Environmental protection of Baixi Reservoir

Ningbo Baixi Reservoir is the main water supply source for Ningbo City. Since the beginning of the construction of the reservoir, the Baixi Reservoir Construction Headquarters has always given top priority to water quality and water environment protection. The implementation is based on water conservancy projects, with water quality protection, soil and water conservation and ecological environment construction as the core, and the development and construction of water conservancy scenic spots. As the leader, the comprehensive development strategy of water resources integrates water conservancy, tourism, forestry and agriculture. Explore a new way to transform from traditional water conservancy to modern water conservancy. Through several years of efforts of Baixi Reservoir Construction and Development Co., Ltd., it has managed the state-owned forest farm and Dasongxi Canyon, established an agricultural company, and built a hub area environment. It has promoted the integration of resources with a total area of ??about 30 square kilometers centered on the water surface of the reservoir area, and organized Unified and orderly constructive protection and development management have achieved three changes in water resources management;

After investigating the Baixi Reservoir, the Zhejiang Provincial Planning Commission pointed out: "The Baixi Reservoir is proactive and courageous in practice. It not only completed the project construction tasks with high efficiency and quality, but also formed three distinctive features: First, Promote the transformation of traditional water conservancy into modern water conservancy and explore new models of comprehensive development and utilization of water resources; the second is to advocate green economy and interpret the new concept of sustainable development; the third is to promote the non-agriculturalization of local mountain people and open up ways to get rid of poverty and become rich in underdeveloped areas. A new approach. These practices have better solved the problems of comprehensive development and utilization of water resources, eco-tourism, employment and income of landless farmers, and sustainable development of underdeveloped mountainous areas. This is the key to developing a green economy and rebuilding a green Zhejiang in the new century. It is valuable to explore and boldly innovate. The practice of Baixi Reservoir is worth summarizing and can be used as a reference for similar areas in our province.”
