Jiaojiang once again won the highest honor of water control in Zhejiang Province,"Dayu Ding"

"Only the color of mountains and rivers can enrich the scenery together." This sentence is the most vivid annotation of Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. A bay of clear water flows out of the East China Sea, and it flows with endless poetry and longness. People along the coast push through windows to see the green and go out to see the scenery, jointly witnessing the "butterfly transformation" road of harmony between people and water in their hometown and moving towards beauty.

Recently, Zhejiang held a provincial central ecological and environmental protection inspection rectification and beautiful Zhejiang construction promotion meeting. At the meeting, the list of outstanding cities and counties that have won the "Dayu Ding" work of the 2023 "Five Waters Joint Governance" work was announced. After 2017, Jiaojiang District once again won the province's highest honor in water control,"Dayu Ding".

The project is "updated" and the construction of smart networks is added

The ground is a park with pleasant scenery, and the underground is an efficient water purification facility. At the construction site of Taizhou's first fully buried sewage treatment plant-Jiaojiang Dispersed Water Purification Plant Construction Project (Taihe Water Purification Plant Project), there are many tower cranes and roaring machines, presenting a fiery construction scene.

After the completion of this project, it will not only realize a wonderful combination of above-ground parks and underground water purification, allowing water quality purification and urban landscape to be improved, but will also reduce the burden on the normal operation of Taizhou City Sewage Treatment Development Co., Ltd. and greatly improve Jiaojiang's overall sewage treatment capacity.

In 2023, 12 zero-direct sewage discharge, quality improvement and area expansion projects in 7 streets in Jiaojiang District have been fully implemented. The total investment of the project exceeds 450 million yuan. The construction evaluation and tasks of "zero-direct sewage discharge areas" in 3 streets and 8 industrial parks have been completed. The Jiaonan Area Interconnection Project has enabled the sewage pipe network to basically realize north-south interconnection.

In addition, Jiaojiang District uses a smart platform to enter relevant information on pipe network laying into the GIS system, realizing three-dimensional visual display of pipelines, pipe wells, pumping stations, etc., and monitoring the three elements of pipe network water level, water volume, and water quality in real time, as well as rainwater and sewage system. Quantitative analysis gives full play to the practical effectiveness of the integrated management and control system.

"Upgrading" pollution control helps the construction of beautiful bays

Under the blue sea and blue sky, Li Hejiao, a resident of Dachen Island in Jiaojiang River, picked up plastic bottles and damaged fishing nets from the beach and sent them to the recycling point called "Xiaolan Home" on the island. "This plastic waste will be used by companies and eventually made into car parts, luggage boxes, phone case, etc. and sent to all parts of the world." Li Hejiao said.

Each product has a dedicated digital "carbon footprint", which can be scanned to display the source of recycled plastics-the sea area of Dachen Island. Leading international companies that attach importance to environmental protection and carbon reduction will give priority to purchasing such digitally certified recycled plastic products at a higher price than traditional recycled plastics.

From marine garbage collection to land recycling, to value-added use in international carbon trading, the "Blue Cycle" marine plastic waste management project started in Jiaojiang has effectively solved problems such as difficulty in collecting, utilizing, and trading marine garbage. It was also awarded the United Nations "Champions of the Earth Award", the highest environmental honor at the end of last year.

In recent years, Jiaojiang District has actively focused on marine environmental protection work in detail, focusing on building a "double carbon digital platform" for carbon sink calculation, and successfully completed the first auction of Zhejiang Province's mussel marine blue carbon trading, trying to integrate "Blue Cycle" and "Marine Blue Carbon" organically integrate "Blue Economy" dual circulation. At the same time, the "Marine Blue Carbon" project won the Bronze Award of the 2023 Zhejiang Reform Breakthrough Award.

The city "rejuvenates" and enjoys happy rivers and lakes

Nowadays, when you climb Wangjiang Terrace in Zhakou Park, you can have a panoramic view of the "Super Bowl", wine can station, scenic covered bridges, sand dune trails and other landscapes; look around, the Yongning Tower Bridge under construction will soon connect major Internet celebrities. Space, the 205-meter "Eye of Taizhou" dialogue with the mottled freight terminal...

New and old, industrial imprints and ecological landscapes complement each other here. From the "industrial rust belt" to the "life show belt", the riverside public space on the south bank of the Jiaojiang River took the upgrading and renovation of the seawall as an opportunity to create an ecological leisure landscape green corridor with urban compound functions, becoming the "urban cover" for Taizhou's high-quality development.

Jiaojiang District has always adhered to the construction of rivers and lakes as a vivid practice to promote the transformation of the concept of "two mountains". By building water ecology, creating water landscapes, developing water economy, etc., it promotes economic development, industrial agglomeration, and prosperity of the people along the river basins, making beautiful rivers and lakes a "happy river and lake" that benefits the people.

According to reports, from January to July this year, the excellent rate of 4 national and provincial control sections in Jiaojiang District reached 100%, and the water quality compliance rate of 9 county-controlled sections was 100%, and the excellent rate was 100%. Both indicators were higher than last year. In the same period, it obtained double excellence in Taizhou City's "Five Water Co-Governance" work assessment and coastal waters water environment protection assessment last year. Hongjia Street was awarded the excellent township (street) in the provincial "Five Water Co-Governance" work assessment.

In the next step, Jiaojiang water control people will continue to whip their horses, so that this city of youth can not only feel the "sense of fashion", but also appreciate the "fireworks", and take a deeper approach to water control and water protection with beautiful mountains and rivers, prosperous culture, and prosperous industries.
