[Hubei Huangmei River Diversion Irrigation Area Expansion Project Approved] On November 29, 2023, the feasibility study report for the new construction and expansion project of Huangmei Irrigation Area in Hubei Province was recently approved by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, with a total investment of 2.074 billion yuan. Huangmei River Diversion Irrigation Area is located in the food security industrial belt in the the Middle and Lower Yangtze Valley Plain Plain and the core area of the Jianghan Plain industrial belt. The new construction and expansion project of the Huangmei River Diversion Irrigation Area has been included in major plans such as the Comprehensive Plan for the Yangtze River Basin (2012-2030), the 14th Five Year Plan for Water Safety Guarantee in Hubei Province, and the Modern Water Network Plan for Jingchu Anlan in Hubei Province. The engineering design irrigation area is 562400 acres, involving six townships in Huangmei County and the Longgan Lake management area. The main construction content of the project includes dredging and protection of 62 backbone irrigation and drainage canal systems, with a total length of 351.36 kilometers, the construction of 2 new pumping stations, the demolition and reconstruction of 2 water diversion gates, the renovation of 483 irrigation and drainage canal system buildings, and the construction of information and management facilities in irrigation areas. After the implementation of the project, it can effectively fill the gaps in the irrigation and drainage infrastructure of the irrigation area, improve the irrigation guarantee rate, stabilize and increase the grain yield of the irrigation area, and promote the development of irrigation area production.

• [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
• On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
