From the city to the town, the rivers are quietly changing, and the beads form a chain to outline the ecological background of the green and beautiful Zhongshan. From point to surface, after two years of struggle, among the 1,041 rivers in Zhongshan, the black and smelly rivers have decreased by more than half compared with the central governor (i.e., "** ecological and environmental protection inspectors") in 2021;Of the 8 Yangdu rivers, 7 have basically achieved no black or smelly.
It is difficult to make a forest alone, and behind the improvement of the environmental system of Zhongshan Water is the embodiment of the effectiveness of integrated reform. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 15th Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee proposed that Zhongshan should make every effort to promote high-quality development and integrated reform, and resolutely break the bottles and cans. Focusing on the "Millions and Millions Project", Zhongshan has made bold explorations in key areas such as ecological and environmental protection, and accelerated the formation of a number of creative and leading reforms.

The river chief system promotes "river chief governance".
As in the past, grid worker Feng Jicheng walked on the bank of the Shiqi River, paying attention to the changes in the water quality of the river and checking the sewage discharge in the surrounding area. Not long ago, Feng Jicheng found during his daily inspection that a new self-service car wash had opened in Dongming Garden, Shiqi Street, but the on-site drainage pipe network of the car wash was not properly connected to the sewage pipe. Therefore, Feng Jicheng reported this information to the sub-district river chief's office and water control office in a timely manner through the "Guangdong Smart River Chief" platform.
After receiving the notice, the Shiqi Sub-district River Chief's Office and the Water Control Office led various functional departments to jointly enforce the law against the car wash, conduct legal education and publicity on the owner, and order rectification within a time limit. At present, the car wash has been rectified in accordance with the regulations, and has applied for a pollutant discharge permit in accordance with the regulations.
Feng Jicheng is the epitome of Shiqi Street's "River Chief + Water Control" grid management responsibility system. Since last year, Zhongshan has innovatively implemented the "river chief + water control" mechanism. On the one hand, the city issued the "Zhongshan River Management Measures" in the form of a ** order, and issued the "Zhongshan City Drainage Permit Issuance Plan" in the form of a municipal river chief order, which provides a solid legal guarantee for the river chief system.
On the other hand, Zhongshan has actively revised the assessment methods for the work of the river and lake chief system, issued the annual assessment plan for the river and lake chief system and the special assessment of water pollution control, and clarified that water pollution control accounts for 50% of the river chief assessment, so as to further improve the reward and subsidy accountability mechanism, and include the river and lake chief system assessment into the assessment of the leading groups of municipal departments and towns and streets.
Zhongshan's combination of the river chief system and water control is to better coordinate the city's forces and promote the battle of water pollution control. Taking Shiqi Street as an example, the street has built a grid management responsibility system of "river chief + water control", forming a working pattern of "river chief co-ordination, grid supervision, department reporting, and river basin improvement", giving full play to the advantages of the grid staff at the grassroots level in river and lake protection and water pollution control, and finding that the problem of water pollution extends from the river to the inland, and it is more effective to solve it from the source.
There are many grid workers like Feng Jicheng in Shiqi Street. At present, 19 communities in Shiqi Street are divided into 122 grassroots grids, equipped with 122 full-time grid workers and 8 full-time water control supervisors (coordinators). Up to now, more than 5,000 river chiefs at the Shiqi street and community levels have patrolled the river, more than 40,000 annual grid inspections, and more than 500 rectification problems have been found and implemented.
What changes have the river chiefs and grid workers who are active on the banks of the embankment brought to the river surge?
The data shows that the water quality of Shiqi Street River Chung has improved significantly compared with last year, and the 15 rivers in the jurisdiction have basically achieved no black and no odor, of which the water quality of Qijiang River, Yuanfeng Xinchong, Lianxingchong, and Qitouyong has reached four categories, and there are two water quality in five categories.
In order to fully implement the river and lake chief system, the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee attach great importance to it, with Guo Wenhai, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, serving as the city's first chief river and lake chief, and Xiao Zhanxin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and mayor, serving as the city's chief river and lake chief.
The city's first chief river chief and chief river chief must see and ask every time they go down to the town and street, and they have repeatedly made surprise inspections in the way of "four noes and two straights" to supervise progress, check problems, and grasp rectification. The city, town and village river and lake chiefs adhere to the problem orientation, and the city's river and lake chiefs carry out a total of about 5 river patrols throughout the year50,000 times, the river patrol situation and the rectification of problems found are regularly announced.
Since the beginning of this year, the mechanism innovation has been gradually expanded, and Zhongshan has innovatively implemented the "river chief + water control" supervision and supervision system, and established 206 supervision and supervision issues and 6 types of interview and notification standardsInnovate and build a grid management system of "river chief + water control", integrate the strength of the city's river and lake chiefs, grid members, and water control supervisors, integrate water control work into the provincial smart river chief system and local comprehensive management platform, and promote "river chief governance" with the river chief system.
Municipalities share the "responsibility for water management".
