Nanming's water treatment efforts deliver results

Adhering to the "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" concept, Nanming district in Guiyang, the capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has achieved significant results in combating water pollution.

In 2022, the water quality of the six rivers in the jurisdiction of Nanming district reached or exceeded Grade IV standards in China's five-tier monitoring system.

Among them, the water quality of the Madi River upgraded from Grade IV to Grade III, and the water quality of the Shixi River and the Guancheng River reached Grade IV.

To improve regional water quality, Nanming has continued to improve its reclaimed water treatment facilities and promote the comprehensive treatment of large drainage ditches.

Besides the original six municipal-level sewage treatment plants in the jurisdiction, Nanming is building, renovating and expanding another six reclaimed water plants.

When the Hebin, Guimian, Taici, Guigang, and Wulipong reclaimed water plants are put into use, the district's sewage treatment capacity will reach 150,000 cubic meters per day, and the up-to-standard tail water will be discharged into the Nanming River as ecological supplementary water.

In terms of rural black and odorous water treatment, the three rural black and odorous water points in Nanming have all been rectified.

Meanwhile, Nanming has promoted the treatment of rural domestic sewage to ensure that the rural living environment in its jurisdiction is effectively improved.

Currently, Guanyun, Houchao and Yongle townships in Nanming have been included in Nanming's urban water supply system, pushing the district's rural drinking water supply network coverage rate to 100 percent.

Additionally, Nanming has organized various activities to improve residents' awareness of saving water and protecting water quality.
