Hey there! Did you know that in 2024, China made a huge splash by investing a record 1.35 trillion yuan (that’s about $188 billion) in water projects? 💧 That’s a lot of money!
They worked on 47,000 water projects this year. Imagine 47,000 big projects all helping with things like preventing floods and making sure people have enough water to drink and use every day. 🏞️🏗️
In the countryside, they completed over 20,000 water supply projects. These projects helped more than 100 million people in rural areas get better access to clean water. That’s like helping almost three times the population of Canada! 🏘️🚰
China also worked on saving underground water. They reduced the extra water taken from the ground by nearly 32% compared to ten years ago. This helps keep the environment healthy. 🌍💚
They continued to fight against soil and water loss by treating an extra 64,000 square kilometers of land in 2024. That’s an area bigger than countries like Sri Lanka! 🌳🌱
All these efforts show how important water is and how taking care of it helps everyone. Isn’t that cool? 😊
