Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the significant improvements in water quality and ecological restoration across various regions in China, showcasing successful initiatives in addressing water pollution and enhancing biodiversity [8][9][10][12][15][18]. Water Quality Improvement - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment reported that by 2024, the proportion of national surface water with good quality will reach 90.4%, exceeding the "14th Five-Year Plan" target for the first time [8]. - Nearshore sea areas have a good water quality ratio of 83.7%, also ahead of the planned goals [8]. Urban Water Body Restoration - Nationwide, black and odorous water bodies in cities at or above the prefecture level have been largely eliminated, leading to continuous improvements in urban water environments [10]. - The transformation of the Shanzhahua River in Zhejiang Province from a polluted state to a scenic area exemplifies the successful urban water body restoration efforts [10][11]. Ecological Restoration Initiatives - In Sichuan's Xinglong Lake, the establishment of a "water under forest" ecosystem has led to a shift from "algal turbid water" to "grass-type clear water," indicating improved water quality and biodiversity [12][13][14]. - The introduction of various aquatic plants and fish species has created a stable and healthy aquatic ecosystem, enhancing the overall water quality [13][14]. Biodiversity Enhancement - The restoration of the water environment in Beijing's Yonglu River Park has attracted diverse wildlife, with 32 fish species and 156 benthic animal species recorded, indicating a recovery in biodiversity [16][17]. - The discovery of new fish species, such as the Beijing flower loach, reflects the positive changes in the water environment and biodiversity in Beijing [18]. Overall Ecological Health - By 2024, over 70% of rivers in Beijing are expected to achieve good ecological status, with a significant increase in the proportion of rivers with excellent water quality [18]. - The monitoring of five major river systems in Beijing shows that 87.2% of river lengths have good water quality, marking a 15.9 percentage point increase year-on-year [18].
