SHIJIAZHUANG, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- A total of 28.97
million farmers in China got away from drinking unhealthy water in 2006 thanks
to the government's heavy investment, Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng
said Saturday.
The central government injected six billion yuan last year, four billion yuan more than that in 2005, to prevent
farmers from drinking water containing excessive fluorin and arsenic and bitter
salty water, and people in snail-fever-hit areas had access to safe drinking
water, Wang told a national conference in Qinhuangdao of Hebei Province attended
by officials in charge of water resources.
Figures from the ministry showed there were 323
million rural people who suffered from unclean or unhealthy drinking water at
the end of 2004.
Contaminated underground water, bitter salty water
and water polluted by excessive fluorin and arsenic are three major threats to
the health of Chinese farmers.
To provide safe drinking water for farmers has been
put as a priority by the ministry since 2004.
