Poster News reporter Jiang Xueying reports from Beijing.
On December 12, the poster news reporter learned from the press conference held by the State Council Information Office that China achieved the annual target of more than 1 trillion yuan in national water conservancy construction one month ahead of schedule, exceeding last year's level and setting a new historical record.
11 provinces, including Guangdong, Hubei and Shandong, have completed an investment of more than 50 billion yuan. Chen Min, vice minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that this year's investment in water conservancy construction and the completion of investment are the largest in history. While striving for financial input at all levels, we should deepen the reform of water conservancy investment and financing, actively strive for financial credit and social capital to invest in water conservancy construction, and raise construction funds through multiple channels.
More than 1 trillion yuan of investment is mainly invested in four areas.
In 2022, the national water conservancy construction will complete an investment of 1,089.3 billion yuan. From January to November 2023, the national water conservancy construction completed an investment of 1,093.8 billion yuan, an increase of 85.4 billion yuan compared with the same period last year, and reached the level of 1 trillion yuan one month ahead of schedule, exceeding the level of completed investment in the whole of last year. Zhang Xiangwei, director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, further said that among the more than 1 trillion yuan completed this year, 11 provinces have completed an investment of more than 50 billion yuan, of which Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Shandong, and Zhejiang have completed an investment of more than 60 billion yuan. The completed investment of these 11 provinces, which exceeds 50 billion yuan, accounts for 61% of the entire completed investment in the country, which is a very large contribution.
This year, the investment of more than 1 trillion yuan is mainly in four areas:
Construction of flood control engineering system in river basins. Including the "14th Five-Year Plan" flood control project in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the second phase of the Huaihe River estuary, the main stream of the Xijiang River, the Liaohe River, and the embankment around the Taihu Lake, as well as the construction of flood control backbone projects in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Haihe River basin and other important flood storage and detention areas in the river basin, as well as the treatment of small and medium-sized rivers, the prevention and control of mountain floods, and the reinforcement of dangerous reservoirs.
Construction of major water diversion projects and key water source projects in the national water network. The completed investment is 514.8 billion yuan, and the investment in the flood control engineering system in the river basin just now is 293.8 billion yuan. The 514.8 billion yuan of major water diversion projects of the national water network include the allocation of water resources in Guangdong around the Beibu Gulf, the second phase of the diversion of water from the Yangtze River to the Huai River, and the diversion of water from Inner Mongolia to Liaoning, as well as the construction of large reservoirs such as Kaihua in Zhejiang, Dongtaizi in Inner Mongolia, and Fengshan in Guizhou, as well as the construction and renovation of irrigation areas and water supply projects in rural areas.
The ecological environment of rivers and lakes has been restored. It has completed an investment of 192.1 billion yuan, including the restoration and treatment of water ecology of important rivers and lakes such as Mulan River in Fujian Province and Chagan Lake in Jilin, as well as soil and water conservation and comprehensive treatment of groundwater overexploitation areas.
Other projects such as hydrological infrastructure and smart water conservancy have completed an investment of 93.1 billion yuan, including the construction of rainwater monitoring and forecasting systems, digital twin river basins, and the maintenance of water conservancy facilities.
Zhang Xiangwei said that the accelerated construction of these projects has expanded effective investment in water conservancy and made positive contributions to expanding domestic demand and promoting economic recoveryAt the same time, it plays an important role in ensuring the safety of flood control, water supply, food security and ecological security in river basins and regions.
The completion rate of investment in major water conservancy projects reached 861%
Major water conservancy projects have the advantages of absorbing large investment, long industrial chains, and creating many jobs, and are an important means to promote stable growth and employment. Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Water Resources has anchored the national water network construction target and adopted a series of effective measures to accelerate the construction of the project. Major water conservancy projects are progressing smoothly, the quality and safety are generally controllable, and they have played a positive role in ensuring water security in river basins and regions.
