  "The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down and watch the Cowherd and Vega star." Song Yuanyuan, director of the Tianjin Astronomy Association and an astronomy science expert at the Tianjin Science and Technology Museum, said that in the middle of the Milky Way, there are three bright stars – Vega in Lyra, Cowherd in Aquarius and Tianjin Si in Cygnus – which form the symbol of the summer starry sky – "Summer Triangle", which is approximately a right triangle.

  Vega is located at a right angle, emitting a diamond-like light on the west bank of the Milky Way, and is called the "Queen of Summer Nights". The southern vertex of the "Summer Triangle" is Altair, which is on the east bank of the Milky Way and faces Vega across the river; the other vertex of the "Summer Triangle" is Tianjin IV, located at the "tail" of Cygnus, which spans the Milky Way, with two wings extending north and south, and the neck extending along the Milky Way, with the head facing southwest and the tail facing northeast.

  Extending southward from Vega along the bank of the Milky Way, you can see a bright red star, which is Antarctica in Scorpio, also known as "fire". Moving southward from Cowherd along the Milky Way, you can find Sagittarius, which is often called Sagittarius. "The Milky Way in the Sagittarius part is the widest and brightest. Because the direction of Sagittarius is the direction of the center of the Milky Way, which is the famous’Galactic Center ‘. The Chinese 28 constellations, Dou (Nandou Six Stars) and Gi, are in Sagittarius. For the northern hemisphere, the more southern the area, the higher the Sagittarius rises, the more conducive it is to observe those gorgeous deep-sky objects in the direction of the’Galactic Center’." Song Yuanyuan said.

  Bright Milky Way, starry, how to shoot the magnificent appearance of the Milky Way?

  In the eyes of veteran astronomer Wang Junfeng, shooting the Milky Way is all about "the weather, the location, and the people." He introduced that the best time to shoot the Milky Way in the northern hemisphere is from the end of May to the end of September every year, based on comprehensive factors such as human sleep habits, climate and temperature.

  In addition to understanding the laws of the rise and fall of the Milky Way, the moon phase also has a great impact on the shooting of the Milky Way. To obtain a good shooting effect, it is necessary to avoid the influence of the full moon. From the 23rd of each lunar month to the seventh day of the following month, it is a more suitable time for shooting.

  Shooting the Milky Way alone is beautiful, but combining the landscape will make the photo icing on the cake, and the landscape has the function of indicating the geographical location. Therefore, the shooting point should choose a high-altitude area with a wide field of vision, a natural landscape or building with obvious geographical indications, and a suitable prospect.

  Shooting the Galaxy first requires one or more shooting equipment with long exposure function, either a camera or a mobile phone, a wide-angle lens with a large aperture is preferred; secondly, a stable tripod is required, and a shutter cable is recommended. A simple shutter cable will make your shooting a lot easier. Finally, you need to prepare the necessary equipment for night travel, headlights, cold, moisture, dust and insect-proof clothing, tents, supplies, etc.

  Everything is ready, only the parameters are set. If you shoot with the camera, you need to set the manual mode (M block) to shoot the Milky Way, turn on the lens to manually focus (the lens focus switch is switched to MF), the focus position is infinitely far, the aperture theory is the largest, and the image quality is better by subtracting one stop. If you want a longer exposure and the star point is not off-line, it is recommended to use an equator. The white balance can be adjusted according to personal preference, and the original data source format (RAW) can also be adjusted later. At this point, press the shutter, wait a moment, and a gorgeous Galaxy blockbuster will appear in the camera.

  In recent years, with the continuous improvement of mobile phone hardware and algorithm optimization, mobile phone shooting Galaxy has become simple and easy to operate. "At present, both Hongmeng system and Android system mobile phones can switch to professional mode to shoot Galaxy, and even some brand mobile phones have star mode and time-lapse mode. Just hold the phone on a tripod to fix it, switch to star mode or time-lapse mode, and press to shoot. In professional mode, the parameters can refer to the camera settings." Wang Junfeng added.

  In June, the summer night is quiet, the night is in the arms; the galaxy is bright, like a dream. Let’s find a good weather, pack our bags, and record the beautiful Milky Way together under the poetic night sky.

