Baotu Spring gushing for 11 consecutive years
On September 5th, the water level of Baotu Spring was 28.32 meters, which was not very high comparing to the data of the same periods over the years. Baotu Spring has been gushing for 11 consecutive years since it recovered and started gushing again in 2003, which is the longest period on record in recent 40 years. The water conservation and spring protection work never ceased, more and more citizens have joined the spring protection team.
However, this year's persistent drought threatens the gushing of the springs in Jinan. The rainy season finished, there won't be much rainfall from now to next April. The government and the citizens need to take much more effective measures to protect the springs in Jinan.
