Editor: Cheng Weimin Tamia Liu Camera: Zhao Peidong
The program guide used to be picturesque here However, today
At the same time: This kind of beautiful scenery will never be photographed again.
At the same time: you can't live without water!
Baiyangdian is in a hurry, and North China has been suffering from drought for years! Without the source of life, how can the people survive?
The South-to-North Water Transfer Project is trying to solve the problem of water shortage! Pay attention to 2004 World Water Day and this issue of Green Home.
March 22nd this year is the 12th World Water Day. The United Nations has determined that the theme of this year's World Water Day is "Water and Disasters".
[host interrupts A] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Green Home. In 2004, the propaganda theme of China's commemoration of "World Water Day" was determined as "Harmony between People and Water". "Harmony" means balance. However, according to the data, the cumulative over-exploitation of groundwater in Hebei Province has exceeded 5 billion cubic meters, and the shortage of water resources in various regions is very serious. Baiyangdian Lake, located in the central areas of Beijing, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang, is the largest inland freshwater lake and an important wetland ecosystem in North China, and is called the thermometer and hygrometer in North China. However, the dry lake for seven years in a row has not only brought the aquatic animals, plants and ecosystems of Baiyangdian Lake to the brink of crisis, but also threatened the production and life of more than 600,000 people around the lake area. On the day of World Water Day, the reporter of Green Home first walked into Baiyangdian.

Water of life
Subtitle: Xinkou Village, Shierjianfang Township, Renqiu County is a semi-water village with three sides of land and one side of water.
(reeds swaying in the wind; Thirsty riverbed ...)
Reporter: How much water does this have on your reed planting?
Li Jiankang, a villager from Xinkou Village, Shierjianfang Township, Renqiu County: The more water, the better! The more water there is, the stronger the reed grows.
Reporter: Is it because of the water?
Li Jiankang, a villager in Xinkou Village, Shierjianfang Township, Renqiu County: Because of the water! There is no water, it doesn't rain very much, and the reed is harvested less when it is dry.
Reporter: What is your harvest of 80 or 90 mu of reed?
Li Jiankang, a villager from Xinkou Village, Shierjianfang Township, Renqiu County: Ten thousand and eight thousand! If there is less water, there will be less harvest. Not last year, so I didn't make much money. Weeds grow thin and can't be beaten out.
Subtitle: Baiyangdian Lake has reed140,000 mu, with an annual output of 7 million tons of reed mats, accounting for 40% of the national total, lotus and water chestnut100,000 mu, and as many as 54 species of freshwater fish. The production of fishing and reed is 63? The main source of income for ten thousand people.

Subtitle: One of the 39 villages surrounded by water in Baiyangdian, Wangjiazhai Village, Anxin County.
Jiao Kui, 77, is a fisherman in Wangjiazhai Village, Anxin County. I lived in Baiyangdian since I was a child and made a living by fishing with osprey.
Jiao Kui, a fisherman from Wangjiazhai Village, Anxin County: I used to fly osprey! This osprey just caught the big one! Carved flowers, white fish, square fish, chrysanthemum yellow and red gills; There are all kinds of fish. Now there are fewer fish!
Reporter: What about these years?
Jiao Kui, a fisherman from Wangjiazhai Village, Anxin County: I can't do it these years! In recent years, there will be no fish without water! There used to be water on it, which had to be 3-4 meters higher. There is a lot of water and many fish. Less water, mixed water! The osprey catches less fish!
Reporter: What impact has the change of water level had on you in recent years?
Jiao Kui, a fisherman from Wangjiazhai Village, Anxin County: I haven't caught any fish for years! You can't catch three catties and five catties in one day. Now I have to live by traveling.
Caption: According to the introduction of Hebei Wildlife Conservation Association, there are 3/kloc-0 species of fish in Baiyangdian Lake, which is known as the "Pearl of North China", 23 species less than 50 years ago. The area of Baiyangdian Lake has been reduced from nearly 1000 square kilometers in history to 366 square kilometers at present.

Subtitle: On the dry riverbed in front of the 25th gate at the lower reaches of Baiyangdian Lake in Zaolinzhuang Village, Renqiu County.
