Lax law enforcement and shortage of funds are making situation worse

Part of the Danjiangkou Reservoir, a major water source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, is heavily polluted and needs urgent treatment, according to a report by the country's top advisory body.

Lax enforcement of environmental laws and a shortage of funds are making the situation worse, said an investigation report by the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference released on Wednesday.
