Tibet is one of the five major pastoral areas in China, and agriculture and animal husbandry play an important role in the economic and social development of Tibet.
Due to special natural, geographical, and climatic conditions, with the increase in irrigation and industrial water consumption of agriculture and animal husbandry, the expansion of urban scale, combined with climate change and the rise of snow lines, the groundwater level of some cities and villages has dropped significantly, rivers have dried up, and lakes and wetlands have shrunk. , Water ecological problems are prominent, hindering the development of economic construction, and the problems of residents' drinking water and farmland irrigation water need to be solved urgently.
Wang Li, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Tibet Branch of the China Hydropower and Infrastructure Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Hydropower and Infrastructure Administration), introduced that from the "Pearl of East Tibet" Qamdo to the "City of Sunlight" Lhasa, from the "land of barley" Shigatse to the "Secret Realm of Western Tibet" Ali, for more than 20 years, the hydropower foundation people have been adhering to the concept of "building a reservoir, establishing a monument, and benefiting the people of one place." Sweat and contribute wisdom to contribute to the revitalization of rural economic construction in Tibet.

Ding Hailong said that after the Panduo irrigation tunnel project is completed, the irrigation area will reach 652,800 mu, benefiting 431 natural villages in counties (districts) such as Linzhou and Dazi. The irrigation benefits of the project will be fully utilized, ensuring the Lhasa river basin. Food security; it can provide 85 million cubic meters of industrial water for Lhasa every year, and the water supply guarantee rate can be increased from 73% to 95%. At the same time, it also greatly improves the power generation efficiency of the Bangduo power station, in order to alleviate the power shortage of the Tibet power grid. , Especially the shortage of electricity in winter has contributed.

"Before we watered the highland barley, we had to climb a mountain, run more than a dozen miles, and use an ox cart to drag the water. We couldn't water much in a day. Time is on the road. Now it's fine, in the ditch at the door of the house. When there is water, there is no need to cross mountains and ridges to fetch water." Zhaxi Duoji, a villager in Daga Village, Songpan Township, Linzhou County, relies on planting highland barley as the main source of family income.
