The Yangtze River, China's longest waterway, has continued its path towards environmental sustainability, achieving Grade II water quality for the fourth consecutive year in 2023. This marks the second-highest level in China's five-tier water quality system, as reported by an official from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
The ongoing efforts to preserve and protect the Yangtze River reflect China's commitment to environmental stewardship and addressing water pollution. Improved water quality not only benefits the ecosystem but also enhances the livelihoods of millions who depend on the river for agriculture, industry, and daily life.