Reporter: fellow villager, repair the boat! This ship is a tourist ship. What are you doing now!
Ma Yuping, a villager from Linzhuang Village, Renqiu City: Now I am ready to go into the water.
Reporter: Now there is no water!
Ma Yuping, a villager in Linzhuang Village, Renqiu City: There is no water to make do with it. There is no river ditch, row along it!
Reporter: Is it more convenient to row if the water level is high in previous years?
Ma Yuping, a villager from Linzhuang Village, Renqiu City: That's certainly convenient. The water level is very small now. 80% of our village depends on tourism to eat, and it depends on tourism to build gates and dig rivers everywhere.
Reporter: How high is the highest water level in your impression?
Ma Yuping, a villager in Linzhuang Village, Renqiu City: The place where we stand is 2 meters with the highest impression!
Reporter: That is to say, our standing position is 2 meters higher! When was that?
Ma Yuping, a villager in Linzhuang Village, Renqiu City: 1997, 1996 and 1998. After 1996, the water was kept for two years.
Caption: Baiyangdian Lake is the largest freshwater lake in North China. It is a wet area of 924 square kilometers consisting of 143 large and small lakes and more than 3,700 ditches. The water is shallow but the water surface is wide, and the annual evaporation is above 1000 mm. According to experts' calculations, Baiyangdian Lake will dry up as long as it is not replenished for two years.
Flower patch: One of the special programs of 3.22 World Water Day-Water of Life
Subtitle: Fengkui Wang, publicity officer of Qiushi Water Affairs Bureau. Shooting around Baiyangdian all the year round. Record the changes of Baiyangdian ecological environment with a lens.
Fengkui Wang, Propaganda Officer of Renqiu Water Affairs Bureau: I took this photo in 1998. At this position, this position is more than 100 meters away from the 25-hole gate. In April 1998 (filming), there was a lot of water at that time, and the water depth was about two meters. The scenery was very beautiful at that time. I've been here every year since 1998, but this kind of beauty can't be photographed anymore because of the dry lake year after year! It is a great pity for us photographers. Because photography is an instant art, if you lose it, you will never have it again! What a pity!
Subtitle or dubbing: In the memory of many people who have been to Baiyangdian and those who have never been to Baiyangdian, the Baiyangdian scenic spot is full of water and the sky is beautiful all the year round.
The beauty of Baiyangdian lies in harmony. Rivers and lakes are connected, ditches are criss-crossed, and reed fields are dotted around the waters. The pain of Baiyangdian is drying up, and it is more painful to lose harmony.
After years of dry lake, Baiyangdian gradually faded away from the beauty of Jiangnan water town in the sigh of people like poets.
Water, the source of human life, is the foundation for the people in Dianqu to survive ...
The next section predicts that the water shortage in Baiyangdian Lake has attracted people's attention from all walks of life.
The start-up of the project of "drawing Yue into the lake" will open up a new way to alleviate the water shortage in Baiyangdian!
This replenishment is of great significance to the aquatic plants and the ecology of Baiyangdian Lake. This is a happy water for the people in the lake area.
Please continue to watch the special program of 3.22 World Water Day-Saving Baiyangdian Lake.
3 ? 22 World Water Day Special Program No.2
Rescue Baiyangdian Lake
[host breaks in B] Baiyangdian Lake has been dry for years, which not only has a great impact on the production and life of 600,000 people around the lake area, but also attracts extensive attention from all walks of life. In the case that the upstream reservoir is short of water, an inter-regional and inter-basin ecological water transfer plan arises at the historic moment.
Reporter: This is the 12-hole gate in Renqiu. On March 1 day, the Zhanghe River water drawn from Yuecheng Reservoir in Handan flowed through 457 kilometers for nearly half a month, and then flowed from here to the thirsty Baiyangdian Lake.
Dubbing Baiyangdian belongs to the Daqing River system, and it is the largest wetland protection area in North China, which consists of 143 large and small lakes and more than 3,700 ditches. Due to the drought in North China for seven years, the upstream reservoirs are generally short of water storage, so it is impossible to replenish water for Baiyangdian Lake, the pearl of North China. Without a large amount of flowing water, Baiyangdian Lake will be completely dried up and the ecological environment will deteriorate sharply.
