Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client, March 26th, the afternoon of the 26th. The State Council ’s joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference to answer major water conservancy project planning, resumption of work and production, protection of water supply during the epidemic prevention period, and spring irrigation supply. The reporter asked.
The investment scale of major water conservancy projects in the past three years exceeds one trillion
Major water conservancy projects are an important infrastructure to ensure national water security, and also an important area for complementing the shortcomings of national infrastructure. Shi Chunxian, director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that 142 major projects identified by the state have now started 142, and the scale under construction exceeds 1 trillion.
Shi Chunxian pointed out that in addition to the infrastructure protection role of major projects, if it is viewed from an economic perspective, it also has two advantages: first, major water conservancy projects have a wide coverage, large investment, long industrial chain, and more job creation opportunities. The characteristics can well play the role of investment pull. Secondly, major water conservancy projects generally have a good planning foundation, and most of them have been proven for many years. They have the conditions to speed up construction and will not cause overcapacity problems after completion. Therefore, in response to this situation, the Ministry of Water Resources has planned a number of important projects in advance and relatively good working conditions in the early stage. Now it is initially considered that there are more than a hundred in the past three years and dozens of them this year. The investment scale will also exceed one trillion yuan. The preliminary work of these projects has a good foundation, local enthusiasm is high, and there are no major environmental constraints. As long as conditions are met, construction can start soon.
Regarding the promotion effect of major water conservancy projects on employment, Shi Chunxian introduced that the relevant units of the China Macroeconomic Research Institute proposed that every 100 billion yuan invested in major water conservancy projects can increase GDP by 0.15 percentage points and create 490,000 jobs. This effect Still good. In the next step, the Ministry of Water Resources will continue to adopt layered responsibility, strengthen supervision and inspection, and solidly advance the preliminary work to provide good conditions for the smooth start of the project.
92% of major water conservancy projects under construction have resumed
With the resumption of work and production, water conservancy projects in various places have gradually resumed construction. Wang Shengwan, director of the Water Conservancy Engineering Construction Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, pointed out that at present, the resumption and production of major water conservancy projects are progressing smoothly. 101 projects under construction have resumed 101, accounting for 92% of the total number of projects. Outside the project, it should be done. Northeast and northwestern regions also have engineering resumption, so from the current 92% point of view, the rate of resumption has increased significantly compared with previous years. In particular, 101 jobs have been resumed so far, which should be ahead of the original goal of achieving more than 100 jobs before the end of March.
From the perspective of the resumption of work, nearly 100,000 people have been employed, accounting for about 82% of the normal number. Among them, 33 projects including the Diversion of the Yangtze River and the Huai River, the Central Yunnan Diversion, the allocation of water resources in the Pearl River Delta, and the Guangxi Datengxia Water Conservancy Hub have basically reached normal construction levels. Other water conservancy projects are also actively promoted. While resuming production and re-production of major projects, it is also doing a good job of rebuilding and rebuilding production of newly built small and medium-sized reservoirs, removing dangers and strengthening reservoirs, and rehabilitating small and medium-sized rivers. Until now, the rebuilding rate of newly constructed small and medium-sized reservoirs has exceeded 90%, the rate of reinstatement of reservoirs for reinforcement and danger removal reached over 80%, and the rate of reinstatement for small and medium river rehabilitation projects also reached 70% -80%. At present, there is no epidemic situation in resumption projects, and the situation of resumption production is stable.
Wang Shengwan said that the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on major water conservancy projects is temporary, and the overall situation of major water conservancy projects is good. By strengthening coordination and scheduling, optimizing the construction organization, and increasing the input of resources, that is, labor, etc., it is possible to drive back the behind schedule.
Wang Shengwan introduced that there was no suspension of the Datengxia Water Conservancy Project during the Spring Festival. The impact of the epidemic on the project was mainly due to the construction unit in Hubei and the supervision unit. Thanks to the joint efforts of the project legal person and the participating parties, the normal construction level has been restored, and the number of on-the-job personnel has reached more than 5,500, and the rate of return to work has reached 100%. The construction progress of the project meets the requirements of the overall construction plan. The sluice has been stored on the 10th of this month, and the goal of generating power for the first unit and navigating the ship lock will be smoothly achieved in the near future.
In terms of the river-to-Jihuai project, more than 12,300 people have been employed in Anhui projects, and the rate of return to work is close to normal. Projects in Henan Province have more than 1,000 people on duty, with a 100% return rate. As for the south-to-north water diversion project, from the current point of view, the main northeast emergency water supply project of the project under construction has resumed on February 17th, and has now reached the normal construction level, and the job arrival rate is 100%.
More than 95% of water supply projects are operating normally
Chen Mingzhong, director of the Department of Rural Water Resources and Hydropower of the Ministry of Water Resources, pointed out that up to now, rural water supply projects have been operating normally and steadily, providing a better water supply guarantee for the prevention and control of epidemics. Chen Mingzhong said that the Ministry of Water Resources has opened 12314 reporting and supervision telephones this year, and through the reporting and supervision telephones, he has extensively listened to some problems reflected by rural residents in drinking water. Through all levels of understanding, the overall feeling is very good. More than 95% of the water supply projects are operating normally and smoothly. The grass-roots water conservancy departments are on-the-job to perform their duties. The water plant implements closed management to ensure safe operation and encounter problems. Able to repair in time.
