	Songhua River Basin Water Quality and Pollution Control Management : P.R.C. [33177-03] - ADB.org
		It is one of the seven major river basins of China and is the third longest in the PRC after the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, covering a territory of some 557,000 km2 within the Provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
		The Songhua River is seriously polluted and is now acknowledged by the State Environmental Protection Agency as being one of the four most polluted basins in the PRC; with the levels of pollution recognized as impairing both natural resources and economic development within the region.
		The overall goal of the TA is to improve water quality in the Songhua River, strengthen the capacity of the Government for policy analysis and pollution control management, and assist the Government in developing a long-term vision for pollution control in the Songhua River Basin.

	SAVE International: Resources
		The dam is likely to reduce groundwater recharge to the alluvial valley east of the Kao-ping River, west of the mountain range, and south of the present course of the Ai-liao River.
		Flow in the Ai-liao River (and thus groundwater recharge) would be reduced by Ma-chia Dam because water would be diverted from the reservoir by a pipe.
		The EIS stated that recharge rate through river bed would actually be greater in the early phase of the operation and that reduced recharge could be compensated by reduced groundwater demand downstream because of the availability of water from the reservoir (MOEA 1997, p.8-23).

	The Economic History of Manchuria
		The core area of the historic Manchuria (the land of the Manchu's) was the lowland plain enclosed by mountains to the west, north and east but open to the sea on the south.
		The northern portion of this plain is drained by the Nanjiang (South River) and the Sungari River, a tributary of the Amur River (Heilongjiang: Black Dragon River).
		Although this plain was the core area of Manchu territory, the Manchus historical contolled a portion of northern Korea and the coastal area where the Russian city of Vladivostok (eastern fortress) is located.

	AAS Abstracts: China Session 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		This paper traces the relationship between changes in the natural environment and human history in the West Liao River Basin (located in what is now southeastern Inner Mongolia) during the past 10,000 years.
		The prehistoric age of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene has been reconstructed on the basis of paleological and archaeological evidence and set in the broad context of China's northern tier.
		The use of written records confers a higher resolution to the image of the West Liao Basin and neighboring Keerqin Sandland during the historic era, from around 500 BC to the middle of the twentieth century.

		The region then fell successively under the domination of the Khitan Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen Jin Dynasty, and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
		During the Qing Dynasty much of the area was under the control of the General of Jilin, whose area of control extended to the Sea of Japan to encompass much of what is Russia's Primorsky Krai today.
		Jilin is drained by the Yalu and Tumen Rivers in the extreme southwest (which together form the border between China and North Korea), by tributaries of the Liao River along the southern border, and by the Songhua and Nen rivers, both eventually flowing into the Amur.

	China names nine new Ramsar sites for World Wetlands Day
		The water outlet of the lake is connected to the Jinsha River with major hydrological functions of flood control, storage and water balance in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
		As a biodiversity 'hotspot', Lashihai attracts 200-300 tourists daily particularly for birdwatching and horse-riding; major protection measures include a ban on and inspection of fishing, poaching and hunting, but a potential threat for the lake ecosystem is increasing unplanned tourism.
		The estuary of the Liao River at Liaodong Bay in northeastern China, the site includes "the essential part of the world's largest reed marsh (Phragmites communis)", a large area of Suaeda community, and shallow sea.

	World Bank Approves 100-Million-Dollar Loan to China
		The World Bank approved a loan of 100 million U.S. dollars on Tuesday to assist the environmental recovery of the Liao River Basin (LRB) in China's northeast province of Liaoning.
		The project will improve the environment in the LRB by providing facilities for collection and treatment of wastewater, establishing municipal utilities capable of managing these facilities, upgrading basin-wide water quality management and monitoring capabilities, and providing technical assistance and training, the World Bank said.
		This will be achieved by regulating and reducing pollution from industries, establishing wastewater treatment works in all cities in the river basin, improving collection and disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment plants, protecting water used for agriculture and aquaculture, and improving water quality in the Bohai Sea.

	Korea to 1875 by Sanderson Beck
		The Puyo tribe living along the Sungari River in Manchuria had their chief recognized as a wang (king) by the Chinese in 49 CE, and Koguryo developed into a state during the long reign of Taejo that began four years later.
		Koguryo encroached on the Chinese empire by crossing the Liao River in 598, and after five years of preparation in 612 Sui emperor Yang Di sent six armies reported to have a total of 1,133,800 soldiers.
		Four years later the Liao army crossed the frontier again; but a reorganized Koryo army decisively defeated them, and only a few Liao troops survived to return home the next year.