  The first peak passenger flow day of the Spring Festival in 2024 is expected to occur on February 7. In order to allow passengers to walk smoothly, walk well, and connect smoothly, the Municipal Key Station District Management Committee, together with the Municipal Transportation Commission, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, the regional government, and the State Railway, Civil Aviation and other departments, strengthen the consultation and judgment, and "one stop, one policy" to ensure the continuity of transportation capacity, transportation organization, and service guidance.

  Among them, from 0:00 on February 6 to 24:00 on February 8, and from 0:00 on February 15 to 24:00 on February 18, 20 parking lots in the seven railway stations in Beijing can be parked for 30 minutes for free. At present, there are 14 online car-hailing pick-up areas and supporting passenger waiting areas in the seven railway stations.

  Adjust trains to achieve connectivity between stations

  Since the Spring Festival travel, the municipal key station district management committee has paid close attention to the weather changes in the city and along the railway line and surrounding provinces, and comprehensively strengthened coordination and linkage to deal with the delayed outage caused by extreme weather. Set up a front-line joint headquarters in "seven stations and two stations" to carry out on-site research and judgment and work scheduling to deal with emergencies. Coordinate the municipal communications administration and the three major communication operators in advance, and station 17 emergency communication vehicles in each station area to ensure smooth communication. Coordinate the International Committee of the Red Cross, strengthen the duty of the 999 train group, and respond to emergencies in a timely manner. Coordinate with the public security department to strengthen the investigation of special projects for hidden dangers of social contradictions in the station area, and integrate the strength of public security, urban management, fire protection, and territorial personnel into the network and sink to the front line, and make every effort to maintain social order.

  At the same time, strengthen the linkage and docking with the national railway department, take measures such as multi-stop and inter-station passenger flow balance, add 3 pairs of trains at Beijing Railway Station and Fengtai Station, and adjust 8 pairs of departure trains such as Beijing Railway Station, Beijing West Railway Station, Chaoyang Railway Station, and Fengtai Railway Station to achieve inter-station connectivity. Add 5 intra-Beijing stops in Huairou South, Miyun, Miyunnan, Shunyi, and Shunyi West, and 7 stops around Beijing in Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou North, Langfang, Gu’an, Guangyang, Yanjiao, and Gaobeidian East. A total of 17 stops have been added to relieve the pressure of "seven stations" and facilitate passengers to transfer nearby.

  Subway starts delayed bus encryption

  On peak passenger flow days, the city will take transportation capacity protection measures such as subway delay, bus encryption, rental guarantee points, network incentives, and free ferry backstops, and make every effort to ensure large passenger flow, especially for passengers arriving in Beijing after 23:00.

  From February 6th to 8th and February 15th to 18th, according to the passenger flow and train flight operation, the delay measures of Metro No. 2, No. 4, No. 7, No. 14, No. 16 and two airport lines will be started in a timely manner; according to the passenger flow situation, the number of bus trips will be encrypted to strengthen the frequency of subway shuttles at Chaoyang Station at night; the transportation management department will be coordinated to dynamically start taxi point-keeping measures; the docking network will be connected to the car-hailing platform, and the incentive mechanism of the station area will be implemented at the peak of passenger flow to ensure the transportation capacity; 17 free shuttle lines will be deployed at seven railway stations, and they will be started in a timely manner according to the passenger flow situation.

  There are a total of 14 online car-hailing pick-up areas and supporting passenger waiting areas in the seven major railway station areas, which provide service guarantees for the last 100 meters of the "handshake between people and cars". Outbound passengers can inquire through apps such as Didi Chuxing, Autonavi Map, and Baidu Map. Beijing Railway Station, Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing South Railway Station, and Fengtai Railway Station optimize the services of the online car-hailing waiting area and set up air-conditioned rooms, seats, etc. Among them, Fengtai Station’s online car-hailing area is divided into zones and lanes according to the tail number of passengers’ mobile phones. The car-hailing software directly prompts passengers to wait for the corresponding channel (a total of 6 channels are set) to improve the connection efficiency.

  Optimize travel for the elderly and simplify the taxi-hailing process

  The municipal key station district management committee, Beijing static traffic and municipal state-owned enterprises actively fulfill their social responsibilities and provide warm-hearted services for passengers. Combined with the passenger flow situation, during the peak hours of delivery and return, 20 parking lots in the seven major railway station areas will adopt free parking for 30 minutes.

  The specific time is: 0:00 on February 6 to 24:00 on February 8, and 0:00 on February 15 to 24:00 on February 18.

