In the afternoon of winter, coming to Gaoqiao Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City, and walking on the bank of the Xitang River, which is known as the “Ningbo West Living Room”. You will sew the clear water in the sunshine, and construct with the neighboring houses, and you will see the elegant and graceful sceneries of water towns in southern Yangtze River.
 
In ancient times, it was dominated by water transport, the Zhedong Grand Canal was an important waterway to connect Ningbo with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The last section of the canal that arrived in Mingzhou Fucheng was the Xitang River. The Xitang River in Gaoqiao Town has a total length of 7.3 kilometers, and there are about 30 tributaries on both sides. The coastal area involves 8 administrative villages and 1 fishing agency.
 
However, who can think of it, the Xitang River was known as the "problem river" a few years ago. Affected by factors such as population expansion and rapid urban development and construction, there were piles of construction waste on both sides of the Xitang River. The mud invaded the original five- or six-meter deep riverbed. The shallow water was even less than one or two meters, and the water quality has stayed inferior five for many years. "The turbid weather, the weather is sultry, it smells unpleasant, people can't bear to look straight" " the river can swim beofore, the river can wash rice, however even the clothes don't dare to wash it", "Mother River" Xitang River once become a pain in the hearts of local residents.
 
The change was begun in 2014. In response to the call of the provincial and provincial government's “five-water joint governance” water environment management, in order to completely change the face of the Xitang River in the extension of the Zhedong Grand Canal, in 2014, Gaoqiao Town was determined to start a three-year battle over water control. . It has invested 320 million yuan to carry out the Xitang River water environment comprehensive treatment and landscape improvement project, and carried out the entire Xitang River governance through river dredging, fishery facilities remediation, demolition and illegal construction, water environment engineering, sewage pipe network construction, and aquatic plant planting.
 
In order to ensure the long-term management quality of clear water and beautiful shores, Gaoqiao Town fully implements the “The River Chief System”, they invest more than 2 million yuan per year for river cleaning in the town, with 32 cleaning staff and 15 cleaning vessels, and then establish a solid and long term cleaning inspection mechanism. Through comprehensive management and ecological restoration, the Millennium Pond River has renewed its vitality, and has built a new look of water and green town. The local living environment has been completely renewed. It was used a large amount of silt curtains for controlling and cleaning the sewage and silt.
