CHINA: July 24, 2008


A cameraman is seen filming through a glass tube containing recycled water during an official visit to the Qing River Sewage Treatment Plant which supplies water to the Olympic Lake in the Olympic Green area.


The plant is part of Beijing's Olympic recycling water programme, that officials claim now recycles 52 percent of all the city's waste water.

The programme is part of the $40 billion yuan (US$5.8 billion) upgrade to the city's infrastructure to host the Olympic Games in August.
