South-to-North Water Diversion Project's Central Route (Phase I) Overfulfils Annual Water Transfer Plan

南水北调中线一期工程超额完成年度调水计划

 

The first phase of the central route of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project transferred more than 9 billion cubic meters of water to Henan, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin during the 2020-2021 period, hitting a record high by exceeding the original plan (7.423 billion cubic meters) of the Ministry of Water Resources by 21 percent, said a source from China South-to-North Water Diversion Corporation Limited. It has exceeded the annual target for two consecutive years.

11月1日,记者从中国南水北调集团获悉,南水北调中线一期工程2020—2021年度调水任务结束,向河南、河北、北京、天津四省市调水超90亿立方米,为水利部下达年度调水计划74.23亿立方米的121%,创历史新高,连续两年超工程规划供水量。

The first phase of the central route is designed to transfer water to more than 20 large and medium-sized cities, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou, and 130 counties, which has made itself a main water source for the large and medium-sized cities along the route with a total of 79 million people directly benefited, including 13 million in Beijing, 12 million in Tianjin, 30 million in Hebei and 24 million in Henan.

据了解,中线一期工程向北京、天津、石家庄、郑州等20多座大中城市、130个县供水,已成为京津冀豫沿线大中城市主力水源,受益人口连年攀升,直接受益人口达7900万人,其中北京市1300万人、天津市1200万人、河北省3000万人、河南省2400万人。

In 2014, the first phase of the central route was launched. Over the past 7 years, it has not only boosted the comprehensive treatment of groundwater overexploitation in North China, but also promoted the ecological restoration of key rivers and lakes along the route, with over 6.9 cubic meters of water supplied to more than 50 rivers and lakes. In some areas, the groundwater level has stopped falling and began to recover gradually with notably improved environment.

通水7年来,中线一期工程成为生态还原剂,累计向沿线50余条河流湖泊生态补水超69亿立方米,全面助力华北地下水超采综合治理和河湖生态环境复苏,部分区域地下水位止跌回升,生态环境得到有效改善,工程生态效益明显。


The dried low-lying areas, lakes, rivers, canals and wetlands along the route, especially in North China, have started roaring back to life again with rivers flowing alongside the green banks in all their spectacular sceneries.
