The Ministry of Water Resources deploys work to ensure the safety of snow prevention and water supply during the Spring Festival
Beijing, February 10 (Reporter Wang Hao) The reporter learned from the Ministry of Water Resources: Since mid-January, as the temperature rises, part of the frozen section of the Yellow River has gradually opened up, and the lower reaches of the river have been opened on February 3.
As of February 9, the length of the closure of the Yellow River was still 793 kilometers, including 714 kilometers in the upper reaches and 79 kilometers in the middle.
The current situation of the Yellow River is generally stable and controllable.
Affected by persistently low rainfall and insufficient water storage in local reservoirs, provinces such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan, and Yunnan have experienced droughts of varying degrees.
Effective measures such as emergency water transfer, construction of drought-resistant emergency projects, restriction of high water-consuming industries and water use for power generation, as well as water supply and water supply are taken in arid areas in a timely manner. During the Spring Festival, the people's basic domestic water can be guaranteed.
The Ministry of Water Resources proposed that departments at all levels should do a good job in preventing flooding on the Yellow River and fighting drought in the southern arid areas to ensure that the people enjoy a safe, happy and peaceful Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival, some migrant workers spend the New Year on the spot, and some return to their hometowns to celebrate the festival. Drought-resistance and water supply coverage are wider. At the same time, they attach great importance to the water demand of the people in poverty-stricken areas and take more detailed and detailed measures to combat drought.
Strengthen the monitoring and early warning of cold and drought conditions, finely schedule water conservancy projects, further refine emergency response plans for emergencies that may occur during the Spring Festival, and implement measures to villages and people to ensure the safety of cold prevention and the water safety of people in dry areas.
