"Low-lying areas adjacent to the river are currently flooding," the release states.
It said that while the water level at Ross River peaked on June 7 and has been declining over the past two days, the level is expected to rise again, anywhere form 30 to 80 cm above current levels, as rain is forecast for the area over the weekend.
"Rain totals are expected to be highest in the headwaters with localized amounts of up to 30 mm," it states.
The high streamflow advisories issued for both the Stewart River in Mayo and the Yukon River at Dawson City also remain in effect, the government said.


Abstract: In recent years ANN methodology has been effectively used in flood water level prediction model. Moreover most of the works on flood predictions only concentrated on flood model but no prediction on time was proposed. So flood water level prediction is a fresh avenue to embark on in level to give early predictions which is proposed. This work proposed 4 years a head flood level of water prediction using enhanced ENN model for general rivers which can be in any places. So this approach can be applied on any area with any river for flood level of water. The results of actual Elman Neural Network structure indicate with less accuracy so this work extended with enhanced ENN model was introduced. The ENN performance indicates the results which concluded that enhanced ENN which is versatile than the actual ENN framework with significant improvement from the actual ENN framework which can be observed when the enhanced ENN was started.

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) has invited bids to appoint a consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the first phase of the proposed 2,000 megawatt (MW) Sillahalla pumped storage hydro-electric project in the Nilgiris.
The Rs 7,000 crore Sillahalla project will be implemented in two phases by 2022, says a senior Tangedco official. The first phase of the project envisages construction of an upper reservoir across the Sillahalla river with a capacity of 2250 million cubic feet as also an interconnecting tunnel between the proposed dam and the Avalanche-Emerald reservoir.
The 2.75-km-long tunnel will have provision for two-way flow. The official said the consultant to be appointed by the utility would prepare a DPR, provide services to obtain statutory clearances and draft a tender specification for awarding engineering procurement construction contract for the first phase work.
“Once the contract is awarded, the consultant should complete DPR work in three months, after which the bids will be floated for construction of the dam and tunnel,” the official said, adding that they have set a target of completing the first phase of work by 2018-19.
In the second phase, an underground powerhouse with four units of 500 MW each, access tunnel, power transmission and drawal system will be constructed. “The DPR for the second phase will be prepared separately after obtaining all clearances,” the official said, adding that the entire Sillahalla project is expected to be commissioned by 2022.
The Sillahalla dam will act as a balancing reservoir between the Avalanche-Emerald dam and the downstream Pillur dam. It is called so because water from Pillur will be pumped up to the proposed Sillahalla reservoir, when power demand is low, normally at night.
Surplus power generated by various sources, particularly wind power, will be used to pump water to the upper reservoir from the lower one. Water stored in the upper reservoir will be used to generate energy to meet morning and evening peak power demand. It provides flexibility to the state grid for operation.
The Sillahalla project will come in handy to harness the full potential of wind power in the state which otherwise goes untapped during the peak wind season. At present, grid managers back down windmills if power demand is low, thereby leaving wind power untapped....

LIFT CHECK & SWING CHECK VALVES MANUFACTURER
Lift check valve:
The lift check valve is similar to a globe valve, where the disc is in the form of a ball or piston. Lift check valves are useful in high pressure and pipelines with upward flow. Check valves are automatic which opens in forwarding flow and closes with reverse flow.
The pressure passing through a flow opens the valve, while any reversal of flow closes the valve. There are types of check valves operates that vary depending on the mechanism. A disc is connected in the valve which allows the flow in the forward direction and returns to the valve when the flow is stopped to prevent backflow.

A recently completed stormwater improvement project will hopefully lead to less flooding for residents in an area on Birch Point, on the northern tip of Birch Bay.
The $197,234 project, which came in about $139,000 under budget, was the first major stormwater improvement project spearheaded by the Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management (BBWARM) district. The project replaced a 50-year-old stormwater system in the Charel Terrace community that stretched from the intersection of Semiahmoo and Charel Drives to the beach.
The project replaced most of the area’s aging stormwater pipes and constructed specialized drainage ditches called bioswales along some of the area’s roads.The improved stormwater system is designed to have more capacity than will likely be needed in the near future, county stormwater engineer Kraig Olason said.
The combination of new pipe and bioswales will be able to handle the stormwater that would flow through the area if the stormwater retention pond across Semiahmoo Drive from the Charel Terrace development were not there. Heavy rains and clogged drainage pipes have historically overwhelmed the pond and caused flooding in the area.
The construction project is part of an ongoing effort by BBWARM’s to improve stormwater systems in a number of areas in Birch Bay. County staff are continuing with the design and construction of stormwater improvement projects for the Cottonwood Beach area and Roger’s Slough.


