core reading

Major water conservancy projects are an important area of ​​infrastructure investment. Since the beginning of this year, water conservancy investment has continued to develop, and the construction of the national water network has been accelerated. With the continuous consolidation of the skeleton and the smoother circulation, the comprehensive benefits of the national water network construction are constantly emerging, which effectively guarantees the needs of production and living, and provides support for high-quality development.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The construction of the water network will be another century's picture scroll in the course of water control for the Chinese nation, and it will be recorded in the annals of history." , and promote the construction and modernization of key water sources, irrigation areas, and flood storage and detention areas.

Connected! At the construction site of Kaihua Reservoir in Zhejiang Province, the diversion tunnel was recently connected, laying the foundation for the project to complete the diversion and interception on schedule. The project will play an important role in the scientific dispatch of water resources in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River.

Capped! Recently, the Baitouwang Reservoir dam in Shibing County, Guizhou Province capped its top. After the project is completed, a clear water will provide drinking water for 120,000 people and irrigation of 18,000 mu of farmland.

Since the beginning of this year, water conservancy investment has continued to make efforts, the construction of major water conservancy projects has continuously refreshed the "progress bar", and the construction of the national water network has been accelerated. As of the end of July, 25 major water conservancy projects were newly started, 31,800 water conservancy projects were under construction, and the investment scale reached 1.7 trillion yuan; the investment in water conservancy construction was 567.5 billion yuan, an increase of 71.4% over the same period last year.

Networking supplementary network——

Build the main skeleton, open up the aorta, and smooth the microcirculation

"Constructing a national water network requires not only the main skeleton that stabilizes beams and columns, the aorta for threading needles and leads, but also the important knots of weaving the network and networking. Only in this way can the outline be clear and strong." Zhang Xiangwei, director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced. .

Open up the aorta and consolidate the main framework of the national water network.

"Drinking the water from the South-to-North Water Transfer, the scale is less, the water quality is better, and cooking porridge is delicious." The transfer of water for thousands of miles has changed the life of Ma Hailin, a villager in Hanxigu Village, Xinmatou Town, Qiu County, Hebei Province. Since the first phase of the East Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was fully opened, it has benefited more than 140 million people.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is the main skeleton of the national water network and an important part of the aorta. Recently, the first project of the follow-up project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the project of diverting the river and filling the Han River, has started. The two major projects of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the Three Gorges Reservoir will join hands. "The water conservancy department will continue to solidly promote the high-quality development of the follow-up project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, deepen the feasibility study and demonstration of the follow-up project of the east line, advance the planning of the west line project, actively cooperate with the revision of the overall plan, and continuously improve the 'four horizontal and three vertical' pattern." Zhang Xiangwei introduced.

Open up the backbone channels and improve the regional water distribution pattern.

The roadheader broke through the rock, and the Qinling Mountains are more than 1,800 meters underground. The water conveyance tunnel leading from Han to Wei and Qinling was completed at the beginning of this year. "Because the Qinling Mountains are separated, the distribution of water resources in the south and north of Shaanxi is uneven. The annual water transfer volume of the project is 1.5 billion cubic meters, which can benefit more than 14 million people." Dong Peng, general manager of Shaanxi Province Yinhan Jiwei Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. said.

The Qinghai Diversion Project to Huangshui connects the Datong River with the Huangshui Basin; the Chongqing West Water Resources Allocation Project allows the water of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River to be adjusted to each other through water pipelines and storage reservoirs. The channel and pipe network interweaves the veins of the national water network. By 2025, my country will build a number of major water diversion and key water source projects, adding 29 billion cubic meters of water supply capacity, and significantly enhancing the carrying capacity of water resources and the adaptability to economic and social development.

To build a national water network, it is still necessary to work on the smooth microcirculation of embroidery.

The water conservancy department has made every effort to open up the "last mile" of the national water network. As of the end of July, a total of 46.6 billion yuan has been invested in the construction of rural water supply projects, more than twice that of the same period last year; 2.51 billion yuan has been invested in the maintenance and maintenance of rural water supply projects, with 67,000 maintenance and repair projects serving 130 million rural people.

Zhang Xiangwei introduced that the water conservancy department has made overall plans to consider supporting projects and connection projects, and orderly implement the construction of water networks in provinces, cities and counties. It is expected that by 2025, the provincial water network construction planning system will be fully established, and the water network engineering construction will make positive progress.

Improve quality and efficiency——

Focus on weaknesses and weaknesses, and improve the ability to optimize the allocation of water resources

A road network that communicates with each other, allowing the smooth flow of goods. A grid across the sky lights up thousands of lights. What are the benefits of a national water network?

