Rural drinking water renovation

Rural drinking water renovation project alleviates water shortage in rural areas

Domestic drinking water refers to water used for human consumption and daily life, including personal hygiene water, but excluding water used by aquatic organisms (such as fish farming) and water for special purposes. The latest standard for drinking water is the "Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water" issued in 2006, which includes four categories of indicators for controlling the hygiene and safety of drinking water: microbiological indicators; Sensory properties and general chemical indicators of water; Toxicological indicators; Radioactive indicators.

During the 12th Five Year Plan period, China's poverty-stricken areas organized a total of 237.5 billion yuan in central water conservancy investment, accounting for 31.7% of the total scale of central water conservancy investment. The construction of drinking water safety projects, farmland water conservancy construction, flood control, drought resistance and disaster reduction projects, water conservation ecological projects, rural hydropower and drinking water treatment projects in poverty-stricken areas has significantly accelerated.

The relevant treatment projects for rural drinking water are important livelihood projects in poverty-stricken areas and have always been one of the main challenges addressed by the Ministry of Water Resources.

The Ministry of Water Resources has organized the compilation of the "Thirteenth Five Year Plan" for the National Rural Drinking Water Safety Consolidation and Improvement Project, which aims to comprehensively solve the problem of drinking water safety in poverty-stricken areas by 2020, and strive to increase the proportion of rural centralized water supply population in poverty-stricken counties to about 80%.
