Jiao Zhizhong, the head of the Beijing Water Authority, is confident its water quality will meet or surpass Olympic water quality standards in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Five new sewage treatment plants will be installed this year.
Jiao Zhizhong said that 80% homes have water-saving equipment installed, and that farms are irrigating more conservatively.
When the Olympics begin in August 2008, Beijing will receive an extra 79 million gallons of water from the nearby Hebei province.
