During the meeting Li was keen to note the importance of the Wuxi-based Taihu Lake plant.
"The treatment project is a landmark part of our province's attempt at positive ecological construction. The process of treating the lake began more than 10 years ago in 2007 and the water quality in Taihu Lake has great improved, but we still face serious challenges."
Li urged the local government to apply problem-oriented solutions to prevent any deterioration in the water quality.
Li Xiaoming announced a series of measures that have already been implemented since the turn of the year.
"The next stage will see the Wuxi government implement contingency plans to safeguard Taihu Lake according to the requirements discussed in this meeting."
A new Taihu Lake treatment program will pay special attention to controlling the outbreak of algae blooms as well as seeking to curtail nitrogen and phosphorus pollution and carry out the construction of the key water projects.
