River receiving pristine protection
China DailyResidents release fish into the Lijiang River in April as part of green measures. Rolled out with a total investment of 316 million yuan, the project includes 19 water quality monitoring stations in the area's main channels and tributaries to carry out real-time tracking of water quality and supervision of illegal sewage discharge and floating debris, with an early warning system to automatically detect substandard water quality and other conditions. The network also covers 213 high-definition video surveillance installations and more than 1,900 mobile surveillance cameras to monitor key docks, watersheds and related venues in real time, with an intelligent analysis system deployed to detect illegal construction and garbage disposal, according to the platform's operator. A "comprehensive law enforcement smart service" feature completes the emergency rescue early warning capabilities, including first-aid facilities set up in scenic spots. The platform allows for full coordination with the public security bureau and related agencies under an intelligent law enforcement system that combines drones and 5G communications equipment, said Liu Huanmei, deputy director of the Lijiang River management committee.
