The construction of farmland water conservancy is not only an important measure to implement the strategy of storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology, but also an urgent need to ensure food security and achieve high-quality development of water conservancy. It is necessary to grasp the progress, seize the speed, and do everything possible to complete the annual goals and tasks.
In winter, water conservancy construction is always the busiest. The national winter and spring farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland construction television conference held not long ago pointed out that vigorously promote the construction of farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland, enhance the ability of agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation, make concerted efforts to complete various construction tasks, continuously improve the quality of cultivated land, and consolidate the basic support for ensuring national food security and accelerating the construction of an agricultural power.
Water conservancy is repaired in winter to increase confidence in the coming year. The construction of farmland water conservancy is not only an important measure to implement the strategy of storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology, but also an urgent need to ensure food security and achieve high-quality development of water conservancy. In recent years, China has continued to carry out large-scale farmland water conservancy construction. At present, more than 7,000 large and medium-sized irrigation areas have been built across the country, forming a relatively complete network system of storage, diversion, lifting, transmission and drainage. In view of the drought in northwest China that occurred this summer, the water conservancy departments have done a good job in dispatching water volume in each irrigation area, and have made every effort to ensure irrigation water for more than 13 million mu of corn and other autumn grain crops, thus providing a solid water conservancy guarantee for this year's grain harvest.
Grain production is fundamentally in cultivated land, and the lifeblood is in water conservancy. Although China's grain output has been maintained at 1 for many yearsMore than 3 trillion catties, but the foundation is not yet solid, and it is still threatened by various extreme climates, such as drought and floods. For example, in the summer of this year, many places in China suffered heavy rains, floods, typhoons and other disasters, and rural water conservancy facilities in Hebei, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other provinces were damaged to varying degrees. From a global perspective, in recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, and the task of checking and filling gaps and improving the shortcomings and weaknesses of agricultural disaster prevention, disaster prevention and mitigation as soon as possible is very urgent.
Water conservancy projects such as reservoirs, rivers, embankments, and irrigation canals are important guarantees for the safety of farmland. It is necessary to speed up the construction of major water conservancy projects and get a good grasp of repairing water conservancy facilities damaged by disasters. In particular, it is necessary to use the 1 trillion yuan national debt to the best of its ability, speed up the improvement of the flood control engineering system in the river basins, especially in the major river basins in the northern region, and enhance the resilience and adaptability of agriculture in dealing with natural disasters.
From the perspective of historical experience, the key measures to consolidate the foundation of food security in an all-round way are the construction of high-standard farmland. It is necessary to determine the scope and sequence of construction in accordance with the requirements of the plan for gradually turning all permanent basic farmland into high-standard farmland, so as to ensure that every acre of farmland will be built into one acre and that the overall grain production capacity will be greatly enhanced. We should speed up the preparation of a national plan for the development of farmland irrigation, and study and determine the scale, quantity, and regional distribution of irrigated area in connection with the construction of water network projects. We will continue to promote the continuous construction and modernization of large and medium-sized irrigation areas, do a good job in connecting backbone projects and field projects, ensure that more than 1,200 large and medium-sized irrigation areas are modernized with quality and quantity during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and improve the capacity and level of water supply services.
At present, many places across the country are seizing the first period of water conservancy construction, grasping the progress and speed, and doing everything possible to complete the annual water conservancy construction goals and tasks. While speeding up the construction of various water conservancy projects, water conservancy departments and construction units at all levels must always tighten the string of safe production and attach great importance to the possible impact of disastrous weather such as low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing. It is necessary to strictly guard against sticking to key areas such as water conservancy projects under construction, reservoirs at risk of disease, and facilities damaged by floods in rural areas, not to let go of any hidden danger, to complete the tasks of each target node to the letter, with quality and quantity, to ensure the demand for water for agricultural production in the spring of the coming year, and to ensure the increase of grain production, agricultural efficiency, and peasants' income.
