Shanghai set to build new ecological water networks
Print Edition
SHANGHAI is to build new ecological water networks across the city to enhance the overall water environment, the water bureau said yesterday, World Water Day.
To raise awareness of the water environment, the importance of building a clean water ecosystem is being emphasized, and it is included in the city’s five-year development plan.
There are about 47,000 creeks running through the city. The new networks mean they will be managed more systematically by each urban district and each town in rural areas.
Song Jianfeng, director of the bureau’s agriculture and water department, said the new approach is inspired by experiences of other regions in China such as Hubei and Jiangsu provinces.
“We are not early on this because unlike the topography of other cities in China, the basin of Shanghai is relatively flat,” explained Song. “But the holistic method can be conducive for a better environment.”
Rather than focusing on cleaning one creek, for example, the new measures seek to link water channels within the area for a better ecosystem. Greenery, riverbanks and drainage systems will be extensively ramped up.
To protect the local environment, multiple goals have been set in terms of water resource treatment, green development, the building of scenic areas and rural revitalization. New standards for the evaluation of water and soil quality and contamination are also specified.
More than 50 ecological water networks are expected to be built by the end of 2022, covering over half of the city’s area.
