reporter learned from the scene, the old Jinan people eat water, mainly from the spring water, near the moat residents, near the use of water. Residents in the commercial port area often dig wells and draw water from hospitals and streets. Few small manufacturers are digging wells for their own use in factories. Jiangjia Chi, Du Kangquan, drinking tiger pond, black tiger spring, Yuhuan spring, East flowing water and East West moat are the places where people draw water all the year round.
after the opening of Ji'nan in 1904, the provincial government decided to build a tap water supply system which is mainly oriented to the commercial port area. In April 1934, the Ji'nan water supply Preparatory Committee was formally established to plan water supply companies to build urban water supply systems. In December 15, 1936, the first tap water plant in Ji'nan was built, and the daily water supply was 22 thousand tons. When water works begin to supply water, the main water supply area is city customs and part of the commercial port, mainly living water. The use of water users is business, government and military organs, and the water use rate is less than 15%.
in order to better protect springs, Ji'nan subsequently built the southern suburb waterworks, and the hushushan reservoir began to supply water to the urban area. At the beginning of this century, two Yellow River reservoirs were built in Ji'nan: Yuqing lake reservoir and Queshan reservoir, which supply 600 thousand cities to the urban area every day, accounting for more than 9 of the urban area. In the southern mountainous area, there are about 100 thousand water supply each day in the hushushan, Jinxiu Chuan and wolf Cat Mountain storehouses. Ji'nan only has underground water, such as Baiquan and Niu Wang Zhuang, and the amount of water is very small.