Xiluodu Dam, Jinsha River, China
The Xiluodu double-curvature arch dam is being built by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGPC). It will be the second largest dam in China, next only to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in terms of size, construction cost and generating capacity.
The new dam is being constructed in the lower Jinsha River, which is a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The dam will be located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province.
Construction of the CNY50.34bn ($6.2bn) dam project began in December 2005, with the concreting commencing in 2008. The dam is expected to be ready by 2014.
With a reservoir capacity of 12.67 billion cubic metres and flood control capacity of 4.65 billion cubic metres, the Xiluodu Dam along with the TGD, will be capable of preventing floods up to 4.6 billion cubic metres in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze.
Purpose of the Xiluodu Dam project
The Xiluodu Dam will alleviate the control of flooding on the Yangtze River, apart from generating power. It will also help in flood prevention, sediment control and navigation improvement.
The new dam will complement the TGD and ease the sediment collection in the latter's reservoir. The navigation system downstream will also be improved.
The dam is being built as part of the China West Development Strategy, which aims to boost the economy of six provinces, five autonomous regions and one municipality in Western China.
CTGPC is currently constructing three other dams: Xiangjiaba, Baihetan and Wudongde, all of which are also located on the Jinsha River.
Details of the Chinese dam
The overall elevation of the dam crest will be 600m, with the concrete double-curvature arch dam being 285.5m high and 700m long. Up to 16.72 cubic metres of concrete are expected to be used for constructing the dam.
The dam will consist of seven surface spillways and eight outlets. There will be four overflow tunnels, two each on the left and right banks. The reservoir capacity will be about 12.67 billion cubic metres, out of which 4.65 billion cubic metres will be utilised for flood control.
The dam will generate power from two underground power stations, with one station located on the right bank and the other on the left. The two power stations will be equipped with nine turbines each with an overall power generation capacity of 12.6GW.
The Jinsha River was dammed using five control gates in November 2007, with the area of the dammed part measuring 47m wide and the flow of water at seven metres per second. Four of the five control gates weigh 1,200t each, while one control gate weighs 1,600t.
The construction of the dam is being carried out using belt conveyors, crawler tractors, hydraulic excavators, rock trucks and wheel loaders.
Problems faced by CTGPC
The construction of Xiluodu Dam began in December 2005, after being halted temporarily by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) in January 2005 due to the lack of a satisfactory environmental impact assessment. The project site, located in a rare fish reserve and earthquake prone area, required preservation measures to get the permit for construction.
In 2009 it was decided that the dam's height should be increased to 285.5m, which resulted in design changes and escalated the construction cost by about $250m. It also required the generation of about CNY10m in unauthorised funds.
The project is said to have relocated about 7,300 people and is expected to displace about 50,000 people in the long run.
Contractors and finances behind Xiluodu Dam
The dam's design was provided by the Chengdu Hydroelectric Investigation Design & Research Institute of State Power Company (CHIDI). Ansys played crucial roles in studying the dam's feasibility.
The financiers for the project included Yangtze Power, China Development Bank (CDB) and China Construction Bank.
Citic Heavy Machinery supplied the headstock gears used for operating the gates at the dammed area of Jinsha River, while Vacon provided 20 NXP drive units for powering the headstock gears.
Belt conveyors for the laying of concrete were supplied by Putzmeister. The belt conveyer used for the project is the Telebelt TB 110G.
By the beginning of June 2006, Chongqing's wastewater project had gained both greater urgency with the early completion of the construction phase of the controversial Three Gorges Dam and a welcome boost from the signing of a new agreement between the city and Suez.
Jiangsu province is one of the fastest developing regions of China and the rapid expansion of Zhang Jia Gang has outstripped the relatively young city's water treatment provision.
