China News Service, Nanchang, August 25 (Reporter Wu Pengquan) At present, the sunny and hot weather in Ganpo continues, and the situation of drought relief and disaster relief is becoming more and more serious.

The Jiangxi Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters recently issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Doing a Good Job in Drought Relief and Disaster Relief" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), and issued 30 measures for drought relief and disaster relief to guide all departments in Jiangxi to do a good job in drought relief and disaster relief.

  The "Opinions" propose that, on the premise of ensuring people's basic life, identify water sources, make clear water accounts, make overall use of existing water resources, refine and formulate scientific water use plans, optimize the allocation of water for living, production and ecological use, and provide for poverty alleviation households, lonely elderly people Special groups such as women, children, and the disabled shall be responsible for ensuring drinking water safety on a household-by-house basis, and firmly adhere to the bottom line of drinking water safety.

On August 23, in Liu0xu, Sanli Township, Jinxian County, Nanchang City, by the Poyang Lake, the construction leader was directing the excavator operators to dig canals and store water.

  According to the "Opinions", orderly organize local professional rescue teams, as well as fire rescue, municipal and other departments, industrial and mining enterprises, and other social organizations with conditions, and decisively take emergency measures such as drilling wells and water delivery for people in remote mountainous areas and rural areas who have difficulty drinking water. Measures, for people who have difficulty drinking water around the urban water supply pipe network, engineering measures such as temporary pipe network extension, excavation of water intake troughs, and multi-level water extraction can be taken to effectively ensure domestic water.

  Jiangxi will optimize water resource scheduling, give priority to water diversion, water transfer, and water extraction, make use of natural water sources such as rivers and lakes as much as possible, and make overall use of various engineering water storage such as reservoirs, ponds, and hydropower stations, and maximize the use of surface water sources. On the basis of re-exploitation and utilization of groundwater sources.

  Jiangxi is one of the 13 major grain producing areas in China, and the continuous fine, hot and high temperature poses a threat to autumn grain production.

According to the "Opinions", focusing on ensuring food security, comprehensively assessing the disaster situation of crops, comprehensively adopting methods such as building irrigation and drainage stations, excavating drought-resistant wells, deploying water pumps, etc., strengthening power security, optimizing the allocation of water sources, and doing everything possible to ensure agricultural irrigation water demand. For farmland without irrigation conditions or engineering water shortage, it is necessary to strengthen moisture conservation measures and find ways to carry out supplementary irrigation.

  Jiangxi requires large and medium-sized irrigation areas in the province to thoroughly investigate the crop planting situation in the area, fully consider extreme conditions such as long-term ineffective rainfall, tap the existing water conservancy engineering facilities to adjust storage and water supply capacity, establish irrigation ledgers, and reasonably predict changes in water demand Trends, optimize and adjust the irrigation water supply plan in a timely manner, and carefully do a good job in the water distribution plan.

  In response to the disaster-affected people, especially the people living in difficulties due to drought, the "Opinions" proposed that relief materials and funds should be distributed in a timely manner, and efforts should be made to provide relief to the people in difficulty and resolutely prevent poverty from returning to poverty due to drought.

For those seriously affected by the disaster, it must be included in the scope of winter and spring assistance to ensure the basic livelihood of the people.
