The Central Route of South-to-North Water Transfer provides 26.8 bn cubic meters

Provincial Water Conservancy Department held a press conference on the 25 day. The water diversion project of the south to North Water Diversion Project will soon be completed for five years. Up to now, the project has accumulated 26 billion 800 million cubic meters of water to the north, and the water quality of the water diversion project has been stabilized above class II, ensuring the water quality safety from "to the gate, from the middle line to the faucet", and improving the water resources and water ring in the water area. The carrying capacity of the environment.

Liu Wenping, member of the Party committee of Hubei Provincial Water Resources Department, said that since the water diversion project of the south to North Water Diversion Project was formally launched in December 12, 2014, the water supply has been continuously safe for about 1700 days. The allocation of water resources along the line has been further optimized, playing an important role in ensuring water safety, restoring water ecology, improving water environment, and optimizing water allocation. The project improves the water supply pattern in the receiving area and becomes one of the main water sources in the receiving area. The "south water" accounts for 73% of the tap water supply; the residents in 14 districts all drink the "south water"; the 37 cities and counties in the water receiving area are all through the water, and more than 80% of the tap water in the center area is "south water"; and 80 cities and counties have used the "south water".

Benefited from the south to North Water Diversion Project, and the water diversion areas such as the "Qi" and "Qi" accelerated the replacement of the groundwater from the south to North Water Diversion Project. The market has curbed the downward trend of groundwater level for many years, and the groundwater level around the emergency water source area has risen 11.2 meters. According to the monitoring data at the end of June this year, the groundwater in Beijing plain area increased by 3.16 meters compared with the same period in 2015.

Liu Wenping said that as an ecological project, the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer also plays an important role. For two consecutive years, the project has implemented ecological water recharge to the water receiving areas along the river, with a total recharge of 1.16 billion cubic meters. The groundwater level along the project has obviously risen, and the ecological and water quality of rivers and lakes have also been improved. In the 5 km range along the 9 rivers after the replenishment of Hebei, the shallow groundwater level increased by 0.49 meters, and 12 natural rivers resumed stage by stage. Baiyangdian was upgraded to category II by the inferior class V before replenishment.
