May 11th is the first day of "National Urban Water Saving Publicity Week." The Shanghai Water Supplies Department announced on this day that Shanghai has started to create a water-saving society after becoming a national water-saving city. Currently, Shanghai's water demand per 10,000 yuan output has dropped to 100 cubic meters; and the highest volume of water savings per day comes close to 100,000 cubic meters, according to Xinhua Net.
After Shanghai became one of the first batches of national water-saving cities, it launched a plan to be a comprehensive water-saving society, according to Zhang Jiayi, Director of the Shanghai Water Supplies Department. At present, Shanghai's water demand per 10,000 yuan output has dropped to 100 cubic meters; water consumption of industrial value added per 10,000 yuan has dropped to 154 cubic meters; and efficiency in re-using water among industries has risen to 81.5 percent.
According to reports, in the process of constructing a water-saving society in Shanghai, community volunteers inspect water-saving measures to ensure that landscape water and greenbelt water use as much reclaimed water and rain water as possible. In the construction process, we need to put efforts into network operation and manage meter-reading; improve the efficient use of water and reduce sewage discharge; and recycle industrial waste water and re-use water.