In order to avoid the serious ecological crisis caused by the drying up of Baiyangdian Lake, the Ministry of Water Resources and Hebei Province have formulated the scheme of "Diversion from Yuecheng Reservoir, which belongs to the South Canal system, to Baiyangdian Lake through the Ziya River system. The project of "Diversion from Yue to Ji Dian" was released from Yuecheng Reservoir on February 16, 2004, and the original river course was used, spanning five regions of Handan, Xingtai, Hengshui, Cangzhou and Baoding, with a total length of 457 kilometers. The water level of Baiyangdian Lake can be raised from the current 6 meters to 7.3 meters, thus avoiding the threat of dry lake.
Reporter: I am now walking on the riverbed of Baiyangdian Lake. According to fellow villagers, the water surface here should be more than 2 meters under ideal conditions. That's how high it is. If it reaches 2 meters, that is, the position of the warning line of the cement platform, the 25-hole sluice located in Zaolinzhuang Water Control Project will be opened to carry out certain flood discharge. However, due to the continuous drying of Baiyangdian Lake in recent two years, this sluice has not been put into use for several years, and it has lost its due role.
In the history of dubbing, there are few records of dry lake in Baiyangdian. However, since the 1960s, due to water storage and dam construction in the basin, economic development and population increase, the demand for water has greatly increased and the influence of regional climate drought has caused a sharp drop in the amount of water entering the lake, and the phenomenon of dry lake has occurred many times. Among them,1983 ~1988 has been dry for five consecutive years, which not only makes the beautiful scenery of Baiyangdian gradually lose its luster, but also makes the water ecological environment suffer from extinction. Many aquatic animals and plants, especially rare species, have disappeared and no longer exist. There are 3/kloc-0 species of fish, which is 23 species less than 50 years ago. At the same time, it has caused great difficulties to people's lives in Dianqu.
Liang Baocheng, Deputy Director of Baiyangdian Management Office, Daqing River Management Office, Hebei Province:
This replenishment is of great significance to the aquatic plants and the ecology of Baiyangdian Lake. This is a happy water for the people in Dianqu, and their production and lifestyle can be guaranteed; This is an ecological water for mediating Baiyangdian microclimate; Baiyangdian plays an irreplaceable role in supplementing the surrounding resources and mediating the surrounding ecology; Another is that replenishing water for Baiyangdian Lake is an ecological water for aquatic animals and plants in Baiyangdian Lake, which can be said to give a good opportunity for aquatic animals and plants to multiply.
Reporter: What is the significance of this water replenishment to alleviate drought in other areas?
Liang Baocheng, Deputy Director of Baiyangdian Management Office of Daqing River Management Office in Hebei Province: "Drawing Yue into Lake" is 457 kilometers along the way, involving 4 cities and 22 counties. This water replenishment can be said to play a very good role in supplementing groundwater in the surrounding counties and cities.
Dubbing From 1997 to 2003, the Ministry of Water Resources and Hebei Province successively diverted more than 900 million cubic meters of water from the upstream reservoir 1 1 time to replenish Baiyangdian Lake at any cost. Water diversion has alleviated the water shortage crisis to a certain extent, but it can't fundamentally relieve the threat of dry lake, and Baiyangdian is almost dry every year. This trans-regional and inter-basin water transfer has also attracted the general attention of 600,000 people in Dianqu.
Reporter: Have you heard that Baiyangdian is going to release water?
Villagers in Wangjiazhai, Anxin County: I heard! Looking forward to it; It is always said that water is always missing, and it is always anxious!
Reporter: What are the benefits of water?
Villagers in Wangjiazhai, Anxin County: Good! We can't live without water!
Ma Yuping, a villager in Zaolinzhuang Village, Renqiu City: The state has invested so much money to send water, and we will have jobs!
Reporter: Do you know about the coming water?
Ma Yuping, a villager in Zaolinzhuang Village, Renqiu City: I know that water is coming! Happy! We are now preparing for the coming water!
