Beijing is making a splash! 🌊 Since the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project began operation, a whopping 10 billion cubic meters of water has been channeled to the capital. Out of this, 7 billion cubic meters are dedicated to urban domestic water supply, solidifying it as the city's main water source and directly benefiting over 16 million people, according to the Beijing Water Authority.
With this substantial influx, Beijing has successfully established a comprehensive water resource guarantee system 🛡️ that integrates divert water, surface water, groundwater, reclaimed water, and rainwater. This multi-source approach ensures scientific and precise water resource management, allowing for coordinated control and sustainable use of its water supplies. Kudos to Beijing for leading the way in smart water management! 🌱🚰
