	Over-exploitation of river worsens ecological environment
		The ecological environment of a key Chinese river winding through 26 large and medium-sized cities is worsening due to the excessive exploitation of water resources, a regional water conservancy authority said on Sunday.
		The Haihe River valley, with an area of 320,000 square kilometers, covers Beijing and Tianjin municipalities and the provinces and regions of Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Inner Mongolia.
		The water resource in the river has been overused to adapt to the growing population and rapid economic development along the river, according to the Haihe River Water Conservancy Committee under the Ministry of Water Resources.

		The Hai River, part of the great Haihe River system, the largest in northern China, cuts through the center of Tianjin and connects the city to its ocean port 70 kilometers (43 mi) southeast and to Beijing 137 kilometers (85 mi) northwest.
		Along this stretch of the river is a rich heritage of colonial architecture—mostly detached villa-style merchant houses—found in the former French, British, and German concessions on the southwest bank.
		The average width of public land fronting the river, defining the edge of the green spine, is 50 meters (164 ft) on each bank.
