Recently, a bidding document was sent out from Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, with the destination being the thirsty Loess Plateau in eastern Gansu. The survey and design bidding for the extension and efficiency improvement project of the Tao River with a total investment of 16.8 billion yuan has been officially launched, which means that the blue dotted line that has been drawn on the map for a long time has finally taken the first step towards implementation.

Exploration and exploration of the eastward extension of the water vein ahead of schedule

The project is currently in the stage of proposal and feasibility study, with the core task of understanding the complex geological characteristics of the 785 kilometer water transmission line. The total cost of the 150 kilometer main section west of Liupanshan is about 6.6 billion yuan, and the huge investment of 10.2 billion yuan for the extension section east of Liupanshan requires the design team to plan a water supply corridor spanning two cities and thirteen counties between the loess ridges and hills, in order to solidify the roadbed for subsequent construction.

Crossing mountains and valleys to lock in industrial sources

We will not follow the traditional flood irrigation route and focus on solving the bottlenecks of urban and rural drinking water and industry. The main line, main line, and branch line interweave into a network, extending straight towards Pingliang Kongtong, Qingyang Xifeng, and surrounding areas. Once the water is connected, the production area of Changqing Oilfield and the Longdong Coal Chemical Industry Base will break free from the constraints of water shortage, no longer sighing due to tight water rights indicators, and have a strong foundation for attracting investment.

Reshaping the Development Pattern of Longdong Territory

The economic scale of Pingliang and Qingyang accounts for the majority of the eastern part of Gansu, but they are constantly struggling due to water. This project is sprinting towards the national 15th Five Year Plan for Water Security and the list of major strategic projects. In the long run, it is also planned to use the Bai Ji Tao River to call on the indicators of the Yangtze River Basin. Once the underground dragon is connected, the faucet on Dong Zhiyuan will no longer be a decoration, and the balance of regional development will quietly tilt as a result.Editor/Gao Xue