"Summer floods and winters are dry, and the north is short of Nanfeng. The spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in my country is extremely uneven, and the allocation of water resources does not meet the needs of economic and social development." Analysis of Li Yuanyuan, deputy director of the General Institute of Water Planning of the Ministry of Water Resources, "Building a national water network It is to focus on weak points and weak points, build a complete water conservancy project, improve the ability to optimize the allocation of water resources, and effectively solve the water bottleneck that affects development."

The "water supply network" ensures water safety.

The Daxingzhai Reservoir project, located in Aizhai Town, Jishou City, Hunan Province, has recently started. The project consists of three parts: hub, water supply and irrigation area. The total storage capacity of the reservoir is 113 million cubic meters, the engineering design irrigation area is 24,700 mu, and the average annual irrigation water volume is 8.11 million cubic meters. It will effectively improve Jishou City's flood control and water supply security capabilities, improve Agricultural irrigation conditions.

The water conservancy department builds an efficient and coordinated water supply system for storage, diversion, and adjustment, escorts water for production and domestic use, and continuously improves the water supply network system from water sources to fields and taps.

The "flood control network" protects rivers and rivers.

Major water conservancy projects have added confidence to flood control of large rivers. The "14th Five-Year Plan" flood control project in the lower reaches of the Yellow River started construction in early July. After the project is completed, it will effectively improve the river conditions of the wandering river section and improve the flood discharge and sediment transport capacity of the river. The renovation project of the Wuhu section of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province started on June 30. The project focuses on flood control and security, and takes into account comprehensive benefits such as shoreline utilization and environmental protection.

In the first half of this year, the water conservancy department focused on ensuring flood control safety, accelerated the improvement of the river basin flood control engineering system, and completed an investment of 131.3 billion yuan; at the same time, it promoted the construction of small and medium-sized rivers, the reinforcement of dangerous reservoirs, and the construction of weak links in flood control and flood discharge in key waterlogged areas. The Ministry of Water Resources proposed that by 2025, the prominent and weak links in flood control will be effectively resolved, the layout of flood control projects in the basin will be further optimized, and the system of flood control projects in the basin will be further improved.

The "irrigation network" ensures food security.

"The harvest depends on the water." There are more than 7,000 large and medium-sized irrigation areas, which are the main producing areas of grain and important agricultural products in my country, and an important guarantee for national food security. "This year, the existing large and medium-sized irrigated areas will continue to be built and renovated, and more than 25 million mu of irrigated area will be restored and improved. Priority will be given to building large and medium-sized irrigated areas into high-standard farmland," said Zhang Xiangwei. As of the end of July, 17.8 billion yuan has been invested in the construction and renovation of large and medium-sized irrigation areas. The State Council has made it clear that 3 of the 6 new large-scale irrigation areas to be promoted this year have started construction, and 455 large and medium-sized irrigation areas have been constructed and renovated.

A sound mechanism——

Solidly promote preliminary work, expand financing channels, and start a batch of mature projects

The construction of the national water network, especially the major water conservancy projects, can give full play to the advantages of large investment, long industrial chain and many employment creation.

It is estimated that every 100 billion yuan of investment in major water conservancy projects can drive GDP growth by 0.15 percentage points and create 490,000 new jobs. According to statistics, as of the end of July, the construction of water conservancy projects has absorbed 1.61 million jobs.

It is necessary to ensure that more than 30 major water conservancy projects are newly started this year. What should we do next? "The preliminary demonstration of major water conservancy projects is relatively complicated. We have put forward 19 work measures to comprehensively strengthen the construction of water conservancy infrastructure. Weekly meetings and monthly scheduling." Zhang Xiangwei introduced.

Expand multiple funding channels. "In order to further expand water conservancy investment, the Ministry of Water Resources is actively striving to increase the central government's financial input, and at the same time guides local governments to innovate work ideas, expand funding channels, and find ways to increase investment from local government special bonds, financial funds, and social capital." The relevant person in charge of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Water Resources said.

The Ministry of Water Resources will guide local governments to make good use of the medium and long-term loan financial support policies, carry out the pilot project of real estate investment trust funds in the field of water conservancy, and actively promote the cooperation between the government and social capital in water conservancy projects. In July, the newly implemented investment in water conservancy construction was 143.6 billion yuan, of which bank loans and social capital made 56.4 billion yuan, 1.9 times that of the previous month.

"Comprehensively strengthening the construction of water conservancy infrastructure is of great significance to expanding domestic demand, stabilizing investment, and stabilizing economic fundamentals. The water conservancy department improves the work promotion mechanism, strengthens ledger management, and conducts wall chart operations. On the basis of the major water conservancy projects that have started this year, We will start a batch of projects that are included in the plan and have mature conditions, and make every effort to strengthen the chain and build a strong network, so as to provide strong water support for high-quality development." said Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources.
