[Explanation] In the scorching sun of Jianghuai in June, tens of thousands of builders sweated like rain on the construction site of Jianghuai Huaiyin, seized the working hours and fought on the front line, and used hard work to develop a blueprint for the benefit of the people with "Jianghuai" hand in hand and shipping connected.

On June 16, at the control hub of diverting the Yangtze River to Huaihe River, workers wore safety helmets and safety ropes, making the final sprint for the project of diverting the Yangtze River to Huaihe River, which is about to be tested.

  [Explanation] According to reports, as a major cross-basin and cross-provincial strategic water resource allocation and comprehensive utilization project in China, the project of diverting the river to the Huaihe River is divided into three sections from south to north: diverting the river to the nest, communicating with the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and sending the river water to the north.

  This is called the Caichao Line. The line from Caizi Lake to Chaohu Lake has a flow of 150 flows from the Zongyang River Diversion Pumping Station. Then there is the Xizhao Line. It enters Chaohu Lake through Xihe and Zhaohe, and then the water flows from Chaohu. Further north.

After the opening of the river-to-Huai Caichao line, it will play a great role in improving the guarantee rate of irrigation water along the Caichao line and the Xizhao line. For example, the arid and water-deficient areas in the Caichao watershed of the Lujiang River will be more convenient to use in the future.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the Construction Management Office of the Jiangxi Huaihuai Lujiang River has undertaken the construction tasks of 55 kilometers of Caichao Line, 74 kilometers of Xizhao Line, and 5.5 kilometers of Xiaohe Branch Line. The total estimated investment of the project is 13 billion yuan (the same below). At present, 11.3 billion yuan has been completed.

95 kilometers north from the Jiang-Huai-Huai-Lujiang Control Hub, at the Jiang-Huai-Huai Shushan Pumping Station, Wang Tongru, director of the Hefei Construction Management Department of the Jiang-Huai-Huai Engineering Co., Ltd., is instructing technicians to install and debug the water pump.

  The total management length of Hefei Construction Management Office is 32.04 kilometers, spanning Shushan District, High-tech Zone, Economic Development Zone and Feixi County. At present, 86% of the total investment has been completed, and the underwater projects below the first-class platform of 19.6 (meters) have been completed. , and through the acceptance, the parts above the second-level platform are fully (in progress), and the construction progress is being accelerated in an all-round way in accordance with the group's goal of trial water and trial navigation.

  [Explanation] According to reports, the Shushan Pumping Station of the Shushan Hub of the Jiang-Huaihuai Diversion Project undertakes the important task of crossing the Yangtze-Huaihe watershed with the Yangtze River water. After completion, it will become the mixed-flow pumping station with the largest installed capacity and the largest flow in Asia, and its construction scale ranks first among the eight major hubs of the Jiang-Huaihuai Diversion Project. .

Wang Tongru, 57 years old this year, started working in 1988 and has been working on the water conservancy front for more than 30 years. He is currently the director of the Construction Management Department of Jiangxi Huaihe River.

  In fact, the project of diverting Jiangxi to Huaihe River is an important infrastructure to solve our northern Anhui people's yearning for a better life.

From the beginning of 2018 to this year, I have spent more than four years in construction management. Personally, I am full of pride. Although sometimes it is more difficult and sometimes more fatigued, I still maintain a good mental state, because I I feel that I have done my due diligence for our country, for our province, and for the national economic infrastructure.

  [Explanation] In addition to providing urban and rural water supply and developing Jianghuai shipping, the Jianghuai River Diversion Project also undertakes the important tasks of irrigating and replenishing water and improving the ecological environment of Chaohu Lake and Huaihe River.

In 2017, Wang Tongru participated in the construction of this major livelihood project. With more than 30 years of working experience, Wang Tongru participated in the construction of many water conservancy projects, and also witnessed the development of water conservancy in China over the past 30 years.

  Thirty years ago, water conservancy was the lifeblood of agriculture, mainly serving agricultural irrigation or a small amount of urban water supply.

With the development of the national economy, the water supply structure has undergone great changes. The water conservancy industry has developed from a basic industry that mainly served agriculture to now, as a basic industry of the national economy, serving economic and social development, and ecological Great changes have taken place in the improvement of the environment and the protection and service of people's livelihood.

  [Explanation] As early as 1,800 years ago, Cao Cao excavated an artificial canal at the Jianghuai watershed to transport grain and grass to the south.

After the founding of New China, the idea of ​​opening up the Jianghuai in Anhui has surfaced again.

On December 29, 2016, the mobilization meeting for the construction of the Yangtze River to Huai River Project was held on the banks of Chaohu Lake, marking the beginning of this major water conservancy project from planning to reality.

By the end of 2022, the project of diverting the Yangtze River to Huaihe River will achieve the goal of testing water and navigation nodes.

This dream of communicating with JAC for thousands of years is about to become a reality.
