On May 26, 2022, the official commencement ceremony of the Baoshanba Water Supply and Drainage "One Network" and Urban-Rural Water Supply Integration Project in Yunnan Province was held in Longyang District.

It is understood that the total area of Baoshan Dam is 325 square kilometers, the average annual rainfall is 988 mm, the total water resources are 363 million cubic meters, and the per capita water resources occupation is only 688 cubic meters, which is 15% of the average level of Yunnan Province. up to 46.9%, which is an area with relatively scarce water resources. In order to ensure the living, production and ecological water in the jurisdiction, implement the unified allocation of water resources and realize the comprehensive and balanced utilization of water resources, the Baoshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government decided to implement the Baoshan Dam water supply and drainage "one network" and urban-rural water supply integration project.
