On the morning of March 22, the second water purification plant of Ningdong Water Supply Project, the "lifeblood" of Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base, ushered in a group of "small guests".
"Every day, 800,000 cubic meters of Yellow River water is delivered to 161 enterprises and more than 20,000 ......households in the Ningdong base through reservoirs, water purification plants and water distribution pipelines," the narrator of Ningdong Water Company introduced to more than 50 teachers and students of Ningdong Middle School in Ningdong Town. The "second classroom" water-saving practice activity allowed students to understand the source of tap water, the production process of tap water, know the hard-won tap water, and enhance the consciousness and initiative of saving water in daily life.
March 22, 2024 is the 32nd World Water Day, and March 22-28, 2024 is the 37th China Water Week. With the theme of this year's "China Water Week" - "Make good use of water resources with careful planning and strict management of water resources" as the main theme, Ningxia Water Investment Group specially invited representatives from all walks of life such as primary and secondary schools, enterprise users and community residents to carry out immersive water-saving publicity activities on the open day of water plants, create a second classroom for water-related knowledge popularization and education, and contribute to the construction of the ecological protection and high-quality development pilot area of the Yellow River Basin, the construction of a water-saving society, and the autonomous region's active battle of "four waters and four determinations".
Save water, starting with the doll. Teachers and students of schools in the water supply area and "little reporters and hosts" from various media units walked into 12 water supply companies affiliated to Ningxia Water Investment Group to understand the operation mode of public water supply projects on the spot, observe the water production and delivery of water plants, water quality control and "smart water" operation and management platform, understand the production, sewage treatment, reclaimed water reuse, water quality testing and other work of tap water, feel the magical process of "sewage" becoming "clear stream", and inspire the public to become practitioners of water conservation and water protection, and disseminators of water-saving concepts.
In the process exhibition area of the first sewage treatment plant of Zhongning Water Company, the students learned in detail and intuitively about the whole process of a drop of water in nature from generation to development and utilization by people to become sewage, and then to become clean again through sewage treatment through the explanation of the water baby in the animation. "The treated sewage can not only water flowers, wash the streets, but also raise fish. Yang Jiayao, from the first class of the fourth grade of Zhongning Ninth Primary School, sighed after listening to the popular science class of "The Travel of a Drop of Water" at the Zhongning Sewage Treatment Plant.
The students deeply felt the hard-won success of a drop of domestic water, and carefully recorded the process and feelings of participating in the activity one by one, and felt that the development of this activity benefited everyone a lot. He said: "I want to be a water-saving expert, wash my face with a basin, wash my face with water, wash rice water to water flowers, and take home bottled water that I can't drink." ”
Cherishing water resources and saving water, children are in action, and they need the attention and investment of the whole society. As the largest state-owned water supply enterprise in Ningxia, Ningxia Water Investment Group has a daily water supply capacity of more than 3 million tons and an annual water supply of nearly 500 million tons. During the "China Water Week" activity, Ningxia Water Investment Group also broadcast the slogans of "World Water Day" and "China Water Week" in various water supply business halls and the company's electronic screen, inviting residents and enterprise users to witness the "journey of a drop of water" at "zero distance", publicize the relevant knowledge of knowing, loving and saving water, and continuously enhance the awareness of water conservation, water conservation and water protection of the people in the water supply area.
