(BEIJING, Jan. 19) -- Beijing authorities will establish a real-time monitoring system to check the quality of river and lake waters and will make public the results quarterly.

The water quality report will be released through media including websites of Municipal Water Authority and Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, and a hotline will be ready for citizens to report any pollution cases, Director of the Municipal Water Authority Jiao Zhizhong told Beijing Daily.

Jiao said in 2007, water supply from Miyun Reservoir to rivers and lakes in urban central area and Olympic central area will be increased and the city will construct another five sewage treatment plants with an aim to increase daily treatment capacity to 2.68 million cubic meters, about 95 percent of the city's waste water to be treated.

The city plans to build another four water recycling plants in 2007, raising the use of recycled water to 480 million cubic meters, up 120 million cubic meters from 2006, Jiao said.
