Groundwater storage is not just about “storing water”

groundwater

It is an important component of water resources

It is also a typical strategic resource.

Why is groundwater conservation so important?

How important are groundwater reserves?

01 Groundwater reserves are conducive to maintaining urban water supply security

As a stable water supply source, groundwater has the characteristics of stable water quality and quantity and strong regulation capacity, and is a safe and reliable backup water source for urban water supply. As the current water shortage in my country continues to intensify, the rational use of underground reservoirs for water storage is an important way to alleviate the water resource crisis and maintain the safety of urban water supply.

0 2 Groundwater reserves are conducive to enhancing water resources regulation capabilities

The long-term over-exploitation of groundwater in some areas has led to the creation of huge underground water storage space, which provides conditions for the realization of groundwater resource storage and comprehensive dispatch. In the wet year, underground reservoirs can store surplus surface water and external water, and take them out in time for use in the dry year or when sudden drought occurs. Such water resource regulation measures help to make up for the shortage of water supply and improve the effective utilization rate of water resources.

03 Groundwater reserves are conducive to improving the water environment

The construction of underground reservoirs can alleviate the pressure on water resources, avoid blind exploitation of groundwater that may cause underground funnels and other phenomena, optimize the water circulation state, keep the groundwater level within an appropriate range, improve urban waterlogging, and prevent the occurrence of water environment problems such as swamping and secondary salinization.

Why store groundwater?

Groundwater reserves

Mainly to strengthen

Recharge and Reserve of Groundwater Sources in my country

To cope with natural disasters such as major droughts

and water pollution and other unexpected events

Water shortage caused by

Water supply needs

my country has initially delineated

38 national key groundwater reserve areas

The key areas for groundwater reserves have been identified.

Not only can it focus on protecting

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Economic Belt, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,

Water security in the Yangtze River Delta, Xiongan New Area and other regions

It also makes groundwater

"It can be stored in the flood season and opened in the dry season"

Make it possible

my country's groundwater reserve work has taken a solid step forward

Humans live near water, and civilization thrives because of water

Rationally develop and actively reserve groundwater

This important strategic resource

Supporting the economy and society

The inevitable requirement of sustainable development

Research on Strategic Reserves and Their Systems

Still in the early stages

It is urgent to establish a reliable reserve mechanism and system

To standardize groundwater management and protection

How will groundwater conservation efforts progress in the future?

We still need to continue to pay attention
