Essence

Since June this year, the rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin has been significantly less. At the same time, the continuous high temperature has led to an increase in evaporation and the continuous development of Hubei drought. As of August 16, the crops in Wuhan City had accumulated 188,700 acres due to droughts, and major grain areas such as Xinzhou District and Caidian District had different degrees of drought.

In order to resist drought and stabilize food, in the past few days, Wuhan Water Affairs, Agricultural and Rural and other departments organized drought -resistant service teams in depth to produce the front line, and measures such as reservoir water reservoir, gauge water diversion, pumping station water lifting, rivers and lakes, and lakes and reservoirs. Farmland "thirsty".

At noon, the sun was like fire. In Shanyu Bay, Daogang Village, Sandian Street, Xinzhou District, the two pump machines are constantly injecting the water in the Dao Guan Guan Hebei into the farmland.

"Finally looking forward to the water! Da Tian Jie's" thirst ", farmers solve their hearts." Huang Hongxiang, secretary of the Party branch of Daogang Village, said that Daogang Village has a higher terrain and is located at the end of the north. The high -temperature roasting of the rice fields was cracked for several days, and the villagers even went to the surrounding fish pond borrowing water to irrigate. After learning about the water conservancy department, it organized the garbage and silt accumulated in the manpower to clean up, and accelerated the scheduling of water use. Under the premise of ensuring irrigation water along the north dry canal, it was closed to ensure that water was used at the end of the dry canal.

Not far away, on the main tributary of the Yangtze River, a 213 -meter -long rubber dam was cut off. During the flood, flood discharge, water storage during drought, the dam body made from special materials has been increased from a minimum of 21 meters to 25.1 meters.

"Based on the amount of water from upstream, adjust the height of the dam body in a timely manner, which not only ensures the appropriate amount of water, but also increases the amount of upstream water and water level as much as possible, thereby ensuring that the pump stations in the upstream watershed can be lifted smoothly and meet the needs of agricultural irrigation." Yao Heping, chief engineer of the District Water and Lakes Bureau, said that after receiving drought warnings in the early stage, Xinzhou District seized the time of high water levels in the Yangtze River, dispatching water conservancy projects and various drought resistance facilities, and adopting measures such as storage, quotation, pumping, and raising.
