Satellite View of Yangtze River Delta Integration: Searching for "Green" Yangtze River Delta Ecology | Compensation | Yangtze River Delta
Since the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta became a national strategy in 2018, the region has experienced deep integration and coordinated development. Originating from Mount Huangshan City, Anhui Province, Xin'an River is the largest inbound river in Zhejiang Province, providing more than 60% of the water inflow to Qiandao Lake. In order to achieve the joint protection of one river and two provinces, the two provinces have established the first cross provincial ecological compensation pilot in China. "If the water quality does not meet the standard, the upstream will compensate the downstream; if the water quality meets the standard, the downstream will compensate the upstream", which is vividly known as "water quality gambling".
Now, after three rounds of ecological compensation pilot projects, the Xin'an River Basin has moved towards the construction of the Xin'an River Qiandao Lake ecological protection compensation model area. The two provinces have extended from "ecological co protection" to "industrial co development". While continuously focusing on the improvement of water environment ecological protection, they are accelerating the construction of market-oriented and diversified compensation mechanisms such as funds, industries, and talents, and moving towards a new stage of green development.
