Quzhou in Zhejiang province achieved the 23rd position in the national assessment of surface water quality for the January to December 2023 period, as recently revealed by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

This success can be primarily attributed to the city's commitment to scientific, precise, and intelligent water management, resulting in the continuous enhancement of the aquatic ecological environment.

Key initiatives encompass the ongoing advancement of digital water management, utilizing specific application scenarios to consistently release water quality warnings for national, provincial, and cross-administrative boundary monitoring sections, totaling 105 warnings issued. Notably, during the flood season, pollution intensity at four pilot monitoring sections decreased by 73.27 percent compared to the same period in 2022.

Furthermore, a robust campaign has been undertaken to investigate and rectify sewage outlets discharging into rivers. This effort covered 2,604 river sections at the village-level and above, amounting to 6,890.17 kilometers, and verified the proper operation of over 8,600 sewage outlets.
