In China, water resources shortage, together with severe water pollution, is becoming the bottleneck of continuing development and economic growth. In many cities, water supply and drainage including sewage treatment are an indispensable part of each cities infrastructure and environmental construction in order to attract investments. In the meanwhile, the infrastructure of water supply and water treatment is an important sign of the completion of city facilities, vigor and prosperity. In the past few years, the local governments have adopted aggressive financing policies to encourage infrastructure construction including water supply and drainage, which resulted in faster development and more significant growth of municipal supplied water and waste water treatment. From 1998 to 2002, China has invested a total of approximately US$10 billion in city water supply, of which approximately $7.25 billion went to waste water treatment, and has added 286 waste water treatment facilities. From 2001 to 2002, the fixed assets invested totaled $6 billion for waste water treatment, increased at an annual rate of 5.72% for waste water treatment, compared with the year 2000. Obviously, China has attached great importance to waste water treatment. Lawrence Wang, CEO of Dragon Venture and General Manager of Yazheng, commented, " We are very pleased to sign three contracts that demonstrate the excellence of our software system that was developed by our own software engineers. The importance of water preservation to mankind will become a precious commodity which determines the degree of wealth of a nation. Likewise, how a nation treats its water resources will decide its rise and decline. Industry authorities believe that nations that give water treatment first priority will gain a competitive advantage. City water supply and treatment is a tough and challenging task that has become an increasingly important component of a municipality's development. Given the support of the government authorities, we believe this industry offers tremendous development potential. We believe our Company will benefit from the significant investment by public funding for years to come."
