Project to clean up 55 rivers by 2020
Print Edition
THE “One River One Plan” project to clean up 55 rivers and canals in Putuo is well under way.
The district construction commission has formed a taskforce with four small teams to handle departmental coordination, project management, demolition and illegal discharges, and comprehensive river management.
The project has a cleanup schedule for every river. This year’s efforts are focused on restoring ecological balance in 32 rivers with Chaoyang River and Xiqiu River as good examples.
Based on their prior investigation, authorities have sealed up 630 of the 853 discharge pipes along local rivers and will upgrade 54 drainage pipes.
Discharge pipes from factories will be rerouted to join the city’s central discharge system, which is expected to be completed by year-end.
The commission has partnered with concerned government departments and major manufacturing enterprises to facilitate the project.
The commission is also cooperating with local universities, research institutes and companies to plan for sustainable utilization of river resources. It will improve the current expert consulting mechanism.
Putuo will build a smart management platform for long-term management of waterways after clean-up. The public is encouraged to participate in river management and volunteer activities will be organized.
The objective of the “One River One Plan” project is to provide local residents a better living environment with clean rivers and beautiful scenery by 2020.
