On August 30, the second publicity event of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference "Forge ahead in a new era, 100 members said" was held in Beijing. E Jingping, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee, and former minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced at the meeting. The total amount of water transported in the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project exceeded 56 billion cubic meters, and the direct beneficiary population reached 150 million people.
The Yangtze River water in the urban area of Beijing has accounted for more than 75% of the tap water supply, and the water supply safety guarantee factor has been raised from 1.0 to 1.2. The water storage capacity of Miyun Reservoir has repeatedly hit a record high.
The water supply in the main urban area of Tianjin is almost entirely from the Yangtze River.
More than ten provincial cities in Henan use the water from the Yangtze River, and the central city of Zhengzhou basically bid farewell to the history of drinking water from the Yellow River.
