Watching China play the Yellow River movement in the new era as the river rushes.

  Cctv news(News Network): The surging Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, and the An Lan of the Yellow River is the Millennium expectation of the Chinese people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the nine provinces along the Yellow River have unswervingly followed the road of ecological priority and green development, and played a new movement of the Yellow River for ecological protection and high-quality development in the new era.

  The river surges and winds in nine twists and turns.

  At the source of the Yellow River, Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake are boundless in autumn. During this period, the water ecological monitoring and sampling of the source lake has been stepped up, and the sampling data will provide an important scientific basis for watershed protection. Over the past six years, with the promotion of ecological protection and construction projects in Sanjiangyuan area, the total amount of water resources in Sanjiangyuan area has increased significantly, and the average annual outbound water volume will reach more than 76.5 billion cubic meters in 2021.

  We should jointly do a good job in great protection, promote great governance in coordination, firmly establish a sense of "playing a game of chess" along the nine provinces and regions of the Yellow River, and keep the lifeline of improving the ecological environment.

  Upstream, increase water conservation. Ruoergai county, Sichuan implements comprehensive wetland ecological management, and the total water storage capacity of Zoige wetland reaches about 10 billion cubic meters, from which about 30% of the Yellow River water comes every year.

  In the middle reaches, strengthen soil and water conservation and pollution control. In Shaanxi, sand is fixed by grass, stopped by forest and retained by dam, and the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River is decreasing. Shanxi has invested more than 17 billion yuan to harness the Fenhe River and fill the shortcomings of water environment infrastructure.

  Downstream, improve the flood control system and the wetland ecological protection system. An ecological corridor along the Yellow River has been built in Henan, which has many functions such as flood control and bank protection. At the end of last year, 757 kilometers of ecological corridor on the right bank of the Henan section of the Yellow River ran through the whole line, with an afforestation area of 107,000 mu. Located in the Yellow River Delta in Dongying, Shandong Province, returning farmland to wet areas and retiring to beaches. In the past ten years, 188 square kilometers of wetlands have been restored, and the number of bird species has increased from 187 to 371.

  Depending on water and measuring water, the whole basin has strengthened the economical and intensive use of water resources, and all the more than 400 counties in the basin have reached the evaluation standard of water-saving society. In Ningxia, the irrigated farmland with high efficiency and water saving in the Yellow River Diversion Irrigation Area exceeds 4 million mu, accounting for more than half of the irrigated farmland. In Inner Mongolia, the efficiency of water resources utilization is improved through agricultural water saving and efficiency improvement, industrial water saving and emission reduction, and urban water saving and loss reduction. In Gansu, high-standard farmland and high-efficiency dry farming and water-saving agriculture will be promoted, saving 1 billion cubic meters of water annually.

  For a long time, the water quality of the Yellow River basin has improved significantly in the past ten years. In 2021, the entire mainstream of the Yellow River will reach Class III water bodies. The area and intensity of soil erosion in the Yellow River basin have "double decline". The level of water resources conservation and utilization has been steadily improved.

  Protect in development and develop in protection. The provinces along the Yellow River firmly follow the road of green, sustainable and high-quality development. The construction of clean energy has run out of acceleration, green electricity has been continuously transported to the outside, key industrial chains such as intelligent manufacturing and aerospace have been accelerated, and emerging industries such as big data and cloud computing have flourished, which has become a new kinetic energy to promote the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Nowadays, along the nine provinces and regions of the Yellow River, we are firmly committed to our goals and down-to-earth, and continue to write a magnificent chapter of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin in the new era.
