core reading
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to improve the level of environmental infrastructure construction and promote the improvement of urban and rural living environment.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all regions and departments have steadily promoted the improvement of the rural living environment and carried out the management of the rural water environment.
At present, more than 95% of the villages in the country have carried out clean-up operations, and more than 900,000 village-level river and lake chiefs and river patrolmen have played an active role, and the appearance of rural rivers and lakes has continued to improve.
Qingshui Stream meanders into the Jialing River.
The place where the two waters meet is the patrol area of Jiang Shijia, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jinrong Community, Shapingba District, Chongqing and village-level river chief.
"The water flows support each other here, and floating objects such as garbage and weeds are easy to accumulate. When patrolling the river, you should pay special attention to it and deal with it in time. After a year, we can clean up more than 10 tons of garbage in the river."
Cleaning up garbage, reporting clues, applying for projects... Jiang Shijia was very busy. "With the village-level river chief, the river in front of the house can be managed well by someone. The water is clear and the banks are green, and everyone will live more comfortably."
Every river and every lake is taken care of.
Since the full implementation of the river and lake chief system, more than 1.2 million river and lake chiefs at the five levels in the provinces, cities, counties and villages across the country have taken up their posts, among which there are more than 900,000 river and lake chiefs (including river guards) at the village level. The interlocking chain of responsibility promotes the significant improvement of the rural water ecological environment.
Responsibility for water conservation, the environment of rural rivers and lakes is improving
The river is still flowing, the vegetation is lush, and Meilin Village, Yaqueling Town, Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province, is picturesque.
Village-level river chief Chen Xianbin walked along the river and inspected carefully, "Every day I go out, I go to the river to take a look."
"Although the Dunzi River is small, it leads to the Yangtze River, and we must guard the 'responsibility field'." Since serving as the village-level river chief in 2015, Chen Xianbin has figured out the door a little bit, "There are many bubbles in the spray, indicating that the oxygen content of the water is good. Sewage outlets in the grass should be seen and heard more. Water conservancy facilities such as rolling dams and flood gates must be 'checked' on time."
When the river chief takes up his post, it is his responsibility to keep the water.
"In the past, sewage was discharged directly, garbage was thrown around, and the river water was dirty and smelly, and the villagers took a detour." Chen Xianbin recalled, "The water was released from the upstream reservoir to flush the sewage, and the water surface returned to its original appearance in a few days. If the digging is not clean, the effect is not satisfactory.”
If there is a problem, find the river chief.
"Districts, townships, and villages set up three-level river and lake chiefs to jointly manage water conservancy, ecological environment, agriculture and rural areas. Shang Sang, full-time deputy director of the River and Lake Chief System Office, introduced.
At present, Yiling District has set up 36 district-level river and lake chiefs, 54 town-level river and lake chiefs, and 208 village-level river and lake chiefs.
With a team and funds, governance has been significantly increased.
Chen Xianbin felt deeply, "The river channel has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated, the toilet renovation has been basically completed, the sewage ditch has been upgraded to a sewage collection pipe network, and 90% of the domestic sewage has been effectively treated." Chen Xianbin said, "After the thorny problem was reported, there was a response on the same day." At present, the water quality of Dunzi River has changed from inferior class V to class III.
Tian Shengju, a villager of Meilin Village, saw the changes in Dunzi River: "The scenery has changed for the better, and all the villagers come to the river for walks and square dances."
"Although most of the rural rivers and lakes are small and micro water bodies, they undertake various functions such as irrigation, water supply and ecological conservation, and play an important role in ensuring food security and helping rural revitalization. The 'tip' difficulty of water protection and governance." Wu Haibing, director of the River and Lake Chief System Work Division of the River and Lake Management Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced.
Water control requires "smart" water.
Mobile phones and drones have become new tools for river patrols, making river patrols more convenient and more efficient in governance.
