How does the Hunan First Division, which has the reputation of "a thousand-year-old school and a century-old teacher", read the "Water Saving Classic" well and manage water resources well? The reporter learned through the interview that in recent years, the First Division of Hunan has continued to improve the efficiency of water use, achieving "complete water-saving system, strict water-saving management, and water-saving indicators to meet the standards", while giving full play to the advantages of teacher-training colleges and universities, actively creating a "teacher+water-saving" brand, and enhancing competitiveness with "brand" power.

Open source throttling guards every drop of water

Walking into the campus of the First Division in Hunan, an iron box in the flower bed on the side of the innovation and entrepreneurship building attracted the attention of reporters.

"That's a 'trump card' we have in collecting and using rainwater." Zhou Daqing, director of the Infrastructure and Logistics Department of Hunan First Division, introduced that in recent years, the school has promoted water conservation on campus with technological innovation, not only realizing the "throttling" of water use, but also fully tapping secondary water, "open source" water for the school, and reducing water waste.

In order to "throttle" water, the First Division of Hunan Province strengthened the daily maintenance and management of water equipment, timely repaired the damaged water supply pipe network and facilities, regularly inspected and replaced faucets, pipeline valves, flushing valves and other drainage and water supply appliances, prevented the waste of "running, running, dripping, and leaking", and put an end to the phenomenon of "long flowing water". At the same time, special personnel are arranged to regularly inspect and maintain all water appliances, and the damaged appliances are reported for repair in a timely manner, and the leakage rate of water appliances is less than 5%.

In 2018 and 2021, under the great attention of the party group of the First Division in Hunan, the college invested 3.78 million yuan to transform the water supply pipe network of student apartments and the indoor water supply pipe network of Dongfanghong student apartments, and the annual water savings can reach 200,000 tons.

On this basis, the school has built an energy (water) supervision platform, realized the monitoring of the water use data of the main buildings of the whole school, and carried out real-time monitoring and statistical analysis of data through real-time monitoring and data statistical analysis of each water use link of the school, timely detection of unexpected situations such as running and dripping and timely repair, and timely repair, reducing water waste. At the same time, all kinds of water facilities and appliances in the school are reported by the teachers and students of the whole school and the property company through multiple channels such as fixed-point registration, WeChat, telephone repair and regular inspection, and the Water and Electricity Department of the Infrastructure and Logistics Department carries out maintenance in a timely manner according to the feedback information.

In terms of "open source", the Hunan First Division strengthens the recycling of water resources, advocates the secondary and multiple use of water by teachers and students, and improves the effective utilization rate of water resources as much as possible. At the same time, the landscape water is recycled from reclaimed water, effectively avoiding the use of direct water sources. School parking lots, walking paths, squares, etc. are all made of permeable floor tiles to improve the utilization rate of rainwater.

Zhou Daqing calculated an account for the reporter: there is a huge reservoir under the flower bed, which can store 10 tons of water at a time, and after a year, intermittently can save 200 tons of water. There are currently three reservoirs in the school, "which can save at least 600 tons of water a year." ”

Facts have proved that through the combination of wisdom water saving, mechanism water saving, and contract water saving, the annual water saving of the First Division in Hunan can reach more than 10% of the total water consumption.

Give play to the advantages of teacher training and the awareness of water conservation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people

Hunan First Division is a college featuring teachers, and "red" has become the background color of the school. In daily education, the school pays attention to guiding students to pay attention to resource conservation and ecological protection, develop a green lifestyle, and water conservation has become an important moral education content.

Luo Chengyi, secretary of the Party Committee of the First Division of Hunan, introduced that since the holding of teacher education in 1903, the school has adhered to the principle of "training primary school teachers, training primary school teachers, studying primary school education, and serving local development", adhered to the pure land of teacher education, built a "one-teacher model" for cultivating outstanding primary school teachers in rural areas, formed a school-running pattern with outstanding characteristics of teacher education, healthy and coordinated development of teacher training majors and non-teacher training professions, and trained nearly 100,000 outstanding teachers for basic education.

"Water-saving education starts with dolls, and our students can complete this concept when they go out." Luo Chengyi told reporters that the college will incorporate water-saving education into the teacher moral education and student code of conduct, and through the theme class meeting, the concept of water-saving will be transmitted to the daily life of students.

In Lanshan County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, deep in the mountains, there is a mountain school called Huiyuan Yao Nationality Township Central Primary School, which has more than 100 students, most of whom are Yao children. In 2014, Zhu Yanping, who graduated from the First Division of Hunan, came here to teach. Here he sows the seeds of water-saving consciousness into the hearts of every child.

Yi Li, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of hunan first division, introduced that at important green nodes such as World Water Day and China Water Week, Hunan First Division also relied on the school youth league committee to focus on water-saving education, plan special water-saving propaganda films, invite students to participate in filming, and stimulate water-saving resonance. In 2021, Hunan First Division will integrate water-saving education into moral education by carrying out the theme education activity of "Love Me One Division, Revitalize My First Division", and learn and pay attention to the generative activities in "water-saving" education through direct perception and direct experience.

Under the organization of the Youth League Committee of the school, through the school's youth volunteers, various forms of "cherish life every minute and second, save water source little by little" activities have been carried out to protect every drop of water in the school.

The reporter walked around the campus of the First Division in Hunan, and in the bathroom, sink and other places, warm reminders for water conservation can be seen everywhere, and the good atmosphere of a water-saving unit to create activities is fully reflected in these details.

Through actively organizing water-saving publicity theme activities and lectures and training, and popularizing water-saving knowledge, the awareness of water conservation among all members of the Hunan First Division has been continuously enhanced, the results of energy-saving education have been remarkable, and the brand of "teacher training + water-saving" has been continuously polished.
