On the ground of Science Museum is Qingshan Reclaimed Water Plant of China Water Environment, the first sunken reclaimed water plant in Guiyang. The treated reclaimed water is used as make-up water for landscape parks, which not only realizes the effects of sewage resource utilization, water resources saving and land saving, but also becomes an important part of water environment protection and water ecological science and technology popularization and display.

Guiyang Water Environment Science Museum carries out water-saving knowledge research activities

Since its opening in 2016, Guiyang Water Environment Science Museum has received more than 100,000 people from various social organizations, citizens and students. Through the sound, light, shadow and electricity effects such as popular science movies and interactive facilities, combined with underground reclaimed water plants, an immersive popular science display effect has been formed, which makes the popular science of water knowledge more infectious. At present, Qingshan Reclaimed Water Plant has been selected as one of the top ten environmental protection facilities open units of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2023 and the National Water Regime Education Base of the Ministry of Water Resources.
