Chinanews.com, Lanzhou, November 27 (Liu Xuemei and Du Ping) The Huangshui River in early winter was clear and wild ducks hunted in groups.
After bidding farewell to the "single fight", the Huangshui Bridge section of the Huangshui River now meets the national Class III water quality standards, and the water quality is in good condition.
"The improvement of the water quality of the largest tributary of the upper reaches of the Yellow River has also greatly improved the water quality of the Yellow River basin." said Wang Wenjiang, deputy captain of the comprehensive administrative law enforcement team for ecological and environmental protection in Honggu District, Lanzhou City.
Huangshui River and Datong River are the most eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecological barrier. The lower reaches are important industrial and agricultural production bases in Qinghai Province and Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. There are more than 20 large and medium-sized industrial and mining enterprises. The lower valley area is located in Lanzhou. The western city group is located at the junction of Gansu and Qinghai provinces. Due to the scattered investment in ecological environment management and the lack of unified planning, the current situation of partial improvement of the ecological environment and poor overall area has been formed.

Wang Wenjiang said, “As a boundary river, when the upstream water is the worst, it reaches the five-class water quality standard.” In recent years, through regional joint prevention and control, departmental coordination and linkage, and territorial supervision and management mechanisms, Honggu District and Qinghai Province across the river Minhe Hui and Tu Autonomous Counties work together to strengthen environmental supervision during the dry season in the Honggu section of the Huangshui River, rectify illegal pollutant discharge units, and ensure water quality safety.
Focusing on the ecological environment protection and management of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and realizing the theme of high-quality development of the regional ecological environment and regional economic and social development in the Honggu section of the Huangshui River, Honggu District proposed an ecological protection plan for the lower reaches of the Huangshui River to coordinate the ecological development in the basin. The main line of protection, environmental restoration and high-quality economic and social development, combined with the foundation of local social and economic development, integrates a series of ecological environment elements such as soil, water resources, woodland, grassland, mining environment, geological disasters and meteorological disasters, and focuses on protection and governance Systematic, holistic, synergistic, and continuous, plan engineering projects to comprehensively solve the ecological environment problems in the downstream areas.
Zhu Yu, deputy director of the Honggu Branch of the Lanzhou Ecological Environment Bureau, said that with the goal of ecological protection of the river basin, breaking the division of administrative regions, localities and enterprises, setting up a cross-regional joint monitoring team and law enforcement inspection team to deal with the Honggu District and the Huangshui River Basin. The key water quality monitoring sections and key pollution sources within the jurisdiction of Minhe County carry out encrypted water quality monitoring to ensure the safety of the water quality of the Huangshui River section; conduct joint inspections of key industrial enterprises, key environmental risk sources, hydropower stations and sewage treatment plants in the upper and lower reaches of the Huangshui River Basin, Investigate and punish all types of illegal sewage discharge.
For environmental pollution problems that cannot be accomplished unilaterally across regions, exchange information in a timely manner, activate joint prevention and control mechanisms, and jointly take emergency measures.

Wang Wenjiang said that the governments, environmental protection, water affairs and other departments of the two places have formed a joint force to unify the implementation standards through regional joint prevention and control. Now the water quality of both inbound and outbound is the same standard, and water quality can be assessed through this standard. Improve the situation.
After the enhancement of joint prevention and control and coordination capabilities, all the places that used to be illegally discharged and disorderly discharged have been eliminated. The water quality in the Huangshui River Basin has been much better. Since supervision, there has not been a single illegal discharge in the territory.
"Eating upstream water should ensure the domestic water for downstream residents." said Sun Jianhai, director of the Honggu District Water Supply and Drainage Service Center.
