WATER has returned to a drinkable level in a scenic lake in southwest China's Yunnan Province that had been polluted with arsenic in 2008.
Yangzonghai Lake, near the provincial capital of Kunming, has returned to Grade Three after years of treating the pollution, said Xiao Ding, vice director of the Kunming Environmental Protection Bureau.
Over the past four years, local authorities have applied a slew of measures to restore water quality in the lake, including adding purifiers to the water and blocking factory dumping, Xiao said.
The pollution was caused by a local chemical company. Three of its executives were jailed and 12 officials, including a vice mayor of Yuxi, were sacked in the case.