In Dongtian Village, Ganxian District, Jiangxi Province, the Dongtian River passes around the village.
"The mobile phone patrol the river has helped a lot." Cheng Zhongzheng, secretary of the village party branch and village-level river chief, said, "Open the 'River Palm Cloud' mobile phone software, sign in and locate, and the footsteps of the river patrol can be recorded in real time. Take a pat if you find a problem. Upload it, don’t go out for small things, and people take care of big things.”
"We solve the problem of village-level river chiefs posting online, and we solve them precisely, without leaving any dead ends in management and protection." Deng Yi, executive deputy director of the Ganxian District River Chiefs Office, introduced.
A series of new technologies have been widely used, giving the river chief "sightly ears" and "clairvoyance".
The district has built a smart river chief platform and installed video surveillance. At present, there are 276 village (residential) river chiefs and 176 inspectors or special managers in the district.
Powered by technology, Hehuchang realizes "cloud" in-line patrol and online management.
All localities have explored to build a three-dimensional supervision network of "sky, sky, ground and people", and initially realized the intelligent supervision and inspection of rivers and lakes of "satellite remote sensing + drone + video surveillance + mobile phone software".
Control water and shore, make Shuimei villages more livable
The gurgling river flows through the fields, and the green grass and trees are reflected in the clear water.
"The water has become clear, the banks have turned green, and the rivers and lakes have become the scenery of the village." Shao Jian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Chengzihu Community, Luji Town, Siyang County, Jiangsu Province, said with emotion.
Once upon a time, water quality degradation plagued water towns.
"The call for pollution control is loud, and we have to make great efforts to solve it." Shao Jian said.
Desilting, connecting the water system, and treating sewage, a set of combined fists makes the river flow smoothly and the water is always clear.
"The original dirty and smelly bottom mud was removed, and there was a pump every 50 meters in the river channel. The scene of gurgling water, bottomless water, and swimming fish and fine rocks came back." Shao Jian counted the changes.
Domestic sewage collection and treatment is a difficult problem.
"In the past, a set of pipe network was connected to the end, and the rainwater and sewage flowed together. Now, we have carried out the transformation of rainwater and sewage diversion, and built a treatment plant, so that the sewage can be radically treated." Shao Jian introduced.
There are many rivers and lakes in Siyang County, and the water network is intertwined. In order to protect the water environment, the local area takes the river and lake chief system as the starting point, and makes every effort to promote river dredging, river pollution control, and river bank greening to create a happy river and lake.
Since the beginning of this year, the county and township-level river and lake chiefs have patrolled the river more than 3,000 times, and the village-level river and lake chiefs have patrolled the river more than 8,200 times.
At present, 35 rivers have been systematically treated, more than 137 kilometers of rivers have been treated, and more than 100 kilometers of rivers have been dredged.
The problem is in the water, the roots are on the shore.
The village-level rivers and lakes have long been controlled by water and banks, and the protection of rural rivers and lakes and the improvement of the living environment have been coordinated to create more beautiful villages where people and water are harmonious.
The Zhinv River flows through Sanzuolou Village, Taitou Town, Shouguang City, Shandong Province.
"The Zhinv River has become a waterline for the villagers. People who sing and dance come here at night, and the riverside is lively," said Zhang Jiguang, secretary of the village party branch and village-level river chief.
The beauty of the Zhinv River is not easy to come by.
"In the past, when the sewage flowed into the river, and the garbage was dumped by the river, the house was clean, but the river became dirty." Zhang Jiguang said that when he became the river chief, his mind opened up.
Combined with the improvement of the living environment, the improvement of water and toilets, garbage disposal, and improvement of village appearance will be carried out in one hand, and water control, shore management, and village management will be promoted in one.
"Why did garbage pile up by the river in the past, or not because there was no land to dump it? In recent years, with the support of the city, there have been cleaners in the village, trash cans have been placed on the village roads, and professional cleaning companies have regularly cleaned and transported garbage, and garbage is no longer there. Landing." Zhang Jiguang introduced, "Installing street lights, laying green belts, and repairing small squares will make the Zhinv River's 'look' higher."
