On April 11, 2023, Zhao Chengzhong from the Urban and Rural Water Affairs Bureau of Jinan, Shandong responded to the relevant water affairs situation. According to Zhao Chengzhong, the Taiping Reservoir project plans to start construction by the end of the year.

Taiping Reservoir Project

It is reported that the Taiping Reservoir Project is an important water source project in the planning and construction of Jinan's modern water network and a major infrastructure in the starting area for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy. The planned location of the reservoir is located in the north of the starting area for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy. 800,000 cubic meters per day, mainly including water diversion works, reservoir dams, discharge culverts, management facilities and sand tank reconstruction projects, etc., with an estimated total investment of more than 12 billion yuan.

As an important new water source in the northern part of the urban area, the Taiping Reservoir is of great significance to the development of the starting area for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy. After the completion of the reservoir, it can solve the problem of engineering water shortage in the starting area, and provide a strong guarantee for the industrial and economic development of the starting area; it can also supply water to Jiyang District and Shanghe County, improve its water supply guarantee capacity, replace and compress groundwater, and improve water quality. Ecological environment; It can also be used as a strategic water reserve for the whole city, optimize the spatial layout of water sources, and improve the water supply guarantee rate of Jinan City.

In the early stage, the project has been included in the national "14th Five-Year Water Safety Guarantee Plan" and "Jinan New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Start-up Area Construction Implementation Plan", included in the provincial and municipal 14th Five-Year Plans and key engineering projects, established a project legal person, and carried out possible The preparation of research reports and the preparation of approval requirements such as land pre-examination, planning site selection, mining disasters, and resettlement.

In 2023, Jinan City will complete the preliminary work of the Taiping Reservoir to ensure that the construction will start at the end of the year. The continued construction of the Matoushan Reservoir and Wuzhuang Reservoir will be completed. Project, newly increased water diversion capacity of 1.25 million cubic meters per day. At the same time, Jinan City will plan the raw water pipeline project in the starting area to open up the urban water supply channels on both sides of the Yellow River; build a bridge, Xiguan Water Plant, and build 70 kilometers of supporting pipelines; The loss rate was reduced to 8.7%.

In 2023, Jinan City will implement the rural water supply guarantee project to improve the water supply conditions of 235 villages, and the water quality compliance rate of rural water supply and the county-level unified management rate of water supply projects will both reach more than 85%; strictly control the total amount and intensity of water consumption in the region, and strengthen water conservation Management, and basically realize the full coverage of the construction of a county-level water-saving society. In addition, Jinan City will speed up the construction of pilot cities for the allocation of national recycled water utilization, complete the ecological replenishment and recycled water utilization projects of four rivers including the Daxin River and the Zhangma River, implement the Hancang River water replenishment project, the recycled water pipeline project along the roads, and promote the recycled water intake permit system. The reclaimed water franchise model taps into the development potential of reclaimed water. Editor/He Yuting
