     Nansi Lake is also part of the South-North Water Transfer Project, a multi-billion dollar effort to move Yangtze River water through canals and reservoirs into the Yellow River watershed in arid northern China. Nansi Lake helps convey some of that water and serves as a storage point on the project’s eastern route, which began operating in December 2013.

     Nansi Lake is also a recipient of medical, sewage treatment plant, livestock and aquaculture wastewater, which are the major sources of antibiotic pollution. In 2009, the aquaculture area of the Nansi Lake Basin reached 735.01 km2 with 0.495 million fishery products, and the numbers of cows, pigs and chickens were 0.95, 7.2 and 105 million heads, respectively (Wang et al., 2015). According to the report, the amount of antibiotics in medical wastewater in Jining is as high as μg·L−1 (Sun, 2015), and antibiotics have been found in pig faeces from a farm in Heze, which had the highest concentration of 764.4 mg kg−1 (Pan et al., 2011). The wastewater is mainly transmitted through inflowing rivers into Nansi Lake, and approximately 200,000 m3 of domestic sewage and 600,000 m3 of industrial wastewater are discharged every day (Wang et al., 2016a, 2016b).

From the Tongyong Pinyin[1] romanization of the Mandarin 楠西 (Nánsi, literally “west of Nanzihsian River”).

     The Nansi District was formerly known as the "Jiaba Community", and was one of the early territories of the Taivoan, as well as where the Zou resided. Later, due to the invasion of the Siraya tribe, the community members later migrated out to regions such as Gongguan, Paoziliao (Kaohsiung County), and Daciouyuan. During the time of the Japanese occupation, because of its location at the west of the "Nanzihsian River", it was therefore renamed Nansi ("si" meaning "west"). A village and village hall were established here, under the governance of Sinhua District of Tainan Province. After the war in 1945, it was renamed Nansi Township, and was changed to Nansi District after the merging of Tainan City and County on December 25th, 2010.
