Abstract

In 1994, the Chinese central government took on the Herculean task of cleaning up the Huai River basin. After 10 years, the effort was declared a success. Then a devastating flood struck, washing record levels of polluted water downstream and rapidly eroding the public's trust. What went wrong?
