  On December 21, the Group’s Human Resources Department organized the fourth expert lecture of 2018. This session featured Mr. Zhong Ming, Chairman and General Manager of Beijing Jinhe Water Development Co., Ltd., who delivered a lecture on “Comprehensive Strategies and Technical Approaches for Integrated Management of Water Environment in Small Watersheds.” Zhang Xiaoping, Assistant to the Group President and Director of Human Resources, along with more than 30 headquarters staff members, attended the lecture.


  Mr. Zhong Ming began by interpreting and summarizing the “Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Ecological and Environmental Protection and Resolutely Winning the Battle Against Pollution,” recently issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. He provided a detailed explanation of various categories of watershed pollution sources, including point-source pollution, non-point-source pollution, and internal-source pollution. Subsequently, he shared his insights on governance strategies, investigative research, and technological approaches. He emphasized that promoting comprehensive management of small watersheds should be carried out from four key aspects: "controlling pollution sources, addressing internal sources, restoring ecosystems, and maintaining water quality through live-water circulation." First, all pollution sources entering the river must be thoroughly identified and effectively controlled; then, measures such as ecological restoration and live-water circulation should be implemented to enhance the self-purification capacity of water bodies. Comprehensive management and remediation of small watersheds must be planned and executed in a holistic, watershed-wide manner. On one hand, we need to advance systematic governance, coordinating upstream and downstream areas, both banks, and surface and underground resources, with particular emphasis on controlling pollution at its source, ensuring adequate ecological base flows for water bodies, and accelerating the restoration of natural ecological environments in both water bodies and shorelines. On the other hand, we should take the river chief system and lake chief system as key drivers to expedite the establishment of long-term mechanisms.


  Zhong Ming is a senior engineer, a member of the Urban River Group of the China Society of Water Resources, an expert in water resource and environmental impact assessment for Beijing Municipality, and the Chairman and General Manager of Beijing Jinhe Water Development Co., Ltd. He primarily focuses on the design, construction, and management of hydraulic and hydroelectric engineering projects, and has achieved high academic expertise in the control and remediation of water pollution in lakes and rivers. He has organized and participated in the writing of four specialized monographs on environmental protection, including “Theory of Urban River Pollution Control and Ecological Remediation Technologies.” He has also led the completion of several environmental protection projects, such as Section Jiqing No. 9 of the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Furthermore, he has undertaken the organizational implementation of the county-wide bundled PPP project for rural wastewater treatment in Luhe County, Guangdong Province, as well as the Beijing Mentougou rural wastewater treatment PPP project.
