Dozens of waterfowl are foraging and playing on the sandbar, which makes people linger. On the silver beach of the greenway, the hydrophilic platform and the plank road by the river, people in twos and threes are taking a leisurely walk and playing Tai Chi, which is very pleasant.

You see, the bird-watching pavilion on the riverside plank road is also under construction. ...
Diving riverside scenery
Chu Xin, a volunteer patrolling the Qianshan River, said: "I think this is because the river is smooth and clear, and the species of the diving river are quite rich, and fish can be seen everywhere; In the sky, sometimes you can see egrets, egrets and all kinds of wild ducks. "
Chu Xin is a post-90 s employee who works in the government department of Qianshan. As a river patrol volunteer, he will take part in a river patrol volunteer activity with a few friends every week, responsible for cleaning up the garbage and maintaining the surrounding environment of the diving river.
Diving is a first-class tributary of Anhui basin and a second-class tributary of the Yangtze River. With dense vegetation and rich life, the diving river is a typical representative of wetland ecosystem. At the same time, this river is also the source of water for the residents of Buried Hill City, and it is called the mother river of Buried Hill.
However, this river has been over-exploited, leading to environmental deterioration.
Cheng, who runs Genting Business Hotel in Scenic Village, Tianzhu Mountain Town, Qian Shan, recalled: "About 15 years ago, this river was full of weeds. Dirty and messy. The environment was very poor in those two years. "

At that time, there were sundries everywhere on the surface of the diving river, silt piled up at the bottom of the river, there were fewer and fewer fish in the river, and all kinds of birds on both sides of the river disappeared. According to Liu Heping, deputy director of Qianshan County Water Conservancy Bureau, in the early days of reform and opening up, people's awareness of environmental protection was weak. Under the extensive economic development model, a large number of sand mining fields and fishing grounds have appeared around the diving river and the river. There are still many tourist catering enterprises and small farmhouses whose emissions are not up to standard.
Liu Heping said, "Neither side of the river is safe. The direct pollution and some infrastructure pollution caused by collapse, landslide and even sand mining on both sides are more serious. Illegal fishing grounds on both sides of the river have affected the protection of animal and plant resources. Although the restaurant has brought some benefits, the emissions are not up to standard, and the pollution caused is still quite serious. "
The destruction of the mother river not only affects the quality of production and life of the surrounding residents, but also brings hidden dangers to flood control, and people can no longer sit still. In recent years, with the concept of ecological priority deeply rooted in people's hearts, Qianshan City has integrated funds to comprehensively renovate the diving river and explored the successful experience of "five guarantees, four constructions and three returns". Liu Heping said: "The core is to do some protection and construction measures around the river."
There is a scanned QR code on the metal card by the diving river.
Scanning the two-dimensional code on the metal sign on the riverbank shows that in recent years, Qianshan City has invested a total of 525 million yuan to strengthen water resources protection, water environment management, water pollution prevention, water ecological restoration and waterfront management. Taking diving as a pilot project, the river has been cleared through five protection measures, such as no mining, demolition, sewage interception, fish protection and bird love, and four construction measures, such as dike reinforcement, water storage, smooth roads and green dikes.
Liu Heping said: "Our goal is to basically achieve water quality stability in diving treatment. What is Class II water, that is, it can be directly drunk after being pumped out for routine treatment. At present, the water flow and water quality of diving are water that can be directly drunk. "

Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. After the improvement of water environment, Cheng Ding, who runs Genting Business Hotel in Tianzhu Mountain Scenic Area, is one of the beneficiaries. Cheng said: "After the environment improved, I opened a hotel. After the hotel opened, tourists came to see it. When they saw the beautiful scenery here, everyone praised it. Our mountains, water and environment are all good. After dinner, tourists will take a walk along the river. This kind of water is invisible in many cities. " "After opening the hotel, the income has increased significantly. Now our hotel can earn about 65,438+million a year, which is much better than working in a drifting company before! "
Through systematic engineering and standardized management, the comprehensive benefits of flood control, irrigation, water supply and ecology of diving rivers have been obviously improved. Qianshan City has also established a normalized river patrol mechanism to protect this mother river. In addition to the hard measures of "five guarantees and four constructions", the buried hill has also adopted a series of "soft protection" for the diving river.
Lu Wensheng, deputy director of Qianshanhe Management Center, said: "Soft protection means not changing the original appearance and maintaining the natural ecology. For example, at the ecological lake, we don't touch those long aquatic plants now, let them stay the same, let birds and fish swim around, or let them have a natural environment in the cracks of stones without destroying them at all. "
It is understood that this ecological restoration method preserves the original appearance of the environment to the greatest extent. For example, in the process of river embankment renovation, gabion nets are used to replace mortar masonry and fish nest bricks are used to replace concrete tiles, which makes full use of ecological materials, not only strengthens the river embankment, but also plays a role in restoring natural ecology, which is conducive to the growth of aquatic plants, the spawning of fish and shrimp and the habitat of waterfowl.

Lv Wensheng said: "Now the management of the diving river is normal, and people are arranged to patrol the river every day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon."
Xu Shijiang, praised by local people as the most beautiful ecological ranger, began to participate in river patrol from 20 17. After watching the changes in the ecological environment of the diving river for four years, he said, "It has changed a lot now. It used to be all white sand here, but now the vegetation has grown and it has become particularly beautiful. The ideological consciousness of ordinary people has also improved. The government's propaganda is also very strong. "
The 20 17 diving river is listed as a national wetland park (pilot), with deep pools and shoals interlaced and diverse biological environment, which provides places for fish and birds with different habits to lay eggs, inhabit and feed.
Diving River Wetland Park has also established cooperation with Anhui University and Anqing Normal University, relying on the strength of universities and research institutes to carry out basic research and provide technical support for the protection and sustainable utilization of wetland ecology.
Diving River Wetland Signboard
According to Sun, the person in charge of the Diving River National Wetland Park, there are 609 species of vascular plants in the wetland park, including ferns 16, gymnosperms 7, monocotyledons 139 and dicotyledons 447, among which Ginkgo biloba and Metasequoia glyptostroboides are national first-class protected plants. There are also four national second-class protected plants. Wetland is rich in animal resources, and wild animals such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals thrive here, including 3 species of national first-class protected animals and 35 species of national second-class protected wild animals.
In recent years, the Diving River National Wetland Park has also actively carried out publicity and popular science work, especially for young people, and established a "Wetland School" with the local Tianzhu Mountain Central Primary School. February 2nd World Wetland Day, April 1-7 Bird Love Week, Anhui Wetland Day, 1 1.6, etc. Every year, related missionary activities with the theme of wetland protection and environmental protection are organized.
Chen Zerui of Class 60 1 of Tianzhu Mountain Central Primary School said after listening to the lecture on bird protection: "Actually, I was not very interested in birds before. But after this class, I became interested in birds and realized that we should protect birds. "

Jiang Yu, another student of Tianzhu Mountain Central Primary School, once drew a picture of science fiction painting about biological protection in a scientific and technological innovation competition with the theme of environmental protection, and won the first prize of science fiction painting Competition in Qianshan County and the second prize of science fiction painting Competition in Anqing City. Jiang Yu said: "I think those little animals are cute and magical. For example, there is a kind of fish. If the male fish in a school dies, the female fish will become the male fish. Please take care of small animals, they are really cute. "
Jiang Wei, the chief science and technology instructor in Qian Shan, highly praised such popular science activities, saying that it was very helpful for children to establish environmental awareness from an early age: "Let's start from me, protect wild animals, and promote and spread the harmony between man and nature."
