From January to May 2022, China's water conservancy construction will be accelerated in an all-round way. In terms of promoting project start-up, there were 10,644 newly started projects with an investment scale of 414.4 billion yuan; among them, 609 projects with an investment scale of over 100 million yuan. In terms of expanding construction investment, China has implemented an investment of 606.1 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 155.4 billion yuan or 34.5% year-on-year; completed investment of 310.8 billion yuan, an increase of 109 billion yuan or 54% over the same period in 2021... This is the reporter The latest report card of water conservancy infrastructure construction learned from the Ministry of Water Resources.

Major water conservancy projects play an irreplaceable and fundamental role in ensuring national water security. At the same time, major water conservancy projects have the characteristics of large investment, long industrial chain and many employment opportunities. Since 2022, the Ministry of Water Resources has vigorously promoted the construction progress of major projects under construction, and at the same time accelerated the construction of a number of new projects.

At the press conference on accelerating the construction of water conservancy infrastructure held by the Ministry of Water Resources a few days ago, Wei Shanzhong, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced that in terms of promoting the start of the project, the improvement of the Wusong River, the restoration and management of the water ecology in the lower reaches of the Mulan River in Fujian, and the flood control of the Xiongan New Area The construction of 14 major water conservancy projects such as governance, Jiangxi Dayao Irrigation District, Guangxi Datangxia Water Conservancy Project Irrigation District, etc. started construction, with an investment scale of 86.9 billion yuan.

"In 2022, we will start 30 projects and strive for 40." Zhang Xiangwei, director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced that 14 major water conservancy projects have already started in 2022. A situation of building a batch and continuing to advance a batch. At present, the feasibility study reports of major projects such as flood control in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, reconstruction of the Yellow River culverts and gates in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, renovation of the Wuhu section of the Yangtze River, and the Daxingzhai Reservoir in Hunan have been approved, and construction will begin as soon as possible. In the near future, a number of major water conservancy projects will be started, such as the central route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the second phase of the Huaihe River into the sea, and the water resources allocation in Guangdong around the Beibu Gulf. project.

The overall progress of the reinforcement of dangerous reservoirs is smooth

Wang Shengwan, director of the Water Conservancy Engineering Construction Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that in 2022, the investment plan within the central budget will arrange for the implementation of 102 large and medium-sized reservoirs in danger of risk elimination and reinforcement. The construction of 64 medium-sized reservoirs has been started, and the operating rate is close to 80%. In the near future, the second batch of investment in the central budget will be arranged to support the reinforcement of 21 large and medium-sized dangerous reservoirs.

The construction of rural water supply projects is accelerated

Chen Mingzhong, director of the Rural Water Conservancy and Hydropower Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced that from January to May 2022, all localities have implemented an investment of 51.6 billion yuan in rural water supply projects, including 21.4 billion yuan in local special debt, 10.9 billion yuan in financial funds at all levels, and 9.4 billion in bank loans. Yuan, social capital of 5.1 billion yuan, and other channels of 4.8 billion yuan, and 6,474 construction sites have started. An investment of 29.3 billion yuan has been completed, 2,419 projects have been completed, and the water supply security level of the 9.32 million rural population has been improved.

Construction and Transformation of Large and Medium Irrigation Areas

In 2022, the central government will invest 13.7 billion yuan to support the modernization of 493 large and medium-sized irrigation areas, 349 of which have completed bidding and 320 have started construction. In addition, 2 of the 6 new large-scale irrigation areas planned to start construction in 2022 have already started. By the end of May 2022, the cumulative irrigated area of spring irrigation in China's large and medium-sized irrigation areas will reach 300 million mu, and the water supply will reach 44.9 billion cubic meters.

Regarding the key points of the construction of water conservancy projects in the next step, Wei Shanzhong said that firstly, it should be reflected early, and secondly, it should be reflected more. Completing 800 billion yuan of water conservancy investment is the bottom line task. On this basis, we can open as much as possible. In the next step, the Ministry of Water Resources will go all out to do a good job in project establishment, fund implementation, engineering construction and quality assurance related to the construction of water conservancy infrastructure.
