China Huadian Corporation, one of the country's major power generators, said it had completed a new project in Zou County of the eastern Shandong province to reclaim water that can satisfy the daily water demand of 470,000 people.

　　The water rec laiming facility was designed to treat 4,200 tons of wastewater per hour, including the industrial wastewater from the power plant and the urban sewage.

　　The whole system, the largest of its kind in the country, is expected to produce 12 million tons of reclaimed water every year after it is put into operation.

　　The power generating sector is among the six major industries that have long been blamed for heavy pollution to the environment.