Chen Mingzhong introduced that there are some problems caused by the epidemic situation. The Ministry of Water Resources has strengthened the organization of maintenance teams to ensure the operation of rural water supply projects through cross-regional joint adjustments. Various localities have also stepped up their efforts. For example, while Hubei Province did its own epidemic prevention and control safety during the epidemic prevention and control, it set up five working groups in 17 cities and prefectures, contacted and supervised them in sections, and 1132 in 17 prefectures. The Rural Water Supply Service Guarantee Task Force has more than 10,000 people engaged in water supply service guarantees. During the epidemic, emergency rescue and repairs were carried out 6,717 times. Beijing has also organized a rural water supply service security team to send technology and services to the villages to jointly guarantee the security of rural water supply during the epidemic.
Regarding the operation of water conservancy projects in Hubei Province, Ruan Limin, the director of the Department of Operation Management of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that during the epidemic prevention and control period, water conservancy projects in Hubei province operated safely and steadily, with reasonable storage scheduling. Currently, 334 large and medium-sized reservoirs in the province are effectively storing water. The volume reached 4.33 billion cubic meters, which provided water conservancy support for Hubei's epidemic prevention and control and resumed production. The specific manifestations are as follows: First, the operation of water conservancy projects is safe and there are no major hidden dangers. Second, the quality and quantity of urban and rural domestic water supply are guaranteed. Third, actively serving spring ploughing and spring irrigation, the province's 538 large and medium-sized irrigation districts have cumulatively delivered 4 billion cubic meters of water. Fourth, various work on flood prevention and preparation is being actively and orderly advanced.
Spring irrigation is generally guaranteed this year
It is the spring irrigation season in the north. How can the Ministry of Water Resources ensure that the agricultural spring irrigation does not miss the agricultural time while doing the epidemic prevention and control work? Chen Mingzhong said that the Ministry of Water Resources has adopted four measures: First, in the early spring irrigation period, do a good job of forecasting water conditions, rain conditions, and working conditions to provide a better basis for spring irrigation. In general, this year's rainfall is 40% higher than the same period of the previous year. At present, the total water storage of 6,920 large and medium-sized reservoirs nationwide is 410 billion cubic meters, which is 14% more than the same period of the previous year. The situation of spring irrigation this year is better than previous years. . Agricultural water use in large and medium-sized irrigation areas is basically guaranteed.
Second, scientific scheduling, timely coordination and problem solving. Set up spring irrigation accounts for irrigation districts, understand and track the real-time dynamics of various places, and schedule water conservancy projects in a timely manner to provide good engineering guarantee for spring irrigation. For example, the Xiaolangdi Reservoir of the Yellow River has continuously increased the discharge flow since February 11 to ensure the need for spring irrigation downstream. A total of 23 million acres of farmland were irrigated along the Yellow Irrigation District, and the amount of water diversion reached 2.2 billion cubic meters.
Thirdly, optimize the water supply plan of the irrigation area, do a good job of inspection and maintenance, optimize the spring irrigation irrigation plan based on water storage and soil moisture conditions, strengthen communication and connection with water users, and make the spring irrigation irrigation water plan detailed.
Fourth, innovate means to overcome the impact of the epidemic. Through telephone, network, and video, implement detailed plans and schemes for spring irrigation water distribution, communicate with farmers, and strengthen scheduling. This year's spring irrigation work is generally very stable and orderly. So far, 157 large-scale irrigation districts in 17 provinces have started spring irrigation. The irrigated area has reached more than 45 million acres and the amount of water diversion has reached 5.8 billion cubic meters, providing a good guarantee. . Other regions are also preparing spring irrigation plans and preparing for spring irrigation in accordance with the needs of spring irrigation planting. This year's spring irrigation is generally guaranteed.
In addition, Tian Yitang, director of the Department of Water and Drought Disaster Prevention of the Ministry of Water Resources, mentioned that before the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the average flow at Yichang Station was about 4,000 cubic meters per second from January to March. After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, it shall be discharged at a rate of not less than 6000 cubic meters per second during the period in accordance with relevant regulations. Due to the need for epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production this year, the Ministry of Water Resources dispatched the Three Gorges to discharge at a rate of not less than 7000 cubic meters per second before March; after March 1, the Ministry of Water Resources dispatched the Three Gorges to increase the leakage to 9000 ~ 10000 cubic meters per second, to meet the needs of downstream work and production. Since the beginning of this year, the Three Gorges Reservoir has supplied more than 9 billion cubic meters of water to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, providing water protection for epidemic prevention and control, and resumption of production. In the next step, according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control and the need to resume production, the Ministry of Water Resources will continue to dispatch the Three Gorges Reservoir, and go all out to meet the water demand for resumption and production, while also ensuring water demand for power generation and shipping.