As of December this year, Zhongshan had issued five general river chief orders to the city, covering all aspects of reservoir and river dredging, drainage channel clearance, river and lake cleaning, shoreline improvement, and drainage permits.
Among them, the general river chief's order issued in September last year proposed for the first time to "adhere to the co-governance of cities and towns, and resolutely shoulder the heavy political responsibility of water pollution control." ”
Why do we emphasize the joint efforts of municipalities and towns to shoulder the responsibility of water control?
As a long-term, complex and wide-ranging system project, there are more than 200 related service units. It is difficult to accomplish the heavy task by relying only on one or two units and departments, and only by continuously increasing the intensity of coordinated operations at the municipal and town levels, and each performing its own duties and responsibilities, and consolidating responsibilities at all levels, can we ensure the steady, orderly, and efficient progress of all work.
In order to put the "town co-governance" from paper to practice, Zhongshan issued the "Plan for Optimizing and Adjusting the Construction and Management of Water Remediation Projects that Do Not Meet the Standards", which clearly aimed at the "water control" work, and required the city to be responsible for technical support, overall coordination, and guidance servicesThe town and street should shoulder the main responsibility of ensuring the speed, quality and safety of the project. Each town and street should be clear about the governance of each river in its jurisdiction, including the technical path, difficult nodes, timing progress, etc.
This seemingly ordinary optimization and adjustment plan is actually a "water control responsibility table" shared by cadres at the municipal and town levels, and it is also an integrated reform of water control carried out by Zhongshan.
As water pollution control moves into deep waters, piecemeal adjustments are often ineffective. It is often not enough to rely on the individual operations of a certain unit or organization or the combination of several departments. It is necessary to rely on integrated reform and governance to break the model of cities, towns, villages and departments working independently and fighting alone.
When the joint efforts of the cities and towns became a consensus, a "big corps operation" across 14 river basins and covering 23 towns and streets in the city took a solid step.
The villagers "raised signs" for acceptance.
Pass!Huang Youming, the representative of the villagers of Xiasha Village, raised the acceptance card in his hand for the third time to accept the construction of the rural domestic sewage branch pipe to the household. "Digging trenches, padding sand, tamping, burying pipes......In the 30 days since the start of construction, I have been walking around the construction site every day and have become an 'expert'. Huang Youming said.
In Zhongshan, each agricultural pollution control project construction process will be carried out synchronously to carry out the acceptance work, in the acceptance of the key processes in the construction process of the agricultural pollution control project need to supervise, build, construction, village committee representatives of the four responsible subjects present, take photos, video and other means to record the construction quality management measures of project acceptance.
In Xiasha Village, for example, since the entry of the rural domestic sewage branch pipe to the household project, the village has set up a quality supervision team composed of village committee and villager representatives to participate in the construction of the project and be responsible for the supervision of the project full-time. "From the entry of materials, the construction of the project to the restoration of the road surface, every link needs to be accepted and signed by the villager supervision team. Huang Youming pointed to the sample of building materials sealed in the corner of the wall and said, "The villagers' representatives participated in the whole process of the project construction, and they are more confident in the quality of the water control project." ”
At present, Nanlang Street has established a multi-level supervision system for the construction of rural domestic sewage treatment projects of "agent builder - supervision unit - Agriculture and Rural Bureau - village committee - village group - masses", and there is also discipline inspection and supervision, and supervision by people's congress deputies. Through the implementation of the "sign-up acceptance" system, to ensure that the construction is carried out according to the drawings, and the quality management of the project is strengthened.
Villagers have become the "acceptors" of the project, making the effect of agricultural pollution treatment more popular with the people. In the process of promoting rural domestic sewage treatment, Chongkou Village, Nanlang Street, as a pilot implementation of the "state-owned enterprise construction + rural craftsman" model. After systematic training and technical disclosure, the farmer construction team composed of villagers in the village officially took up their posts and became an important member of the agricultural pollution control project in Chongkou Village. Relying on this newly appointed "farmer construction team", the construction party quickly grasped the topography of the village, cleared the map of the "sewage outlet" in the village, and flexibly adjusted the construction route, which greatly saved the construction time and made the construction period end early. The person in charge of the construction party sighed: "Whether the construction is fast or not, in fact, the key depends on whether the villagers cooperate." As long as the villagers cooperate, more than half of it has been successful. ”
From the issuance of the river chief's order to the whole city, the coordination of multiple forces to jointly manage rivers and lakes, to the joint efforts of cities and towns to shoulder the responsibility of water control, multi-department coordinated operations, and then to the villagers to actively participate in water control and share the results of water control, this reflects Zhongshan's determination to integrate reform: gnaw the "hard bone" of water pollution control, and return the people of Zhongshan to a clear water and green shores.
Front-line practice. Water control and "Internet celebrity spots".
Daxi River rejuvenation.
In the early morning of winter, there is a burst of melodious music by the Daxi River.