  The specific parking lots are: Beijing Railway Station (Huatong) parking lot; Beijing West Railway Station North Square P1, P3, P5 parking lot (underground) and P2, P6 surface parking lot; Beijing South Railway Station East and West underground parking lot; Beijing North Railway Station surface parking lot and West Ring Square underground parking lot; Qinghe Station South underground parking lot and South and North drop-off platform parking lot; Chaoyang Station South Entrance South 3 parking lot, North Entrance North 3 parking lot and South underground parking lot; Fengtai Station South Square P1, P2 surface parking lot, West underground parking lot and East drop-off platform parking lot.

  The municipal key station district management committee sets up and optimizes the functions of drop-off areas in each station area to improve the efficiency of passenger boarding and landing. The Beijing Railway Station area promotes the renovation of the underground parking lot in the east of the station, and the average daily parking volume is increased by nearly 10 times; the Fengtai Station area expands 249 parking spaces for social vehicles to ease parking difficulties. Promote the "one-click ride-hailing" service, optimize senior-friendly travel, and simplify the taxi-hailing process, integrate various taxi routes such as Didi, Autonavi, and telephone lines, and strengthen staff guidance on the spot to help passengers experience the use.

  Seven railway stations have set up 25 volunteer service points to realize the seamless connection of the whole chain of in-app and off-app volunteer services. Each station area provides "hand warmers" and heart-warming ginger soup for passengers waiting at night to warm their way home.

  Open up a broken road around key stations

  Before the arrival of the Spring Festival, the broken road around the station was opened up, allowing passengers to take less wasted roads. For example, the broken road at the southern end of Chaoyang Station East Road was opened, connecting Chaoyang Station East Road and Yaojiayuan Road, improving the travel environment on the east side of the station. At the same time, adjust the traffic flow around Chaoyang Station, optimize the setting of traffic lights and intersection U-turns, etc., to improve road traffic rate and turnover.

  The Fengtai Station area opened the Zhengyang Street section of Fengcaohe North Road before the Spring Festival, completed the construction of the main road network of the "two horizontal and two vertical" supporting road network, further promoted the integration of the road network, and unblocked the traffic order around the Fengtai Station area.

  The Beijing West Railway Station area opened the South Square Guanglian Road severed road on January 31. After opening, it passed through Guanglian Road, the South Square Bus Station of the West Railway Station, and the East Street in front of the station, forming a traffic circulation. Vehicles connected to Guanglian Road do not have to turn around the same way, which greatly improves the traffic connection capacity of the South Square of the West Railway Station. It is expected that the capacity enhancement will exceed 40%. (Sun Hongyang)

Ren Xianqi challenges the Silk Road with off-road cycling and experiences blowing sheepskin rafts to make ramen


Ren Xianqi

    The travel program "One Earth" will broadcast a new episode of "One Earth – Silk Road Game" on December 11. And invited the heavyweight guest Ren Xianqi to be the host. This journey lasted more than 20 days. Xiao Qi, together with more than a dozen film crew staff, formed a convoy, starting from Xi’an on off-road motorcycles, passing through Lanzhou, Wuwei, Zhangye, along the Hexi Corridor to Dunhuang, Turpan, and ending in Xinqiang Urumqi, the whole journey reached more than 2,000 kilometers. The process is stylish, FUN, bitter, and sweaty… An all-male team, together to complete the man’s Silk Road dream.

    This time, "One Earth" Xiao Qi teamed up with the film team to shoot Hong Kong’s first off-road motorcycle tour of the Silk Road. For thousands of years, the Silk Road has been a cultural exchange route between China and the West, and it is also the cradle of many ethnic minorities in China. In ancient times, caravans crossing the Silk Road could be described as dangerous. Xiao Qi also had to be well prepared to cross the Silk Road with off-road motorcycles. It took a year from conception to filming, and finally took place in August 2010. Xiao Qi first joined the filming team in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and communicated with a group of local off-road motorcyclists to understand the different risks that may be encountered on the Silk Road before driving a motorcycle through the Silk Road. After arriving in Lanzhou, Xiao Qi was very excited. He said: "Here, the bucket can create the effect of rolling sand and dust. It feels very good. It is a paradise for off-road motorcycle enthusiasts." Because Lanzhou is located on the Loess Plateau, surrounded by a layer of sand that is more than 300 meters thick and weathered, Xiao Qi can enjoy the addiction of fire chariots here. It turns out that in Lanzhou, there are many shops specializing in off-road motorcycle business, and they also organized an association. When they have time, they will get together to fight. After Xiao Qi found out, he wanted to fight with them. 


