In this news, the Ministry of Water Resources made it clear that it must ensure the realization of the goals of "no casualties, no dam collapse of reservoirs, no breach of important embankments, and no impact on important infrastructure".
In fact, since May, many southern provinces have experienced multiple rounds of heavy rainfall, and some areas have been hit by continuous heavy rain. From a longer time axis, the date of flood entry in my country this year is March 17, and the average flood entry date for many years ( April 1) is 15 days earlier.
According to CCTV, since the flood season began on March 17, the average rainfall in my country is 138 mm, which is 9% higher than the same period of normal years, and there have been 10 strong rainfall processes.
Let's look at the flood again. On May 30, the No. 1 flood in 2022 occurred in the Xijiang River in the Pearl River Basin. This also became the first numbered flood in my country's large rivers this year.

In terms of small and medium-sized rivers, 124 rivers in 19 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have experienced floods above the warning level. Since the same period, the average is 43 more.
According to the forecast previously released by the Ministry of Water Resources, floods and droughts will be severe in the flood season this year, with floods in the north and south, the north being heavier than the south, and drought in the middle.

In terms of financial support, in May, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Water Resources have allocated 500 million yuan in water conservancy and disaster relief funds to support safe flood relief work in various places.
In terms of strengthening supervision, multiple departments have intensively published a number of "responsible person lists".
The Ministry of Water Resources has announced the list of persons responsible for the safety of 719 large-scale reservoirs and dams across the country. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Water Resources, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of reservoir operation and operation, and strictly prohibit illegal operation exceeding the flood limit water level.

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Emergency Management in May, Chen Min, director of the Department of Flood Control and Drought Relief of the Ministry of Emergency Management, mentioned that it is necessary to focus on the prevention of extreme rainstorms, strengthen the linkage between rainstorm warning and emergency response, and establish a direct response to grassroots responsible persons. Mechanisms, improve rigid restraint mechanisms such as "shutdown and stop" in case of disasters, decisively organize personnel to transfer and avoid danger, and ensure the safety of people's lives.
At the press conference, he also specifically mentioned the "7.20" heavy rain disaster in Zhengzhou, Henan in 2021.

Be more precise and precise, you can’t stop the work arrangement at layers of papers and meetings, and treat what you say as being done and what you have done.”
