On February 28, the Ministry of Water Resources held a flood and drought disaster prevention work conference to thoroughly implement the general secretary's "two insistences, three changes" disaster prevention, mitigation and relief concept and the spirit of the important exposition on water control, analyze and judge the flood and drought situation this year, and deploy key work on flood and drought disaster prevention. Li Guoying, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense General and minister of water resources, attended and addressed the meeting, and Liu Weiping, vice minister of water resources, presided over the meeting.
On August 13, 2022, in Laotianchong Village, Qingshuping Town, Shuangfeng County, Loudi, Hunan Province, villagers are pumping water to fight drought. Visual China data map.
Li Guoying pointed out that this year is the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 10th anniversary of the important speech of the general secretary on ensuring national water security, and the key year to complete the tasks of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Resolutely adhere to the bottom line of water security.
Li Guoying stressed that it is necessary to always put the safety of the people's lives in the first place, anchor the personnel not to fail, the reservoir not to collapse, the important embankment not to break, the important infrastructure to not be impacted, and to ensure the safety of urban and rural water supply, and make all preparations as soon as possible. It is necessary to push forward the repair and reconstruction of water conservancy facilities after the disaster, focusing on key parts such as reservoirs and dams, spillways, venting facilities, dangerous sections of embankments, and buildings (structures) piercing embankments, as well as areas prone to flash flood disasters and flood storage and detention areas, to thoroughly investigate and rectify risks and hidden dangers, and ensure that pre-flood rectification and reform are in place.
It is necessary to speed up the construction of the "three lines of defense" for rainwater monitoring and forecasting, and improve the echelon early warning system of "risk research and judgment, scientific forecasting, early warning, and real-time feedback". It is necessary to speed up the construction of a digital twin water conservancy system, strengthen the deep integration of modern information technology and flood control work, and implement the scientific and accurate scheduling of the flood control engineering system of "one flow, one reservoir capacity, and one centimeter of water level" with the river basin as a unit. It is necessary to pay close attention to the implementation of defense measures in key links, strictly implement the responsibilities and measures for the safety of reservoirs and projects under construction, improve the flood prevention plan that exceeds the design standards, and improve the five-level responsibility system for flash flood disaster prevention at the county, township, village, group, and household levels. It is necessary to strictly control the space for flood storage and flood storage, comprehensively strengthen the management of reservoir capacity, promote the "four chaos" of rivers, lakes and reservoirs in depth, and strictly approve, supervise and manage non-flood control construction projects in flood storage and detention areas. It is necessary to persist in the simultaneous prevention and treatment of drought and flood, strengthen the capacity building of the "four precautions" for drought fighting, track the rain, water, agricultural and salty conditions on a rolling basis, reserve and scientifically dispatch drought-fighting water resources in advance, and accelerate the improvement of the ability and level of drought-fighting support.
Li Guoying demanded that the responsibility for flood prevention and drought control should be consolidated layer by layer, and the sense of responsibility of "always being at ease" should be transformed into the action force of "having the bottom of everything in mind", and earnestly ensure that the ideology, responsibility, plan, and team are in place, and strive to win the victory in flood and drought disaster prevention this year, so as to provide a strong water security guarantee for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization.
