On April 12, the sixth International Forum on The Development of Water Management in China was held in Chongqing. Nearly 500 outstanding experts, scholars, engineers, planners and designers participated in the meeting and worked together to discuss the development of water management.

Zhou Chi, Vice President of Hengtong Marine Marketing Department, made a report on the application of ocean observation technology in rivers and lakes at the special forum of "Water Ecological Protection and Environmental Governance".
