BEIJING, October 22 (Xinhua) — By the end of September 2025, China had made progress in restoring 88 key rivers and lakes across the country, ensuring continuous flow in riverbeds that had remained dry for decades, the Ministry of Water Resources announced on Wednesday.
These results were achieved within the framework of a national action plan for the restoration of major rivers and lakes for 2022-2025. Individual recovery plans were developed for each river and lake, taking into account their specific needs.
Among the most significant achievements are maintaining a continuous flow in the Yellow River for 26 consecutive years, as well as restoring the flow along the entire length of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which had been interrupted for a century. For the past four years, water has flowed steadily again.
In the Haihe River basin, previously plagued by severe water shortages and pollution, systematic restoration measures have reversed the process of ecological degradation. The Yongding River, which had been dry in some sections for 26 years, has now maintained a steady flow for five years, and Baiyangdian Lake, a key wetland in northern China, has maintained a stable water level for seven years.
According to the ministry, in the future, China intends to expand the program to more river and lake basins and develop long-term restoration mechanisms, while continuing to apply a tailored approach to the rehabilitation of river and lake ecosystems. –0–
