The flood drainage river rises from the Baiyun Shanzhuang Reservoir in Donggang Town, southbound crossing the old 102 national highway, Sunjiazhuang Village, Zhongxinzhuang Village, Huangnan Village, the Beijing-Harbin Railway, the east side of Fujiaying Village, Jianshe Street, then flowing southeast-bound to the 7th Branch of the Port Authority, and entering the sea through the flood gate.
In the past, the flood drainage river flows through many villages, with domestic sewage and rain mixed together. Although there are two urban sewage treatment plants, the water quality can not meet the standards of the pollutant discharge due to the limited treatment capacity, not mention to the coal storage yard of the Daqin Railway, and the coal operation area of the Qinhuangdao Port along the river.
In order to improve this regional river, the river chiefs at the city and district levels conducted inspections on the major problems, discussed the causes of pollution on the meetings, and made specific plans. They have installed pipes for sewage drainage, transferred waters from the middle to the north, carried out comprehensive treatment and ecological restoration, and conducted coordinated pollution control, to prevent and control water pollution from the source, protect the ecological environment of Haigang District, and improve the water quality.
“Since the improvement of the flood drainage river, many wild birds have inhabited here, including 30 egrets who have been here at the end of June.” said Zhang Jianguo, head of the ecological improvement project of flood drainage river, “The stinking ditch has turned into clear river, and aquatic plants are growing well, and water lilies are blooming, all the flowers will reach their blooming period in July and August next year. In the next step, we will go all out to improve the rivers into the sea to meet the level III water standard through wetland construction, and provide residents with a beautiful place to relax.”
