On September 27, 2021, with the opening of the gates of the Qujiadian junction, the Yongding River’s ecological replenishment smoothly joined the Yongding New River to the sea, and the 865-kilometer river channel was fully connected to the sea. This is the first time that the Yongding River has connected mountains and seas since 1996. Water.

Building the Yongding River into a green ecological river corridor running through Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Shanxi is an important measure to promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to achieve breakthroughs in the field of ecological environment. Since the "Yongding River Comprehensive Management and Ecological Restoration Overall Plan" was formally implemented in 2017, a total of 4.1 billion yuan has been allocated from the central government to support 59 comprehensive management and ecological restoration projects to start construction. 581 kilometers of river courses have been renovated, and the upstream ecology of the Guanting Reservoir has basically been opened up. aisle. At the same time, increase agricultural water conservation in the upper reaches of the Yongding River, vigorously implement optimized allocation of water resources in the basin and unified regulation of ecological water volume, accumulatively supply nearly 960 million cubic meters of ecological water to the Yongding River, and promote the Sanggan River, Yanghe River, and Yongding River (three companies). Store above) and the 719-kilometer river course of Yongding New River has basically realized that there is water throughout the year, creating favorable conditions for the whole line of Yongding River.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Water Resources has thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Jinping’s important speech on water control, continued to scientifically promote the implementation of precise and precise water transfer, restore the ecological environment of rivers and lakes, and promote the high-quality development of water conservancy in the new stage. According to the "2021 Yongding River Ecological Water Dispatching Plan" issued, the ecological water supply for the entire Yongding River was started on August 28, through joint dispatch of Cetian Reservoir, Youyi Reservoir, Yanghe (Xiangshuibao) Reservoir, and Guanting Reservoir, Sanjiadian, Lugou Bridge and other projects, coordinate the inflow of Guanting Reservoir, Xiaohongmen reclaimed water, water diversion from the Yellow River, water diversion from the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion and North Canal. As of September 27, it has accumulated water supply to the plain section of the Yongding River. Nearly 70 million cubic meters, to achieve the goal of full line of Yongding River into the sea.

According to continuous monitoring, the groundwater level along the Yongding River has clearly risen, the water quality of rivers and lakes has improved significantly, the quality and stability of the ecosystem has gradually improved, and a green ecological river corridor has been initially formed. In the next step, relevant departments and agencies of the Ministry of Water Resources will work with Shanxi Provincial Water Resources Department, Beijing Water Affairs Bureau, Hebei Water Resources Department, Tianjin Water Affairs Bureau, and Yongding River Basin Investment Co., Ltd. to further strengthen dispatching, tracking, and supervision to ensure the effect of water replenishment. Keep playing. At the same time, strengthen the unified dispatch and management of water resources, improve the ability to optimize the allocation of water resources, and fully restore the ecological environment of the Yongding River and lakes, so that the Yongding River will become a "flowing river, a green river, a clean river, and a safe river" as soon as possible. The happiness river that benefits the people along the coast. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
