On October 27, according to the news from Hefei Luyang District,
since October 15, the Luzhou Park Management Office has carried
out dredging work in the 2.5-kilometer-long river channel of the
Silihe River (North Erhuan Road to Linquan Road). It was purposed
to further repair the ecological environment of the Sili River, which
is expected to end before the end of the year.
The person in charge of the Luzhou Park Management Office
introduced that the total amount of dredging earthworks was
about 50,000 cubic meters. It was deployed silt curtains for
controlling the sludge and then used dredger for cleaning the sludge.
The cleaned sludge will be dried first, and then used as a fertilizer
soil to enhance the green soil. It is believed that the water quality
of the Sili River will be further improved after the sludge is removed.
It is reported that since the Hefei Luzhou Park Management Office
took over the Silihe Ecological Park in 2017, the management office
arranged three cleaning vessels to clean the floating objects on the
banks of the Sili River and clean the green areas on both sides of the river.
