Protect ecology-continue to polish the ecological background
Bawanghe Park, located in Jining District, has blue sky and clear water, beautiful trees and green scenery. Walking on the trestle bridge and breathing the fresh air, it is like being in a beautiful picture of harmony between people and water...
In the 1980s and 1990s, due to the continuous natural drought, the groundwater level dropped, artificial mining and arbitrary excavation, and garbage occupation of the river, the water resources of the Bawang River and the ecological environment on both sides of the river were seriously damaged. The entire river was dilapidated and became a barren land and smelly ditch that citizens respect. In order to improve the ecological environment and make green the main tone of Jining, the party committees and governments at the two levels of Ulanqab City and Jining District have focused on playing the three cards of "mountain, water and green" and comprehensively adopted a series of measures such as planning to build green, demolishing and illegally build green, breaking walls to penetrate green, inserting green through cracks, and expanding green through scenery, which has greatly improved the amount of urban greening and landscape effect. Up to now, the green space rate in the built-up area has reached 40.23%, the green coverage rate has reached 42.86%, and the per capita park green space area has reached 34.96 square meters. In 2010, Jining District was awarded the honorary title of "National Greening Model County"; in 2015, it successfully established a national garden city and was known as the "Garden City Built on Basalt."

In 2023, 15,800 residents will be treated with coal-fired scattered burning in the district, and 8 units above 65 steam tons were successfully completed. The ultra-low emission transformation of coal-fired boilers was successfully completed, and the installation of fume purification equipment in catering stores achieved full coverage of the industry. Coordinate and promote sewage treatment, drinking water source protection and black and smelly water treatment, strictly implement the river and lake chief system, and complete the water environment quality assessment goals and tasks. The groundwater quality in Jining District reaches Class III standards, and there is no inferior to Class V water bodies. The proportion of excellent water quality in centralized drinking water sources is 100%. We will do a solid job in the prevention and control of soil pollution, strictly manage the access of construction land, and strengthen the prevention and control of solid waste pollution with the goal of reduction, resource utilization and harmlessness. The utilization and disposal rate of hazardous waste is 100%. The quality of the soil environment continues to improve.