Uncle Meng, who lives nearby, stood by the wooden bridge in Daxi Park, looking at the rippling blue river, holding a microphone and singing a familiar old song. In the gazebo not far away, there are old people singing tactful Cantonese opera and playing guitar accompaniment. Residents in the surrounding area walk along the circular trail by the river, take a break in the water, fishing, and resting.
The beautiful Daxi Park has become the "Internet celebrity check-in point" of Nanlang Street. Since 2023, Cuiheng New District (Nanlang Street) has comprehensively carried out the "six pollution treatment" to promote water pollution control "one by one". The continuous release of "ecological dividends" has made "Internet celebrity parks" and "Internet celebrity villages" spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
The sewage river has become a "net red spot".
Serving 50,000 people in the surrounding area.
In the early morning of winter, Cheng Zhaolai, the person in charge of Dalingtou Village, set off from home early and came to the small pavilion on the bank of the Daxi River, where he gathered with several "singers". Cheng Zhaolai has a deep understanding of the changes in the Daxi River, "In the past, the Daxi River was dirty and dark, and we would smell the stench when we passed by the river. The river is a rotten field, and there is a lot of garbage, and no one wants to come here. ”
Dalingtou Village is located next to the Daxi River, which has been plagued by pollution for many years, and has once become a "heart disease" for the people of Dalingtou Village and even Nanlang. Since 2020, Nanlang Sub-district has organized six town and street departments, including the Sub-district River Chief's Office, the Sub-district Water Affairs Center, the Sub-district Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, and the Sub-district Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, to set up a command center focusing on solving the problem of water pollution control.
On September 1, 2021, the construction of the Daxi River sewage interception project began. A year later, living up to expectations, the Daxi River substandard water treatment and sewage interception project became one of the first batch of substandard water treatment projects completed by the Zhongshan non-central group. The water quality of the river has also been improved from inferior to class and above.
The villagers were pleasantly surprised to find that the Daxi River, which was once rippling with blue waves and clear water, has returned!What makes them even happier is that along the banks of the Daxi River, more leisure facilities are constantly improving.
Nowadays, walking into Daxi Park, citizens can experience the water along the two circular trails in the shape of "8". The outer ring trail is distributed along the shoreline of Daxi, and many water-friendly platforms are set up along the way, so that the public can take a stroll and take a break and fish along the river. The inner ring trail extends all the way into the interior of the park, and the beautiful garden landscape is carefully designed, walking in it, one step at a time. Every weekend, many parent-child families will come to Daxi Park to camp and walk along the river.
Now it has changed so much, the environment is very beautiful, and it looks much more comfortable!Our villagers sing, dance and walk here every day, especially at night!Cheng Zhaolai gave a thumbs up again and again. Aunt Lin, who lives nearby, said with a smile, "I usually like to come here to sing two songs whenever I have free time, and I have also met a lot of 'singing friends' and formed a small 'singing club'." ”
Do "live" ecological economy.
"Governance of the highland of travel and tourism."
With the Daxi River as a demonstration site, Nanlang Street is building more rivers into a new space for citizens to enjoy water. According to reports, at present, the improvement project of the first river bank line in the center is progressing in an orderly manner, and new forms of cultural tourism such as cafes, glass book houses, and restaurants will be introduced in the future. "After the improvement of the water environment, many businesses and enterprises took the initiative to connect with us. We are also planning to cooperate with Dalingtou Village to build a riverside camping base, and promote the development of the village's collective economy with cultural tourism projects. Wang Huayu, executive deputy director of the Nanlang Street River Chief Office, said.
The effectiveness of rural domestic sewage treatment has also brought more high-quality cultural tourism projects and high-end cultural tourism formats to the village. Xu Xing, member of the Party Working Committee of Cuiheng New District, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the office of Nanlang Street, said that after Yakou Village and Zuobu Village completed the rural domestic sewage treatment project, the number of tourists increased by more than 3 times. In 2023, Yakou Village will hold a floating color food and culture festival, and Zuobu Village will hold a golden earth ** meeting, with 50,000-80,000 tourists coming to see and experience, bringing more opportunities for local villagers to get rich.
At the beginning of December, the expansion project of Hengmen Sewage Treatment Plant in Nanlang Street was completed. The completion of the project will bring the sewage treatment capacity of Hengmen Sewage Treatment Plant to 100,000 tons per day. After the official opening of the water, the sewage collected by the interception pipeline will be treated through this powerful "heart".
The high-quality ecological environment is a valuable resource for Nanlang Street to help integrate Shenzhen and China into the development of the Greater Bay Area. Xu Xing introduced that since the beginning of this year, the investment in investment promotion projects in Nanlang Street has reached 18 billion yuan, which is the dividend brought by the improvement of the entire ecological environment. In the future, Cuiheng New District (Nanlang Street) will give better play to its ecological advantages, "live" the ecological economy, undertake more high-quality industrial resources on the east bank of the Pearl River, and attract more tourists from the Greater Bay Area to Nanlang for sightseeing.
