By the 28th, the water depth in the east of this 3.5km long river had reached10cm. According to the engineer, more than a month later, a beautiful scenery will be formed in the section of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway from the east to the mouth of the Hutuo River, with a water depth of 50 cm and a water surface of 700,000 square meters. It is understood that the transformation of Chahe River is a key project for the ecological development and improvement of the entire Hutuo River, and it is also a leading project for the construction, ecological restoration and environmental improvement of the water system around Hebei Province in the future.
Since the project started in 2003, it has successively implemented projects such as river interception, sewage pipe network laying, mountain piling greening and river bank reconstruction. At the same time, in spring and winter, the provincial capital was organized to carry out large-scale voluntary tree planting activities along the Hutuo River, and shelter forests such as "Bayi Forest", "Weishilin" and "Jindun Forest" were built, with remarkable results. The reporter saw at the site of the Chahe River project that the old scene of cross-flow of sewage, mountains of garbage and overgrown weeds disappeared and was replaced by neat and orderly rivers and clear and wide water surfaces on both sides of the strait. The breeze is blowing, and the water in the sun is slightly glowing.
Many residents walked along the river bank with smiles on their faces. A Mr. Su from Xinle said happily, "I have been working nearby for almost two years and watch it every day." Now that there is water, it becomes more beautiful. "At present, the 4.3-kilometer river project in the western section of the Chahe Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is stepping up construction. The civil works and supporting pipe network works of the eastern sewage treatment plant and the greening and beautification works on both sides of the river were also completed during the year. By the end of this year, the river from ZhaoLingpu Village Village in the west to Hutuo River in the east will form an overall water landscape with a total length of 7.8 kilometers. By then, the Hutuo River renovation project will form a riverside landscape line featuring water, dotted with green belts, built by water and surrounded by mountains, and become a country park in Shijiazhuang.
