Ji'nan Baotu Spring water level half a month down 21 centimeters in June or continued to surge
data show that since May, the highest point of water level has appeared on the 12 day, reaching 27.93 meters, and then dropped all the way. Only half a month fell to the present 27.72 meters. According to the current rate of decline, the water level of Baotu Spring will be "broken red" again in less than half a month.
since 2014, the continuous drought in Ji'nan, Shandong has been considered to be extremely severe this spring. Since the spring surge in 2003, the Baotu Spring has been continuously spewing into the twelfth year. During the past 12 years, the underground water level of Baotu Spring has also been "broken red" many times. The most recent one was the 27.59 meter in June 21st of 2010. However, after falling to 27.55 meters, the groundwater level of Baotu Spring was "bottoming out". In May 1, 2007, the situation was the most serious, the Baotu Spring water level fell to the Red Alert line, and then fell, to the Baotu Spring in June 17th, the water level of only 27.12 meters, since then, as the water level gradually rebounded, the Ji'nan spring water burst into danger. The water level falls in May, "the lowest water level in a year is mostly in May and June, and a new round of irrigation season is coming, and the water level may still have a big drop in the absence of effective precipitation," said the spring water experts in May. He said that the lowest water level in more than half of the year appeared in June, thus speculates that the next spring in June will be even more difficult. Fortunately, rainwater will gradually increase after June, which will be most beneficial to groundwater replenishment. The water level of the Baotu Spring is between 26.80 meters and 27 meters, that is to say, there are 60 to 80 centimeters of buffer space. He said that the coming irrigation season may reduce the water table by 30 to 40 centimeters, but it is not a big problem for Baotu Spring to keep pouring.
