BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — China will expand its water resources monitoring network system to include more than 200 additional small and micro-reservoirs and aquatic ecosystem indicators during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said Tuesday.
China has achieved positive results in keeping water resources clean, Jiang Hohua, head of the aforementioned department's Department of Aquatic Ecosystems and Environment, said at a press conference on Tuesday.
According to him, in the first half of 2025, the share of surface water bodies with water quality from class 1 to 3 on the five-level water quality control scale in the country reached 89 percent, which significantly exceeded the target set for the 14th Five-Year Plan /2021-2025/.
From 2015 to 2024, the proportion of surface water bodies with water quality of grades 1 to 3 increased from 64.5 percent to 90.4 percent, marking nine consecutive years of improvement in water quality, Jiang Huohua added.
The head of the department noted that during the 15th five-year plan, the water resources monitoring network will cover not only large rivers, but also their tributaries, small and micro-reservoirs, in order to more fully reflect the state of water bodies near residential areas.
Jiang Huohua stressed that when setting goals for aquatic ecosystems, it is necessary to take into account the corresponding indicators of aquatic ecology along with physical and chemical indicators in order to more fully reflect the state of aquatic ecosystems. –0–
