CHINA-SHANXI-RUICHENG-WATER LIFTING PROJECT (CN)

(231003) -- RUICHENG, Oct. 3, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Sept. 21, 2023 shows the Dayudu water lifting project in Ruicheng County of Yuncheng City, north China's Shanxi Province. Dayudu of Ruicheng County is named after Dayu, a legendary Chinese flood control hero who had lived and worked there more than 4,000 years ago. Overlooking the Yellow River, local residents used to suffer from drought for a long time until the Dayudu water lifting project was set up in the 1970s. Pumping stations at the irrigation area in Dayudu have witnessed constant upgrading, expansion and transformation in recent years to satisfy growing need for water, and Ruicheng itself has also turned a leading grain-producing county in China.

    (240221) -- XIAMEN, Feb. 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on Jan. 24, 2024 shows a view of the Bailuzhou Park beside the Yundang Lake in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province. The Yundang Lake basin covers an area of 37 square km. Once a harbor connected to the sea, it was well known for its fishing culture. In the 1970s, people reclaimed land from the sea in order to increase grain production, and Yundang became an inner lake. As the population and factories increased, water pollution grew steadily. Industrial wastewater from over 100 factories was discharged directly into the lake, together with untreated sewage from hundreds of thousands of local residents. In the mid-to-late 1980s, various measures were implemented to turn the tide and restore the lake to its former state of health. Industrial enterprises around the lake were all shut down and relocated, sewage plants were built, and seawater was channeled into the lake to revitalize the water body. With the efforts over the p