Actual sound: Expert of Hebei Provincial Water Resources Department:
This trans-regional and inter-basin water transfer is of great significance to fundamentally change the water shortage in Baiyangdian Lake. According to the existing engineering system in Haihe River Basin and the characteristics of rainfall distribution in recent years, make full use of the existing engineering, and realize the transformation from flood season dispatching to year-round dispatching, from flood dispatching to water resources dispatching, and from local river system dispatching to cross-river system dispatching by tapping the dispatching potential. Through optimal allocation, it embodies a brand-new concept of resource water conservancy, ecological water conservancy, sustainable development water conservancy, optimal allocation of water resources and scientific dispatching.
It is understood that the incoming water of159 million cubic meters will make Baiyangdian temporarily get rid of the threat of dry lake, maintain the prosperity of tourism and ensure the production and life of 600,000 people around the lake area. At the same time, the groundwater in 22 counties along the water transfer will be replenished in large quantities, which will promote agricultural production along the water transfer and increase grain production134 million kg.
According to the authoritative personage of the Ministry of Water Resources, the biggest benefit of the project of "Diversion from Yue to Ji Dian" is ecological and environmental benefits. Water transfer will provide good growth conditions for aquatic plants in Baiyangdian Lake, which is of great significance for protecting the species diversity of Baiyangdian Lake and improving the microclimate in North China.

South-to-North Water Transfer Project: Far water is difficult to solve near thirst
[Moderator Insert D] The project of "diverting Yue into Lake" has alleviated the shortage of water resources in Baiyangdian to a certain extent. However, the shortage of water resources in Baiyangdian is only a microcosm of the shortage of water resources in our province, and the shortage of water in Cangzhou and Handan in our province is also very prominent. The increasingly scarce water resources have seriously restricted the economic development in North China. In order to alleviate this problem, the state has started the South-to-North Water Transfer Project.
On June 5, 2000, the overall pattern of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project was defined as three routes: the west route, the middle route and the east route, which diverted water from the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin respectively. On February 3, 2003 1 February 31,the inverted siphon project of Hutuo River started, marking the official start of Hebei section of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project transfers water from Danjiangkou Reservoir in Hubei, passes through Henan and Hebei, and finally flows to Beijing. Then, what role can the mid-line project play in alleviating the shortage of water resources in Hebei Province? To this end, the column reporter conducted an in-depth investigation.
Reporter: Audience friends, I am now in Jiangwu Town, Cixian County, Handan. This is the first stop of the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer from Henan to Hebei.
Reporter: Do you know anything about the South-to-North Water Transfer Project?
Villagers in Nanying Village: Yes.
Reporter: It seems that the South-to-North Water Transfer Project (the Middle Route Project) entered Jiangwu Town, Cixian County, Hebei Province from Henan Province as the first stop?
Villagers in Nanying Village: Oh, right. The southernmost part of Hebei Province.
When dubbing mentioned the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, local villagers were very eager for it to arrive as soon as possible, so as to alleviate their current difficulty in draught. His name is Jiang Zhenlu, the village party secretary of Jiang Sanling Village, Handan County, Handan City. In addition to dealing with the daily affairs of the village, he also has a special task, which is to distribute drinking water to the whole village regularly.
Reporter: Is this the well?
Jiang Zhenlu, branch secretary of Jiang Sanling Village: This is a well.
Reporter: How deep is this?
Jiang Zhenlu, branch secretary of Jiang Sanling Village: It is 650 meters down.
Reporter: 650 meters, so deep?
Jiang Zhenlu, the branch secretary of Jiang Sanling Village: Yes.
Dubbing Jiang Sanling Village is located in the plain of North China, so why do they want to exploit deep groundwater?
Jiang Zhenlu, branch secretary of Jiang Sanling village: There is water over 650 meters, but it is not good for people to drink. The surface water here is high in fluorine.
Reporter: High fluorine content means that water below 650 meters can be drunk?
Jiang Zhenlu, the branch secretary of Jiang Sanling Village: The surface water is completely closed.
Dubbing in the villagers' homes, the reporter saw that there is a small well in each yard to store water, and the water will be used by the whole family for a week.
