It's early summer, with a gentle breeze blowing and the water rippling with blue waves. On June 3, the 10th Anniversary of the Implementation of the "Five Water Treatment" River Chief System in the Zhenhai District and the Launching Ceremony of the Action for "Lucid Water in Zhenhai" were held by the beautiful Jian'gang Lake. The Jian'gang Lake is an important part of the construction of the South Line project for east-ward discharge in the Zhenhai District, and is also a landmark water system landscape in the core area of the northern commercial center of the Ningbo central urban area. It has been rated as a provincial-level "Beautiful River and Lake" in 2022. Encountering the ten years of achievements on "water treatment" in Zhenhai here and heading for the next achievement is of great significance.
In 2013, the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee proposed for the first time the strategic policy of "Five Water Treatment", with the slogan of "sewage treatment, flood prevention, drainage, water supply protection, and water-saving", which has been deeply ingrained in our hearts. Over the past decade, our district has been continuously implementing the "Five Water Treatment" approach, focusing on the overall situation and benchmarking with first-class standards. Through the three major actions of "pollution interception and source cleaning, river dredging, and ecological water transfer", we have developed a set of interconnected "combination fists" for water pollution control, and have successively passed the creation of a "zero direct sewage discharge zone" at the municipal and provincial levels. The once dirty and odorous river channels of over 200 rivers in the Zhenhai District have changed greatly and are now with lucid water.
The "Five Water Treatment" is a major concern for people's livelihood and requires concerted efforts of all walks of the society. "We must strive to be participants in water treatment." "We must dare to speak up and manage the phenomenon of damaging the water environment around us."... Volunteers from the Jiulong Lake Yellow Backpack Volunteer Association loudly read out the water conservation proposal onsite. For many years, the Zhenhai District has focused on leveraging the power of Party members, cadres, volunteers, and other forces. Through themed activities, volunteer services, and so on, the Zhenhai District has organized and spontaneously established numerous water protection volunteer teams such as the "Yellow Backpack", the "Green Ribbons", and the "Silver Age" and so on, forming a good social atmosphere where everyone participates in water treatment and shares the achievements of water treatment.
Treating water is a tough battle and a long-lasting one. In the future, our district will take the Action for "Lucid Water in Zhenhai" as an opportunity to comprehensively understand the base number of regional pipeline network facilities, continuously improve the level of sewage collection and water pollution source control, improve the construction of water environment infrastructure, enhance the level and ability of intelligent water treatment, and continuously improve the quality of our district's water ecological environment and people's satisfaction.
