Water Pollution Control Measures and Test Reporting Management Regulations Article 51

Where enterprises or sewage systems take water from water bodies for cooling or circulations purpose and the water they take is non-contact cooling water, such water may be directly discharged into the surface water body in the original water inflow area if all the water quality items, except for the water temperature and hydrogen ion concentration indexes, exceed the effluent standard, though they do not exceed the water inflow standard.