Ren Xianqi

    In addition to the motorcycle, Xiao Qi also visited different ethnic minorities, as if learning to make traditional sheepskin rafts with Hui people, experiencing the life of Tibetans in Gansu grazing and shearing white yak hair, and traveling to Minqin County, which is often affected by sandstorms, and the Hexi Corridor, which is baptized by war, to learn about the various ways that ethnic minorities survive on the Silk Road. After nearly a month of filming, Xiao Qi not only learned about the local culture, but also learned a lot of "skills", including making traditional sheepskin rafts and Lanzhou ramen. In ancient times, the only way to cross the Yellow River was to take a sheepskin raft made by Hui people. The process of the sheepskin raft is complicated, and the hardest part is to blow up the sheepskin bag so that the raft can float on the river. Xiao Qi turned into a sheepskin raft master and tried to inflate the entire sheepskin raft, but unfortunately the challenge failed, even if a strong man wanted to inflate a sheepskin bag. Although the task was not very successful, the determined and unyielding Xiao Qi kept up his efforts and challenged another "simple task", which was to concoct Lanzhou ramen. Making ramen noodles has always been very difficult. Master Xiao Qi also understands the truth that everything is hard. Although the final product is a little different, the entrance is also refreshing. (Photo and text/Tungstar)

Original less than six years huge loss of 81 billion yuan, NIO for the second time in the collapse of the storm

The new energy vehicle track is already full of bones, and countless car companies have fallen. In the eyes of some people, NIO may become one of them. NIO, which has suffered a huge loss of 81 billion yuan in six years, has recently fallen into bankruptcy for the second time. We can’t help but ask an old question, does NIO have a future?

Li Bin, who is known as the "godfather of travel", has a rather tortuous road to building a car, and the NIO he founded has a difficult fate. In 2019, NIO encountered a life-and-death crisis, and the capital chain was very tight for a time. It was rumored that it was only one step away from bankruptcy and bankruptcy. Li Bin was also dubbed "the worst person in 2019" by the media. Fortunately, the local government of Hefei, Anhui Province, offered tens of billions of life-saving funds and supported NIO in policies, land and other aspects. As a result, NIO not only became a salted fish, but also soared into the sky. But now four years later, NIO has once again fallen into the storm of bankruptcy and bankruptcy.

Early last month, NIO announced a 10% layoff, sparking concerns about its business conditions. Shortly after, rumors spread on social platforms that "NIO will expand its layoffs by 20% to 30%" and "NIO will go out of business". For a while, NIO was pushed to the forefront of the trend. Qin Lihong, president of NIO, had to stand up in person to respond: "NIO will not go out of business, and there is absolutely no possibility of it going out of business. Please feel free to experience and buy NIO’s cars." But such a response seems to be difficult to dispel the doubts of the outside world, because NIO is indeed under pressure.

NIO, which has been mired in bankruptcy for the second time, released its third-quarter financial report earlier this month. Although the financial report showed many positive results, with revenue and deliveries reaching "the best in history", its net loss was still as high as 4.56 billion yuan, an increase of 10.8% year-on-year. In the first three quarters of this year, NIO’s total net loss reached 15.56 billion yuan, exceeding the net loss of 14.56 billion yuan for the whole of last year. Increasing income without increasing profit seems to be a huge obstacle that NIO cannot overcome. In the first three quarters of this year, NIO delivered a total of 109,993 new cars. If calculated according to the net loss of 15.56 billion yuan in the same period, NIO will lose about 141,000 yuan for every car sold.

As a high-end luxury brand, the price of NIO vehicles is very high, even exceeding BBA, but each car still loses so much, mainly because NIO can burn money too much. Data show that in the five years from 2018 to 2022, NIO lost 23.328 billion yuan, 11.413 billion yuan, 5.611 billion yuan, 10.572 billion yuan and 14.559 billion yuan. If you add the 15.56 billion yuan in the first three quarters of this year, then in less than six years, NIO lost about 81 billion yuan. In less than six years, it burned more than 80 billion yuan, and as a result, it was "closed down" twice. No one but NIO.

