Water is the mother of all things, the foundation of survival, and the source of civilization. March 22, 2024 is the 32nd World Water Day, and March 22-28, 2024 is the 37th China Water Week. The theme of this year's World Water Day and China Water Week is "Make good use of water resources and manage water resources strictly". In recent years, Linxia City attaches great importance to the construction of a water-saving society, fully implements the water control idea of "water conservation priority, spatial balance, systematic governance, and two-handed efforts", and strictly enforces the water resources management system and various water-saving policies. On the basis of gradually consolidating the achievements of a water-saving society, the efficiency of water resources has been further improved, the water ecological environment has been markedly improved, and the construction of a water-saving society has become a common practice.
The whole territory of Linxia belongs to the Yellow River Basin, which has been an important water supply area and ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River since ancient times. Protecting the ecological environment and curbing soil erosion are of great significance for promoting the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Since the full implementation of the river chief system, the Linxia Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have resolutely implemented the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the province and the prefecture on the full implementation of the river chief system, adhered to the high-level promotion, strictly and relied on the responsibilities of river and lake chiefs at all levels, paid close attention to the rectification of outstanding problems in rivers and lakes, refined various work measures, and solidly promoted the basic management work.
As a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Daxia River is very rich in water resources, and the natural scenery along the way is charming, and the customs and customs are different, like a colorful link, which closely links the people of Tibet, Hui, Han, Dongxiang and other ethnic groups along the line. In order to improve the living environment and the urban ecological environment, and promote the sustainable development of the city's social economy, Linxia City has planned and implemented projects such as the flood control and comprehensive treatment of the ecological environment along the 30-mile customs line of the Daxia River - hydraulic automatic control flap sluice dam, and 12 hydraulic self-controlled flap sluice dams have been arranged in the river since the first bridge of the Daxia River, and landscape projects such as the waterwheel park have been built. In particular, the construction of a bridge beautification and lighting upgrading and renovation project makes the smart Daxia River and the colorful Daxia Bridge light show reflect each other, and the bridge under the night is like two beautiful arcs across the sky, projected in the Daxia River, mysterious and dazzling. As far as the eye can see, the layers of thousands of lights and flashing neon lights decorate the Daxia River with brilliance, forming a beautiful night view of the waterfront.
It is worth mentioning that in 2022, the section from the first bridge of the Daxia River in Linxia City to the Ferris wheel bridge was included in the directory of beautiful and happy rivers and lakes in the province;In 2023, in the selection of the creation section of the provincial beautiful and happy rivers and lakes, the Linxia City section of the Daxia River in the Yellow River Basin was again selected as the third batch of provincial happy rivers and lakes creation section;In September 2022, Linxia City was successfully declared as the first batch of "Pilot Cities for the Utilization of Reclaimed Water in Typical Areas" in the country The implementation of the Linxia City Reclaimed Water Comprehensive Utilization Project with an investment of 340 million yuan has laid the foundation for the utilization of unconventional water in Linxia City and ensured the utilization rate of reclaimed water.
At present, coinciding with the season of spring flowers, many birds return to the north to forage, perch, breed, and choose to "settle down" in the Daxia River, and groups of frolicking and playing birds on the water surface gather in the wetland of the river, enjoy the afternoon sun, occasionally stretch their wings, fly low on the river surface, and the agile figure is reflected in the blue sky and clear water.
Protecting the green mountains and rivers on which we depend for survival is a must-answer question, not a multiple-choice question. Based on this understanding, the Linxia Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government actively practice the idea of "giving priority to water conservation, spatial balance, systematic governance, and making efforts with both hands", and regard the promotion of the long-term system of rivers and lakes as a basic project for water conservation and water control.
The importance of making good use of water resources and managing water resources strictly and carefully is self-evident for Linxia City. On the occasion of the 32nd "World Water Day" and the 37th "China Water Week", we call on the whole society to start from each of us, from the small things around us, everyone saves a drop of water, and leaves a piece of "spring" everywhere! Let us take positive action to lead the whole society to cherish, save and care for water, so that all actions to build a water-saving society can take root. The water of life, every bit of preciousness, is reluctant to trickle, and it becomes an ocean. From now on, we will be the "advocate, practitioner, and promoter" of water conservation, let the water of life flow for a long time, and contribute to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern, happy and beautiful new Linxia!
Water is the soul of the city of Linxia. She nourishes the earth, nourishes the soul, brings prosperity on both sides of the strait, and nurtures a rich culture. The optimization of the quality of the ecological environment is the "background color" of "creating a charming flower city and building a park city". To make every effort to fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, it is necessary to make a good ecological environment become the growth point of people's lives, the support point for the sustainable and healthy development of the economy and society, and the force point to show the good image of our city. Today's Linxia, "harmony between man and water" has become the most moving melody. Water is the lifeblood of development, and it is also the confidence of Linxia's high-quality development. Looking forward to the future, Linxia City will closely focus on the requirements of the city's water-saving social construction, ride the wind and waves, and provide strong water power for the continuous promotion of building a charming flower city and the high-quality development of a park city.
