Digging the canal -Jiangxi Yongxiu's drought resistance and hearing

August 16th, around 6 am. In the triangle township of Yongxiu County, Jiangxi, a large water flow came from the upper reaches of the river.

Watching the water surface gradually wider and the river water slowly poured into the newly digged canal, Xu Yunping, the head of the Triangle Township, shouted loudly: "Start the pump!"

The water pump was heard in the Pengjiazhara irrigation station. After the water in the water canal entered the irrigation station, it turned into a strong water flow into the main irrigation channel on the shore.

Since July, there have been high temperatures and less precipitation in the south. The rainfall of Yongxiu County is about 60 % less than the same period of the year. Most of the regions have moderate drought above the meteorological drought, and the local orange warning signals are issued locally.

The triangle town next to Xiuhe is a grain -producing hometown in Yongxiu County. Many places irrigated water need to be irrigated in order to enter the field. Due to the decline in the water level of Xiuhe, the Pengjiazha raising station in the two large -scale first -level irrigation stations in the township, the water outlet was 30 to 40 meters away from the water surface.

On the afternoon of the 15th, Xu Yunping received a notice: the upstream reservoir will release water. He immediately took someone to the scene near the Pengjiazha Titani Station, and found that even if the water was put, the river water could not reach the water. After studying, they made a decision to dig a new water canal immediately.

However, at a high temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius, the driver of the excavator's cab can not work at all.

The sky is getting dark, and the temperature drops slightly. At around 7 pm, the two excavators turned on the headlights and slowly drove into the river. One drove to the middle of the river, and the other opened to the irrigation station, and began to dig at the same time.

10 meters, 50 meters, 90 meters ... In the dark night, the two excavators kept waving the "big arm" and excavated from the two directions.

At about 5 am on the 16th, a water pickup canal about 200 meters long, 4 meters wide, and about 2 meters deep appeared in the river channel.

In less than an hour, the water in the upstream reservoir came, and the water canal entered the irrigation station.

"This irrigation station can pick up 10,000 cubic meters per hour." Tu Yunzhu, secretary of the Party Committee of the Triangle Township, said that after the Pengjiazhara irrigation station is running, the amount of water entering the main irrigation canal every hour is doubled than before, which can ensure 50,000 in the irrigation district. Irrigation water for more acres of farmland.

Follow the main irrigation canal to a second -level irrigation station, not far away, the irrigation station under the tree.

Watching the river water flowing into the rice fields, Xu Qigao, the head of Yongxiu and the professional breeding cooperative of Jiaheyuan, who planted more than 500 acres of rice this year, told reporters that although it has encountered drought, there have been water in the farmland recently. It will be affected.

According to the forecast, high temperature and rainy weather will continue in the next few days. Yuan Yangyong, the deputy head of Yongxiu County, said that they will work hard to ensure that there are no large -scale drought in large areas through measures such as water lifting irrigation, plane wells, and artificial rainfall.