"I can see the aquatic plants through the river, the fish has increased, and the egrets that have disappeared for many years have returned." During his daily river patrol, Zhang Jiguang was always delighted to discover the new changes in the Zhinv River.
Every beautiful village is more livable.
In the past 10 years, the penetration rate of sanitary toilets in rural areas has exceeded 70%, the level of domestic waste and sewage treatment has been significantly improved, and the living environment has been significantly improved.
In 2021, the Ministry of Water Resources will basically complete the construction of the first batch of 55 pilot counties of Shuimei villages, control more than 3,800 kilometers of rural rivers, more than 1,300 lakes and ponds, and benefit more than 3,300 villages.
Promoting business and enriching the people, good ecology brings good industry
The small river bends and the clear water gurgles, a scenic line breeds an industrial belt.
In Handan, Hebei Province, the Fuyang River flows rapidly.
The upper reaches of Yiquan Lake, the water and the sky are the same color.
"Everyone's livelihood has been moved from the water to the shore, the river has become beautiful, and people have become rich." Sun Chao, a villager in Xiazhuangdian Village, Lucunying Township, Cixian County, said, "Admiring the beautiful scenery, tasting fresh rivers, and the business of fishing is booming. At that time, I can serve fifty tables a day.”
Sun Chao witnessed the changes of the Fuyang River. "In the past, I made money by raising fish in cages, but the water quality of the river was getting worse and worse."
"Cleaning the cages, treating sewage, and beautifying the environment, with the progress of the governance, the Fuyang River in Qingling Lingling has returned." Wang Jinzhu, secretary of the Party branch of Xiazhuangdian Village and village-level river chief, said that there is a new way of eating water by relying on water. , Open B&Bs, and hold fishing houses, many people eat "ecological meals".
Taking the water as the scenery and the scenery prospering.
Ci County integrates water ecological management and water landscape creation with water culture, folk industry, and tourism development. In 2021, the county will receive more than 7 million tourists.
Handan vigorously implemented the ecological restoration of the entire Fuyang River, and carried out environmental beautification for 145 villages along the line.
A river and clear water drive the development along the line.
In the Fengfeng mining area at the source, a number of characteristic industries such as fresh cut flowers and Chinese herbal medicine flourish along the river.
In Yongnian District in the middle reaches, the Hediding Road was completed, and the transportation of green vegetables is more convenient.
In the downstream Quzhou County, good water "watered" the succulent plant industry, and more than 30 seedling enterprises have grown to cultivate more than 800 million seedlings per year.
"Fuyang River is a green ecological belt, as well as a splendid cultural belt and a colorful tourism belt. While strengthening governance, we have improved the taste of scenic spots, beautified the coastal scenery, optimized the industrial structure, and formed a tourist attraction with historical sites, navigational sightseeing, forest and fruit trees. The riverside industries, such as picking and characteristic agriculture, make the ecological river a rich river," said Hou Youmin, director of the Handan Water Conservancy Bureau.
Clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.
Guangxi Beihai City strives to achieve full coverage of river lengths, no blind spots in responsibility, and implement water system connectivity and water-beautiful rural construction. The good water environment provides strong support for ecological agriculture and rural tourism.
Hanzhong City, Shaanxi promotes the in-depth integration of the river and lake long system with global tourism and cultural construction, and builds ecological towns along the Han River and Jialing River, so that the ecological advantages of rivers and lakes can be gradually transformed into economic development advantages.
Wu Haibing introduced that rural rivers and lakes play an important role in rural ecological environmental protection and rural industrial development.
Village-level river and lake chiefs must coordinate water resources, water environment, and water ecological governance, and bring in a steady stream of "ecological water" and "development water" for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
