A total of 6,092 sewage points with a daily discharge of 300 metric tonnes or an annual discharge of 100,000 tonnes will be connected to the network, China Daily reported.
Discharge points currently without proper monitoring systems will be upgraded, it added, citing a statement from the Yangtze River Water Resources Commission.
The commission and Taihu Lake Basin Authority jointly launched a month-long inspection over more than 8,800 discharge locations in 887 counties in the area in 2017.
Data from the commission showed about 35.3 billion tonnes of waste sewage water were discharged into the basin in 2016, up 1.9 percent from a year ago.
