MTL - Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony-Chapter 1229 Environmental Improvement Suggestions
Chapter 1229 Environmental Improvement Suggestions
On August 14th, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan carefully inspected the coal mines, metal mines, metallurgical enterprises, coal processing enterprises and other fields in Shacheng and the surrounding area of Shacheng for several days, and then met with Su Yan again. Let's go back to the Shacheng City Lord's Mansion together, and recall the Shacheng City Lord to talk.
The Shacheng Lord was originally on the Shacheng wall demolition site to supervise the implementation of the project. When he heard Qu Mao and Su Yan calling him, he quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion. When he came back, he took a cup of cold tea and poured it.
Su Yan asked: "City Master, Sir, about 4 kilometers southeast of Shacheng, I saw a 100-meter-square reservoir, how deep was that reservoir dug?
My lord wants to judge how much fresh water is stored in that reservoir, and is this fresh water enough for Shacheng? "
The Lord of Shacheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the cistern was originally suggested to be excavated by the adults. The original design depth was 5 meters and the area was 3 meters square.
Follow-up, due to the discovery of coal mines in Shacheng, more and more people gathered around, and fresh water was needed for coal washing, so we expanded the reservoir many times.
Now that reservoir has reached a square of 100 meters and a depth of 10 meters. Unfortunately, the water flow of the creek is limited, and the reservoir is at most 8 meters deep, so we did not continue to expand the reservoir in the future. pool, and no new reservoir was excavated.
This amount of water cannot even meet the domestic water needs of Shacheng and surrounding residents, let alone meet the needs of various industrial developments.
Therefore, at present, Shacheng has very strict requirements for the use of fresh water. All non-domestic water for industries, enterprises, and commerce must not be obtained near Shacheng. There are a total of 6 cities in the east and southeast, with the nearest 50 kilometers and the farthest 120 kilometers. A total of 4,670 trucks of fresh water are delivered to Shacheng every day. "
Qu Mao asked: "How much is a car of fresh water?"
The Lord of Shacheng said: "My lord, the specifications of the fresh water truck are that the water tank is 1.5 meters wide, 5 meters long, and 1 meter high..."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "One truck is 7.5 cubic meters, 7.5 tons of water, 4670 trucks, and as much as 35,000 tons of fresh water is delivered to the Shacheng area a day. There is no specific concept, as long as it can meet the demand."
The Lord of Shacheng smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the water brought in from other places can only meet the needs of industry, mining and commerce, and does not include residential water. It is because so much water enters the surrounding areas of Shacheng that Shacheng Tianxuan has been selected for seven years to the present. The precipitation is more than double that of Tianxuan's six-year annual precipitation.
Residents’ domestic water is another way. The subordinate organization dug 48 wells in Shacheng City. The depth of the wells in the city is generally about 20 meters deep, but the water can only reach a depth of 5 to 6 meters.
Around Shacheng, the subordinates also urged the villages to dig a large number of wells, but the depth of the wells is deeper than the wells in Shacheng, and the depth of water storage is shallower. "
Qu Mao said: "I am worried that the water resources in and around Shacheng are not enough to meet the needs of urbanization in Shacheng, so I pay so much attention to the water storage capacity of the reservoir."
The Lord of Shacheng said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, you don't know that Shacheng was originally named Shacheng because it was built on the edge of the desert. At that time, one-third of the territory of the Marquis of Gillette was desert. After the territory took over the Marquis of Gillette, it built the city closest to the desert.
When Shacheng was built, the water source was not sufficient. Although the adults suggested that we dig a reservoir to store the water of the only creek, the water output of that creek is limited after all, and the fresh water in the reservoir is generally not allowed to be used by residents, so it is used as a balance area Environmental use, at least the trees around the reservoir have started to grow.
The difficulty of digging wells for water in the villages outside Shacheng is more difficult than that inside Shacheng..."
Su Yan listened to the complaints of the Shacheng City Lord, and comforted: "City Lord, so the adults suggest that you improve the environment, improve the regional environment by planting trees, and prevent the Sand City from being swallowed by the desert.
You also said that only eight and a half months have passed in the seventh year of Tianxuan, and the precipitation has already exceeded double the annual precipitation in the sixth year of Tianxuan. This shows that transporting fresh water and digging wells are still helpful to improve the climate of Shacheng of. "
Qu Maodao: "Accordingly, 35,000 tons of fresh water is imported every day. Even though this fresh water will be used in mining, industry and commerce, it should increase the height of groundwater and the waste water can be further utilized."
The Lord of Shacheng nodded and said: "My lord, you are really perceptive. It is because of the 4670 cars of fresh water imported every day, so the subordinates organized manpower to dig wells in and around Shacheng to produce water. In the early days, the wells dug by subordinates reached 40 There’s no water coming out even meters deep.”
Qu Mao continued: "The metal mines in Shacheng are generally distributed in the desert. I think since there are so many miners digging metal mines in the desert, the city owner can introduce a policy: encourage the miners to plant trees in the desert. For the water source problem of tree planting, industrial waste water for cooling metal blocks can be used completely.
Of course, other mining, industrial and commercial wastewater, as long as the pollution is not particularly serious, can be used to water trees directly after a little treatment, or to plant grass in the desert.
The root system of plants can not only fix sand and culvert water, but also prevent sand and cool down, making Sand City more suitable for human habitation. It is just the choice of tree species and grass species, which may need to be carefully selected by the city owner. · Master Jin communicates, your choice will be better. "
Su Yan also said: "On the one hand, afforestation can improve the desert environment around Shacheng, and on the other hand, it can also save forest resources for the future development of Shacheng.
Otherwise, sooner or later, the sand city will eventually be buried in the desert because of the spread of the edge of the desert. "
The Lord of Shacheng said: "My lord, this subordinate will handle this matter. Before going to the Holy Land to participate in the double selection meeting for college graduates, this subordinate will first go to the Holy Land to visit Lord Jia Sixie and Lord Franklin King.
It’s just that, my lord, if we forcibly improve the desert environment against the sky, I’m afraid the investment won’t be too small…”
Qu Mao said with a smile: "Shacheng now has a population of more than 800,000, which is stronger than any town in the Holy Land, including Yicheng. Is Shacheng still short of money?
Don't worry, the Holy Land and the Tassel Empire will help you to bear part of the investment in improving the environment.
You can even consider digging ditches or water conservancy projects to divert water directly into Sand City from other towns. "
The Lord of Shacheng nodded and said: "With your support, my lord, the subordinates can do it with confidence."
