Discover the Power of Water: Fuzhou's Journey

The ancient city of Fuzhou, with its history dating back over 2000 years, is often associated with a myriad of rivers that have played both constructive and destructive roles in shaping this urban landscape. As a land where coastal waters from afar reach its inhabitants, and heavy rns from neighboring mountns often overwhelm the city.

Today, water is not just an element but also a symbol of Fuzhou's commitment to achieving sustnable urban living. The city has become a China’s Sponge Cities, where innovative designs and solutions are being implemented to manage rnfall effectively and prevent flooding while preserving this precious resource.

Pu Jiang, CEO and Co-Founder at Fuyuanxing Mechanical and Electrical Company, reflects on the challenges that water poses: “Our city experiences an imbalance between too much rnwater during rny seasons and insufficient water supply during dry periods. As a result, our floodgates play a crucial role in distributing water as needed - ensuring both safety agnst flooding and providing a steady flow of water essential for local residents.”

Vice General Manager Wang Chuan Qi walks around the Fuzhou floodgate, closely inspecting its operation. He highlights the importance of this infrastructure: “The floodgate's performance is paramount; it must work seamlessly always. Its primary function here is to prevent stagnation in our city's waterways, which could result in polluted waters that are unpleasant for local residents and detrimental to public health.”

Zhang Song Zhi Guo, General Manager for the Fuzhou Water Environment Project at Beijing Enterprises Water Group adds perspective: “We greatly appreciate Grundfos’ expertise and user-frily equipment. The pump gate system has not only improved water flow across our city's rivers but also enhanced citizens' quality of life. The residents are delighted with cleaner water that now reaches their doors, contributing to an overall healthier living environment.”

Leo Jie Zhang, China Business Managing Director at Grundfos, underscores the significance of such projects: Sustnable water management is a global challenge faced by societies worldwide, especially in growing cities like Fuzhou which is now recognized as a leader in implementing Sponge Cities initiatives. We are proud to be part of this transformation, helping not only to alleviate issues of flooding but also making our city more livable.

The integration of Grundfos' technology into the floodgate system in Fuzhou exemplifies innovation and reliability. The propeller pumps integrated directly into the gates ensure ease-of-operation and mntenance, critical functions for a continuous supply of clean water.

“Grundfos’s core products and deep expertise have been instrumental in our successful collaboration with both the city authorities and Beijing Enterprises Water Group,” explns Leo Jie Zhang. The solution in Fuzhou not only enhances water circulation but also contributes to sustnable urban development goals, positively impacting residents' lives while advancing knowledge on how we can address global challenges.

In , Fuzhou's story demonstrates how effective water management techniques can transform cities for the better. The integration of Grundfos technology into its floodgate system is a testament to innovation in water management and highlights the city's commitment to sustnable living.

The future of urban development lies in harnessing nature-inspired solutions like Sponge Cities that ensure environmental harmony, promote community well-being, and pave the way towards more resilient cities capable of handling the impacts of climate change.
