Ji'nan: Quancheng 10 residential area will pilot rainwater reuse to quench thirst for the city.
12 days, Ji'nan City, Shandong Province in 2013, the national urban water conservation week was officially launched. Every drop of rain has a great effect. Rainwater collection and utilization is one of the measures to save water resources in cities. The responsible person of the Municipal Water Saving Office introduced that the rainwater is a very valuable resource for the countries and cities with water shortage. Through the reasonable collection and utilization of rainwater, the groundwater can be supplemented and the utilization rate of rainwater can be improved. Rainwater collected can be used for car washing, toilet flushing, irrigation and greening.
the reporter learned that rainwater collection and utilization are a very important industry in some countries, and the laws and regulations for rainwater utilization and the perfect rainwater utilization system have been formulated. For example, in Singapore, restricted by the natural terrain, it is forbidden to exploit groundwater and one of the ways to acquire water resources is to collect rainwater. A government minister in Singapore once said, "every drop of rain on the land of Singapore is to be collected."
at present, Ji'nan is also promoting rainwater recovery and utilization system, and pilot projects in some residential areas or colleges and universities to make rational use of every drop of urban water resources. According to the plan, Ji'nan will start the rainwater utilization project in the residential district during the "12th Five-Year" period, and will use the rainwater in 10 plots, and directly collect the rainwater for green irrigation and road cleaning. Ji'nan has built a demonstration project of rainwater utilization at West Railway Station, Shandong Youth Politics Institute and Shandong Sports Institute. Rainwater utilization in residential areas has also started. Last year, the rainwater utilization facilities such as celebrities hall and Zhong run Century City were built and put into operation.
