Ningbo intensifies efforts in recycled water use

On May 29th, the personnel at Fenghua Riverside Ecological Park carried out their routine watering of the greenery, but this time they utilized recycled water.

Spanning an area of 60,000 square meters, the Ecological Park is home to over 70 plant species. The park's irrigation system is connected to the Changfeng Pure Water Treatment Plant, which supplies recycled water for nurturing the plants and toilet facilities. Along the park trail, one can spot several signs that read "Recycled Water Outlet," and recycled water inlets are conveniently placed every 50 meters.

In a similar initiative, Yongjiang Park has also embraced the use of recycled water for irrigation. Zhou Kefan from the Business Development Department of the Drainage Company of Ningbo Water and Environment Group stated, "The recycled water used in the park mainly comes from the Fuming Pure Water Treatment Plant. By substituting tap water with recycled water, the park is able to save approximately 100 tons of tap water daily."

Additionally, the green belt located in the central area of the South Ring Elevated Road (Ningnan North Road-Zhilan Bridge) has implemented a drip irrigation system using recycled water. Zhou Kefan further explained, "The drip irrigation system is fully automated and can be controlled remotely to determine the start time and duration of irrigation."

As of now, Ningbo has three pilot projects for recycled water irrigation, estimated to save 150,000 tons of water annually. This amount is equivalent to the water consumption of 900 households in a year.

As one of the pioneering Chinese cities in implementing the utilization and allocation of recycled water in various areas, Ningbo sets an example by using recycled water for river ecological replenishment, industrial water sources, finished industrial water, and municipal miscellaneous water. Last year, the city achieved a recycled water usage of 180 million cubic meters, with a utilization rate of 21.7%