Delivery volume is the life and death line of new forces. Without delivery volume, there will be nothing. Before 2022, NIO’s delivery volume growth rate has been in a state of high growth. Even if 91,400 vehicles are delivered in 2021 and 100,000 vehicles are not achieved, the delivery growth rate will still remain at a high level of 109%. However, in 2022, NIO ushered in an inflection point. 122,500 vehicles were delivered throughout the year, and the delivery growth rate dropped sharply to 34%, underperforming the market for the first time. Although it has rebounded this year, the delivery growth rate is still hovering at a low level of about 40%. From the perspective of delivery volume growth, NIO seems to have lost its former vigor.

In Li Bin’s plan, NIO is already working on two people-friendly sub-brands, Alps and Firefly. Their listing may bring new changes to NIO’s delivery volume. But whether they can explode in the fierce competition is still unknown. Of course, NIO also has two good news: First, NIO has acquired some car assets of Jianghuai Automobile and finally obtained independent production qualifications. There is no need to find Jianghuai OEM in the future, and the words "Jianghuai Automobile" on the tail of the car will disappear. Second, NIO has successfully joined hands with the national team Changan Automobile and the old independent giant Geely to cooperate in the power exchange business, which is expected to gradually get rid of the biggest loss burden.

As of September 30 this year, NIO had 45.20 billion yuan in cash reserves. This gave Li Bin the confidence to be optimistic: "What a big deal, isn’t there still tens of billions in the account?" But in fact, Li Bin should not be so optimistic. Even if you are optimistic, you must be prepared for danger in times of peace. According to the rate of burning money of about 5 billion yuan per quarter, this money is only enough for NIO to spend about two years. In other words, there are only two years left for NIO. In 2024, NIO is likely to face a "battle of life and death". We look forward to Li Bin leading NIO and creating miracles for the second time.

Nongfu Spring is behind Yibao: the water source dilemma is difficult to solve

Our reporter, Ye Bihua, reports from Guangzhou

   
On April 11, Nongfu Spring, which was pushed to the forefront of the trend by the standard controversy, suddenly launched an attack, directly denouncing the recent series of attacks on Nongfu Spring as being planned behind the scenes by rival China Resources Yibao.

   
"As a state-controlled drinking water company, it is regrettable that it uses public fears about food safety and environmental pollution as a marketing tool to target competitors and expand market share," Nongfu Spring said in a statement on its official Weibo account.

As of this writing, China Resources Yibao has not made any response to this.

   
In the first three quarters of 2012, among the top four sales of drinking water in bottles (cans) in China, Nongfu Spring ranked first in the country with a market share of 35%, leaving behind the second-placed Master Kong by 19 percentage points. But at the same time, a series of negatives such as "Water Source Gate", "Fake Donation Gate" and "Arsenic Gate" have been surrounding this drinking water market leader. Just recently, some media reported that Nongfu Spring’s standard is not as good as tap water, which once again triggered the public to rethink the drinking water source.

standard doubt

   
On April 8, some media exposed that Nongfu Spring used "DB33/383" Zhejiang local standards in the three major water sources of Wanlv Lake in Guangdong, Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang and Danjiangkou in Hubei, which is far lower than the "DB44/116-2000" Guangdong standard. Nongfu Spring is suspected of avoiding the use of standards. At the same time, Nongfu Spring also participated in the formulation of Zhejiang standards.

   
According to our understanding, compared with the Guangdong standard, the Zhejiang standard used by Nongfu Spring has twice the tolerance content of cadmium, arsenic and other harmful substances than the Guangdong standard. The Zhejiang standard tolerates the existence of fungi such as mold and yeast, while the Guangdong standard is "not detectable".

   
Subsequently, some media quoted Zhou Xiaolin, director of the Food Supervision and Administration Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, as justifying the matter. According to the report, Zhou Xiaolin showed reporters the national standard GB19298-2003, the Zhejiang Provincial Standard DB33/383-2005 and the Guangdong Provincial Standard DBS44/001-2011, and said that the microbial indicators in these three standards are exactly the same.

   
But in fact, the national standard of "Bottle (Barrel) Drinking Water Hygiene Standards" mentioned by Zhou Xiaolin has been revised in January and September 2008, and the revised national standard is stricter than the Zhejiang standard. With the continuous fermentation of public opinion, Nongfu Spring finally responded to various doubts on the 11th.