Jiang Zhenlu, secretary of the village of Jiang Sanling: From the perspective of geological exploration, we belong to the waterless area together, including the power in the county. After several eyes, this eye is a little water.
Although dubbing 650 meters belongs to deep groundwater, the water quality is good, but the amount of water here is very small, which can not guarantee the villagers to use it every day. To this end, farming by villagers in this area has also become a problem.
Villagers in Jiangsanling Village: You can't do anything without water. Now it's up to the sky. After plowing the ground, you can plant it if it rains. If it doesn't rain, you can't plant it.
It's spring, and it's busy farming season. The cultivated land that has rested for a winter has been dug up. The hard-working farmers have been farming here all the year round. In addition to hoping that it will rain more, their only hope is that the water from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will arrive as soon as possible.
Fade to Black
Reporter: Audience friends, I am now in Jiangsanling Village, Handan County, and this stone pier beside me marks that the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer will pass through here.
After the dubbing left here, the reporter went to Xingtai City to investigate along the signs. Xingtai City is the second stop of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project in Hebei Province. The reporter learned in interviews along the way that the drought here is also very serious.
Reporter: Audience friends, I am now in Baiquan Irrigation District in the southeast of Xingtai City. The village behind me is Baiquan Village. In the past, Baiquan Village was surrounded by springs, and the scenery was very beautiful. In recent years, due to over-exploitation of groundwater, the beautiful scenery here no longer exists.
Dubbing Baiquan is a spring irrigation area with a long history. Spring water can irrigate 36 villages, more than 50,000 mu of cultivated land, and it is a scenery of "the north of the country and the south of the Yangtze River". However, with the increasing water consumption in Xingtai City, all these beautiful scenery no longer exists. What we see now are thirsty puddles.
Villagers in Baiquan Village: It used to be here. At that time, it was a whole reed field, with a big pit in it, which was reed field. There were springs everywhere, so we couldn't go this way.
Villagers in Baiquan Village: Before washing clothes, they washed them in the river.
Reporter: There is no such feeling now, is there?
Villagers in Baiquan Village: I don't have that chance.
Dubbing According to villagers, water used to gush out as soon as a shovel went down, but now even if you dig up 10 meter, you can't see Shui Ying, so it's very difficult to draft.
Zhao, director of Xingtai Water Conservancy Bureau: However, after the 1980s, due to successive years of drought and over-exploitation of groundwater, Baiquan was cut off, and there was no water in this underground, which has become a typical drought in China.
According to the reporter's understanding from Xingtai Water Conservancy Bureau, the total water resources in Xingtai City is1250 million cubic meters, and the water shortage ranks second from the bottom in Hebei Province. Due to drought and over-exploitation of groundwater for years, there have been serious geological disasters in Xingtai.
Zhao, director of Xingtai Water Conservancy Bureau: In 1999, a dry crack with a length of 2.5 kilometers, a width of 0.3 meters and a depth of more than 3 meters was produced in Nanwangzhuang, Baixiang County. After identification by geological experts, it was caused by years of over-exploitation of groundwater and drought. The second is the big funnel in Nangong, wei county and Julu. Due to the decline of groundwater, the ground subsidence occurred. From 58 to 88, the total decline was 600 mm, and the annual decline rate was 20 mm.
Dubbing water shortage, drought and over-exploitation of groundwater are very common in Hebei province. These areas interviewed by reporters along the way are worried about water, and they are all looking forward to the early arrival of water from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to alleviate our current situation as soon as possible.
Voice: Zhao Cunliang, director of Xingtai Water Conservancy Bureau: After this water comes, we can probably spare 350 million cubic meters of groundwater in Xingtai City, and develop water-saving irrigation, which can develop 2.5 million mu of water-saving irrigation area.
Voice: Liu Haixu, Director of the South-to-North Water Transfer Office in Handan City: First of all, it is hard to draw water from the river. First of all, we should give priority to the use of the river, make full use of it, and use it where we are in urgent need of water. Secondly, we should limit the exploitation of groundwater.
Next section notice
Can the long-awaited South-to-North Water Transfer Project really change the water shortage dilemma in North China?
Qi Haiqing, Director of Anxin County Water Affairs Bureau: A long-term mechanism should be established to solve the water crisis.