Wang Shengwan, director of the Department of Water Conservancy Engineering Construction of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that as of the end of November, a total of 1,209 major water conservancy projects had been invested300 million yuan, and the investment completion rate reached 861%。
The construction of a number of projects has been accelerated. Forty-three major projects, including the Guangxi Water Resources Allocation Project around the Beibu Gulf, the Yaojiaping Water Conservancy Project in Hubei Province, the Fenghuangshan Reservoir in Anhui Province, the Xiong'an Trunk Canal Project in Hebei Province, the Tengchong Large-scale Irrigation Area Project in Yunnan Province, the Kinmen Water Supply and Water Source Guarantee Project in Fujian Province, and the Anqing River Section Treatment Project of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province have started construction. These projects are distributed in more than 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) and will play a role in flood control, water supply, irrigation, ecology and other aspects.
A number of projects have achieved important node goals. The Kurgan Water Conservancy Hub in Xinjiang and the Qingyukou Reservoir in Sichuan have been intercepted, the Guanmenzuizi Reservoir in Heilongjiang and the Fengshan Reservoir in Guizhou have been capped, the Geshan Reservoir in Heilongjiang, the Zhuxi Reservoir in Zhejiang, and the Tianjiaotan Water Conservancy Hub in Hainan have been stored in the lower gates, the second phase of the Gansu Water Supply Diversion Water Supply has been opened to water, and the Qinghai Reservoir Gorge Water Conservancy Hub and the Nianpanshan Water Conservancy and Hydropower Hub in Hubei Province have been put into operation for power generation.
A number of project benefits have been brought into full play. The Anhui River Diversion Project has been opened to water and navigation, and the work of water diversion along the whole line is being accelerated. Shaanxi Hanjiwei Water Conservancy Project ** Gorge Water Conservancy Hub Lower Gate Water Storage, Qinling Water Conveyance Tunnel and Huangchigou Water Distribution Hub completed the water, successfully achieved the goal of early water supply to Xi'an City, the project entered the stage of comprehensive trial operation, and realized the clear flow of the Han River through the Qinling Mountains to moisten the land of Qinchuan. The second phase of the Qinghai Dajihuang West Trunk Canal and the North Trunk Canal has been put into trial operation, and together with the four previously completed projects, including the main water diversion canal and the first phase of the North Trunk Canal, the Dajihuang diversion project can gradually bring full play to its comprehensive benefits and further ensure the drinking water safety of 3 million people of all ethnic groups in eastern Qinghai. The Datengxia Water Conservancy Project in Guangxi has been completed one after another, and the improvement project of the clear water into the lake in Tiaoxi, Zhejiang Province has completed the completion and acceptance, and has been transferred to the operation management stage, which will give full play to the benefits of the project.

Solidly carry out special actions to improve the quality of rural water supply, and jointly investigate with relevant departments to promote the rectification of 1,211 water quality problems in various localities. More than 75% of the country's rural water supply projects are equipped with purification and disinfection equipment. Project management has been strengthened, and a number of rural water supply projects have been managed in a standardized manner.
Consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation and strengthen the bottom line. We will make every effort to fight against floods and droughts and ensure the safety of drinking water, guide flood-stricken areas such as Beijing, Hebei, Jilin, and Heilongjiang to speed up the repair of water-damaged water supply projects, strengthen water quality testing, and carry out post-disaster reconstruction in an orderly manner. The drought-stricken areas of the four provinces and autonomous regions in the northwest and the five provinces and municipalities in the southwest have implemented measures such as emergency water transfer, extension of the pipe network, opening up emergency water sources, and pulling and delivering water to solve the drinking water difficulties of people and livestock. Organize all provinces to carry out large-scale investigations on drinking water safety issues, strengthen dynamic monitoring, and ensure that the rural water supply problems reflected by various channels are dynamically cleared. From January to November, a total of 181 have been resolved80,000 rural people have temporary and recurrent drinking water problems.
In the next step, the Ministry of Water Resources will guide all localities to comprehensively promote the high-quality development of rural water supply and ensure the safety of drinking water for the masses. Xu Dezhi said.
