Chapter 540 Overexploitation of Groundwater

[Multiple structure graphene thin film technology] Huang Yuping, the president of the group, saw a new development direction in the future, and he was very excited about it.

What he saw was that this technology could push [Chaoqun Group] to a new level, and what he saw was a booming and vast market at home and abroad.

But for this technology, Wu Siyuan sees further.

A United Nations research report pointed out that 12 billion people in the world are facing moderate to high water shortage pressure, 80 countries have insufficient water sources, and 20 billion people have no guarantee of drinking water.

It is estimated that by 2025, the situation will further deteriorate, and the water-deficient population will reach 28 billion to 33 billion.

World Bank officials predict that within the next five years "water will function like oil around the world."

This undoubtedly shows the importance of [water resources] in the future.

Huaguo is a country that lacks water resources.

Many people may have heard this sentence more than a hundred times.

But in daily life, many people do not have this feeling of lack of water.

Anyway, when the faucet is turned on, the tap water flows out as if money is not needed.

But in fact, the water shortage crisis in Huaguo is already very serious.

Experts once warned: "Hua Guo will not find drinking water resources in 20 years."

In a report published by the influential think-tank organization of the beautiful country, [Worldwatch Institute], it stated: "Due to the rapid increase in the demand for water in urban areas and industrial areas in China, China will be in a long-term water shortage situation. .”

The Yellow River in Huaguo has been dry every year for more than 10 years, including 1997 days in 226.

The Huai River, which flows through some densely populated areas in China, was also cut off for 90 days last year.

Hundreds of lakes are drying up and some endemic rivers are disappearing, according to satellite photos.

The per capita water volume of the capital city is 1/13 of the per capita water volume in the world, which is not even as good as some arid Arab countries.

And why do many of us not have the feeling of [water shortage]?
Let’s not talk about it for the cities in the south, but many cities in the north have to rely on overexploitation of groundwater to maintain the growing demand for water.

In a place like Yi Province, which has less water resources per capita than Israel, the precipitation and river water resources cannot meet its production and living needs, so it can only drill down holes and dig wells.

Relying on a large amount of over-extraction of groundwater conceals the important fact of extreme water shortage.

The huge water shortage and the long-term use of groundwater have caused the water level of the groundwater to drop rapidly.

The province has accumulatively over-exploited 600 billion cubic meters of groundwater, of which 300 billion cubic meters of deep groundwater cannot be replenished.

In another 15 years, the groundwater in Shijiazhuang will be exhausted.

Now, the North China Plain has the world's largest underground compound funnel area, covering [-] to [-] square kilometers.

In many areas in the west, due to serious groundwater overexploitation, large areas of trees that have survived for many years died.

We all know the harm caused by groundwater overexploitation and ground deposition.

As the water table lowers, more and more aquifers are evacuated and become deeper, and the structures below cannot carry the weight of the cities above, and the land slowly subsides.

Moreover, this land subsidence is unstable and uneven.The original solid foundation and underground facilities (all kinds of pipelines, lines, etc.) may be damaged, the loss is immeasurable, and it restricts the subsequent development of the city.

Some experts and scholars commented that we are maintaining peace at a heavy price, and the false green makes us still leisurely and complacent!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...........

Development is as dependent on water as human beings are on air, and it cannot be separated even for a minute.The larger the city, the larger the population, and the more developed the industry, the more difficult it is to get rid of its dependence on water.

The low-cost and high-efficiency [seawater desalination technology] developed by [Chaoqun Group] can be said to fundamentally change the water shortage situation in China.

This will inject new impetus into the development of Huaguo.

Moreover, in the next year that Wu Siyuan sees, the temperature will rise and the shortage of water resources will further aggravate.

This seawater desalination technology will play an important role.

Therefore,
Wu Siyuan pondered for a moment, then directed to Huang Yuping, "Mr. Huang, you are quite right."

"However, in addition to desalination of seawater, there are actually vast saltwater lakes in the interior of the northwest, in these areas that are not close to the sea. Our graphene film is not only for desalination of seawater."

"Wu Dong, you are right!" Huang Yuping nodded and said, "It's my narrow-sightedness!"

"In addition, each region has its own situation. The seawater desalination plants that our group will build in various parts of the country must be implemented according to the actual situation." Wu Siyuan said again.

"Yes, what you said is true!" Huang Yuping said [deeply agreeing], "I will ask the group's strategic analysis department to conduct a thorough investigation of the situation across the country and come up with a feasibility report as soon as possible."

Wu Siyuan listened and shook his head, "The speed is too slow."

Huang Yuping was a little surprised when he heard the words, this speed is too slow?

No matter how fast you are, you still have to investigate the situation across the country and communicate with the local government, right?

Is it possible that the seawater desalination plant project will become a high turnover of real estate enterprises?
Wu Siyuan saw Huang Yuping's incomprehension, so he explained, "Yuping, have you used the group's [Elephant Weather]?"

"Of course!" Huang Yuping was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately, "In fact, the mobile phone I use now is the [Dasheng Mobile] produced by the group. I often check the weather forecast of various places through the built-in [Elephant Weather] in the mobile phone."

"Wu Dong, I have to say that under your leadership, our group has produced many capable people, and the same is true of [Elephant Weather]. The accuracy of weather forecasts is really much higher than other weather forecasts on the market, almost There is no time for mistakes." Huang Yuping said flatteringly.

But he also spoke the truth.

Who would have imagined that a tool-type weather forecasting software could have hundreds of millions of paying users in China, with annual revenues of hundreds of millions of yuan, and in one year, the revenue could reach more than one billion yuan.

Moreover, Huang Yuping also knows that not only in China, but also in foreign countries, after using the paid service of [Elephant Weather], many foreign users also highly recommend [Elephant Weather] this software.

【Elephant Weather】There are foreign weather forecasts, because the weather algorithm needs to integrate global astronomical data to get the weather forecast that is closest to the real situation. Naturally, there are astronomical forecasts for various places in foreign countries.

And because the language conversion is simple, corresponding versions are basically available in several mainstream countries around the world.

Huang Yuping used his identity as the president to check the background data of [Elephant Weather], and found that the number of foreign users has been growing steadily. If a rough calculation is made, there are millions of paying users.

Although compared with the hundreds of millions of users in China, it is just a drop in the bucket.

But it means something different.

This means that [Super Group], in addition to the [Audition] software, has another Internet product that has gone international and generated benefits.

[Superior Group] It looks more and more like a large multinational group!
