Beijing has pumped more than 250 million cubic meters of groundwater?

It is reported that the head of Beijing South-to-North Water Diversion Office recently said that Beijing has pumped more than 250 million cubic meters of groundwater since the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was opened for more than two years.

According to the report, the person in charge said that since the first phase of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project was flooded for more than two years, Beijing has gradually closed its own wells and made experimental replenishment of emergency water sources, pumping more than 250 million cubic meters of groundwater, effectively curbing the downward trend of the groundwater level in the capital. At present, the population directly benefiting from Beijing exceeds 1, 654,380+00000.

According to the monitoring data, as of August 1 day, the amount of river water flowing into Beijing has exceeded 2.5 billion cubic meters, of which 569 million cubic meters of water has been deposited in large and medium-sized reservoirs in the city and replenished by groundwater, and the water quality has always been stable above Class II of surface water environmental quality standards.

In order to enhance the dilution and self-purification ability of rivers and lakes, Beijing has also replenished fresh water from the south to the rivers and lakes in the central city, which has obviously improved the water environment quality in the urban area, and the water quality of rivers and lakes in key cities is close to the Class III standard of surface water.

The South-to-North Water Transfer Project benefits the country and the people, and praises this magnificent project!
