The Information Office of the People's Government of Hebei Province held a press conference on the afternoon of 12. Gao said at the meeting that Hebei province is a typical resource-based water shortage province, and the per capita water resources are only one seventh of the national average. Due to the lack of water resources, the province has over-exploited 65.438+05 billion cubic meters of groundwater in recent 30 years, with an over-exploited area of 67,000 square kilometers, making it the largest groundwater funnel area in China.
In 20 14, with the consent of the State Council, China, it was decided to carry out a pilot project of comprehensive management of groundwater overexploitation in Hebei, with the main task of solving the problem of groundwater overexploitation in North China and accumulating experience for promoting the management of groundwater overexploitation.
Gao introduced that since the pilot project was launched, Hebei Province has invested a total of 24.46 billion yuan in three years and achieved remarkable results:
First, the downward trend of groundwater level has been effectively alleviated. The cumulative underground hydraulic capacity in the experimental area for three years is 3.87 billion cubic meters. In 20 15 years, the deep groundwater level in Hebei stopped falling and rose, from an average annual decline of 1.54 m before treatment to an average annual increase of 0.22 m after treatment. In 20 16 years, the shallow and deep groundwater levels in Hebei province rose by 0.58 m and 0.7 m respectively. ..
Second, the problem of groundwater overexploitation has been controlled. Hebei promoted 6,543,800 mu of water-saving wheat. Develop high-efficiency water-saving irrigation area of 6.5438+0.058 million mu, and improve agricultural water use efficiency by 20%.
The third is to form a comprehensive management model of "scientific planning, pricing, combination of control and management, internal control and external introduction, and comprehensive policy" for groundwater overexploitation.
