China News Service, April 8th. In response to the construction of the flood prevention and preparation water conservancy project this year, Zhang Xiangwei, director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, said at the press conference on the 8th that as of March 31, the water damage caused by the flood season last year was The repair rate of the project is nearly 80%, and it should be basically completed before the main flood season.

  On April 8, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the State Council's policies on the construction of water conservancy projects in 2022.

At the meeting, a reporter asked: How is the construction of water conservancy projects in view of this year's flood prevention and preparation?

At present, the epidemic situation in some areas is still running at a high level. Will it affect the construction process?

  Zhang Xiangwei introduced that it is necessary to speed up the repair of water-damaged water conservancy facilities.

During the flood season last year, some reservoirs, embankments and other facilities were damaged.

The Ministry of Water Resources, in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, issued the central water conservancy disaster relief fund in a timely manner to support local governments in carrying out the restoration of water-damaged water conservancy facilities.

At the same time, establish a ledger for the progress of water damage restoration in various places, carry out "weekly dispatch and monthly notification", and strengthen the supervision and inspection of the construction progress and project quality of water damage restoration projects.

As of March 31, the restoration rate of water damage projects caused by the flood season last year was nearly 80%, and it should be basically completed before the main flood season.

  In addition, Zhang Xiangwei said that it is necessary to do a good job in the safety of construction projects in flood season.

Strictly implement the primary responsibility of the project legal person for safe flood control, the main responsibility of all parties involved in the construction, and the supervisory responsibility of the water administrative departments at all levels and river basin management agencies, and also to do a good job in the project flood control plan, exceeding the standard flood plan and training drills , In particular, implement the measures of civil air defense, physical defense, and technical defense, and carry out full-coverage, pull-net-type supervision and inspection to ensure flood safety.

  At the same time, Zhang Xiangwei pointed out that in response to this year's epidemic, it is necessary to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and engineering construction.

On the one hand, strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures, strengthen the management and control of construction site personnel, health monitoring and epidemic elimination.

Some major water conservancy projects, such as the Xijiang Datangxia Water Control Project currently under construction, are under closed management.

  On the other hand, increase construction scheduling, optimize construction organization, and strengthen construction resources to minimize the impact of the epidemic on engineering construction.

Judging from the figures, from January to March this year, the national water conservancy investment was 107.7 billion yuan, an increase of 35% compared with the same period last year.

Zhang Xiangwei said, "While strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic, we are making every effort to promote the construction of the project."