Where is the fundamental way to solve the shortage of water resources by transferring water and replenishing water? Please continue to pay attention to the special program of World Water Day-Harmony between People and Water.
3 ? 22 World Water Day Special Program 4-
Harmony between man and water
In order to actively cooperate with the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in our province, recently, many units such as the Provincial Youth League Committee, the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau and the Provincial Water Resources Department held a "drinking the same river and protecting the mother river" Yanzhao Green Tour. The activity was publicized along the route of Hebei section of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. When our reporters interviewed along the route, they heard the most words: "The South-to-North Water Diversion Project will come quickly, and it will not be a problem for us to eat water when we come." Then, how much water is allocated to Hebei by the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, and can it alleviate the current situation of water shortage in our province?
The dubbing reporter learned from the Water Resources Department of Hebei Province that the total water transfer of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project is 130 billion cubic meters, and the amount allocated to Hebei Province is 3.47 billion cubic meters. Excluding the losses along the way, it is estimated that the water flowing to Hebei is only about 3 billion cubic meters. So what role can this 3 billion cubic meters of water play in alleviating the water shortage problem in Hebei? Combined chart
Lei Zhang, director of the South-to-North Water Diversion Office of Hebei Provincial Water Resources Department: In the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the total water resources available in Hebei Province is about170-18 billion cubic meters, so after the transfer of 3 billion cubic meters of water, it is equivalent to16 of the total annual available water resources, which adds a lot to the water resources in Hebei Province.
According to China's water conservancy law, reservoirs with water storage capacity above 1 100 million cubic meters belong to large reservoirs. The 3 billion cubic meters of water transferred from the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project is equivalent to building another 30 large reservoirs in Hebei Province. At present, the annual available water resources in our province are about17 billion cubic meters, but the actual water consumption is about 22 billion cubic meters. Nearly 5 billion cubic meters of water can only be used after over-exploitation of groundwater.
Dubbing the South-to-North Water Transfer Project can alleviate the water shortage in North China to some extent. However, the distant water, which arrived a few years later, is obviously an urgent need for the current situation of water shortage and drought in North China.
Chang Hanlin, Hebei Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters: Relying on the South-to-North Water Transfer Project is a very important way and a very important measure, but it can only (temporarily) alleviate the water resources problem in Hebei, but fundamentally it needs the whole society to save water, and it is still impossible to solve the water resources problem without saving water.
The lack of water in North China lies not in the scarcity of precipitation, but in the massive waste of water resources. Compared with the annual precipitation of 200mm in Israel, an extremely water-deficient country in the Middle East, North China is abundant in rain, while Israel's agriculture is world-renowned, but North China suffers from severe drought year after year. Why? It is because many places in North China are stuck in the era of high water consumption agriculture with slash-and-burn and flood irrigation. On the other hand, the city lacks rational planning and the impulse to seek economic great leap forward at the expense of the environment, which is also wasting the already scarce water resources. Many cities in North China are dominated by traditional manufacturing industries, and most of them develop heavy industries with high energy consumption and heavy pollution. The increasingly fragile urban ecology is increasingly difficult to support the increasing water consumption. With the same added value of industry and agriculture, the water consumption in North China is several times that in advanced countries.
At present, many places adopt ladder water price to adjust people's view of water consumption through the role of economic leverage, and finally move towards a water-saving society. As a special commodity in short supply, water price adjustment is only a means, and its purpose is to cultivate the awareness and habits of water saving in the whole society and improve the efficiency of water use.
Interview with sociologist Liang Yong: How do we coordinate the development of water resources and economy, and the coordinated development of man and nature? This is an important connotation of Scientific Outlook on Development.

What should we do if we have no water to adjust and no water to make up? Some analysts believe that after all kinds of wars caused by energy, human beings are fighting for water and causing wars. All kinds of realities convey to us the idea that only when there is harmony between man and nature can we finally realize the sustainable development of society and economy. Still an old saying goes: Don't wait until the last tear of mankind becomes the last drop of water on the earth, and then we will worry about the importance of water resources. In this sense, instead of looking forward to water and water transfer, it is better to start with water conservation around us.
