Tonglu and Jiande Jointly Safeguard Luci Creek

Fuchunjiang Town in Tonglu County, together with Qiantan Town in Jiande City, has currently organized volunteers to inspect the Luci Creek in terms of its environment, water quality and bank cleaning, in an effort to continuously improve its water environment.  

Luci Creek rises in the Maling Scenic Area of Jiande City and is 19.7 kilometers long, with 4.3 kilometers in Jiande City and 15.4 kilometers in Fuchunjiang Town of Tonglu County. Tonglu County and Jiande City have held multiple symposiums to promptly analyze, study and formulate work plans for Luci Creek co-governance, organized joint inspections on a regular or irregular basis, and collaborated in watercourse cleaning and inspections, so as to further strengthen the governance over Luci Creek's water environment.

In recent years, thanks to joint efforts and the comprehensive co-governance of creek basin, Luci Creek with clear water and excellent water resources, has maintained its water quality between Class I and II all year round, and been enlisted the first batch of "Beautiful Rivers and Lakes" in Zhejiang Province. Luci Creek, with high-quality and limpid water, has attracted tourists from surrounding cities and driven the development of Luci Village's agritourism and homestay hotel industry.

"We hope that through establishing a Luci Creek co-governance community, we can remove the barrier of administrative division and achieve synergy between 'upstream and downstream regions' to make Luci Creek governance more effective," said the relevant person in charge of Fuchunjiang Town. Efforts will be stepped up to enhance the overall environment quality of Luci Creek, jointly develop the Luci Creek culture and protect the water ecosystem, thus improving people's sense of fulfillment and happiness.
