Deqing county in Huzhou was recently designated as a demonstration county for ecological civilization by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, according to a list released by the ministry on Nov 14.

A total of 84 counties and districts are on the list, among which eight are in Zhejiang province, including Deqing.

In recent years, under the guidance of the "Two Mountains" theory, the county has been dedicated to the environment management and the construction of ecological civilization.

The county has developed its own systems for wastewater treatment and garbage sorting, as well as issued a series of pollution management regulations.

In 2013, the county's government established an office to control air pollution. Since then, the county's rate of good air quality has increased by 13.8 percentage points.
