Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 12 (Reporter Liu Shiping) Jiang Xuguang, chairman of China South-to-North Water Diversion Group Co., Ltd., said on the 12th that 2023 is a key year to accelerate the high-quality development of the follow-up projects of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the construction of a national water network. The South-to-North Water Diversion Group will Based on the strategic positioning of "leading enterprises in the water diversion and supply industry, leading enterprises in national water network construction, and key enterprises in water security assurance", we will accelerate the planning and construction of follow-up projects of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the construction of the national water network, and accelerate the construction of a world-class enterprise.

  Jiang Xuguang said at the 2023 working conference of the South-to-North Water Diversion Group that in 2023, the South-to-North Water Diversion Group will focus on promoting the planning and construction of the follow-up projects of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, speed up the smooth flow of the main arteries of the national water network, and improve the "four horizontal and three vertical" planning layouts.

Focusing on project layout, implementation arrangement, construction and operation system, water price, investment and financing mechanism, digital twin, etc., deeply participate in the revision of the overall plan of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project; build a high-standard and high-quality construction project to divert the river from the Han to Han, and coordinate and promote preliminary design approval and key technologies Relevant work such as tackling key problems, preliminary construction of temporary projects, and bidding for main projects will speed up the progress of project construction and promote construction to reach its peak as soon as possible.

  At the same time, actively promote the planning and construction of other follow-up projects on the east and middle routes, speed up the revision and improvement of the feasibility study report of the second phase of the east route, focus on promoting the construction of flood control and safety guarantee projects on the middle route, promote the demonstration and implementation of the storage and storage projects along the central route in accordance with laws and regulations, and actively promote the main canal of the central route Tapping the potential and expanding the preliminary work; speeding up the preliminary work of the western route project, striving for early approval of the project, and creating conditions for the construction and implementation as soon as possible.

Focus on the work of flood control and ice-age water transfer for existing projects, accelerate scientific and technological research on major issues, and accelerate the construction of digital twins for South-to-North Water Diversion.

  In 2022, the implementation of the follow-up projects of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will be accelerated, and the construction of the project of diverting the river to fill the Han River will be quickly realized.

Statistics show that in 2022, the central line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will divert 9.212 billion cubic meters of water, which is 127% of the annual plan; the east line northward extension project will replenish 189 million cubic meters of water to the north of the Yellow River, which is 215% of the annual plan, helping the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to achieve a century It is the first time that the whole line of water flows through.