   
"The arsenic and cadmium levels in Nongfu Spring products are below the detection limits, and the levels are so low that they cannot be detected. Mold and yeast are also undetectable." In its statement, Nongfu Spring did not provide a detailed explanation of the standard issue, but turned its attention to competitors. "We have reason to believe that the recent series of reports against Nongfu Spring are deliberately planned, and behind the scenes is the state-controlled drinking water company, China Resources Yibao."

Benchmarking Yibao

   
In the statement, Nongfu Spring cited negative online media coverage of its products since March 15, as well as a series of marketing campaigns by rival China Resources Yibao, and claimed that competitors had hired personnel in Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and other places, and distributed articles attacking Nongfu Spring door-to-door to retail stores and consumers.

   
Luo Tan, president of the Guangdong Bottled Drinking Water Industry Association, told our reporter that Nongfu Spring is currently at the forefront of the bottled water market in the country, especially in the East China base camp, and has an absolute advantage. But in southern China, Nongfu Spring has to face competition from brands such as Yibao, Jingtian, Yili, and Watsons. Among them, Nongfu Spring and Yibao have the most intense competition in the Shenzhen market.

According to our understanding, the main product of farmers’ bottled water
At present, the price of 550ML in Guangzhou supermarkets is about 1.2-1 yuan, while in Shenzhen supermarkets in recent months has maintained 1.8-1 yuan/bottle, the price is close to the main competitor Yibao.

   
"Farmers seven or eight years ago had relatively good price maintenance, but with the rise of Master Kong and competition from other brands, farmers in southern China had to cut prices in exchange for market share," a drinking water company executive told the Financial Times on condition of anonymity.

   
According to it, the total bottled water market in Shenzhen rose by 11% last year compared with 2011, of which Nongfu Spring rose by 45%, and Nongfu’s bottled water market share in Shenzhen also jumped from 9% in 2011 to 12% in 2012.

   
China Resources Entrepreneurship (00291.HK), the parent company of Ipoh, reported last year that although it benefited from the rapid growth of sales and turnover of Ipoh pure water in Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangxi and Fujian, the total sales volume of the company’s beverage business in 2012 increased by 33% compared with the previous year to about 3507,000 kilolitres, with a turnover of 47.66 million Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 53.1% year-on-year, but the profit attributable to it decreased by 31.7% compared with 2011 to 86 million Hong Kong dollars.

   
The above-mentioned water company executives believe that the profit margins in the bottled water industry are currently very low, and for most brands, it is impossible to continue the downward price war.

Water source dilemma

   
From the original "Water Source Gate", "Fake Donation Gate", "Arsenic Gate", to the current "Standard Gate", water sources have always been the main aspect of Nongfu Spring’s criticism by the outside world. If the price cannot be beaten by Master Kong, the drinking water market can only go up the high-end route, and there are a variety of claims such as natural pure water and mineral water, but in the end, water sources are the commanding heights of major enterprises.

   
At present, the three main water sources of Nongfu Spring (Wanlu Lake in Guangdong, Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, and Danjiangkou in Hubei) are basically lake water, which belongs to surface water. Nongfu Spring adopts the direct canning method, which is physically filtered according to certain standards (usually activated carbon and sand cans). If the water contains heavy metals, it cannot be filtered, and can only be controlled by the water quality of the water source itself.

   
"But from a natural science perspective, the control of lake and reservoir water has limitations." The above-mentioned water company executives believe that the so-called water source protection area is just a series of mandatory protection measures taken by the state for it. Compared with other water sources, the protection of water sources is much greater, but it does not mean that this water source is completely controlled.

   
In the opinion of the above-mentioned water company executives, it is already very difficult to find high-quality water sources, and even more difficult is how to maintain the water sources later.

   
"So far, the state’s supervision of agriculture has not been able to avoid the use of chemicals that affect human health, and these chemicals will gather in the catchment area with natural rainfall, so basically, if the unit that uses these water sources can control the safety of the water source 100%, I think this is a bit too much, it is impossible to do this," the water company executive said frankly.

   
Previously, some media went to the Danjiangkou Reservoir to investigate and found that there were all kinds of domestic waste on the shore around the water intake point of Nongfu Spring, but the staff of Nongfu Spring Factory said that the domestic waste had little impact on the water quality, just like "the sand in the rice".
