Xiangyang City Housing and Urban Construction Bureau: Drought and Guarantee Green as flowers and trees "quench thirst"

Hubei Daily Client News (All -Media Correspondent Zhao Yiran Correspondent Chen Xin) Starting last month, the temperature continued to rise, the heat waves came, and the sidewalk trees and greening on both sides of the road became the "protective umbrella" of pedestrians under the scorching sun.

At 8 pm on August 17th, the reporter came to Chunyuan West Road to see that a sprinkler was sprayed with the Lagerstroemia flowers in the green belt, and the nearby staff used the water pipe to pour other plants.

"This year should be the most drought year since I work. From May, except for a few raining days, we have to carry out drought -resistant work for more than 10 hours a day." The director Fang Jun said.

It is understood that the Ziwei flowers, red maples, iris, ginkgo, osmanthus and rose on Changhong Road, and the rose of the Yunwan nodes of Dengcheng Avenue are the targets of this year's focus. And for plants of different types and different characteristics, staff will also "quench thirst" in different ways.

A reporter from Changhong Road noticed that there were several small holes under the ginkgo trees on both sides of the road. "These are water injection holes." Fang Jun introduced that because of the poor drought resistance of ginkgo trees, if the water is poured on the surface of the tree, the water is easy to evaporate or flows along the surface. So the staff hit the holes under the tree and injected the water directly into the root of the tree, which could reduce evaporation and provide sufficient water for ginkgo trees. At the same time, when the ginkgo tree needs nutrition, the nutrient solution can also be injected into the root along the water injection hole.

According to Liu Haitao, deputy head of the greening and maintenance department of Xiangyang City Housing and Urban -Rural Development Bureau, the scope of urban greening management of the housing construction department is mainly sidelines, landscape belts on both sides of the main roads of Fancheng District and Xiangcheng District, as well as Deng Cheng Avenue, Diamond Avenue and Dongwai Ring ecology. Protection belt.

"The temperature is high during the day, the amount of evaporation is large, and the watering is easy to damage the root system and the leaf surface, so the drought resistance work is carried out before 6 pm to 10 am the next day." Liu Haitao said.

According to statistics, as of now, the green maintenance unit of Xiangyang Housing and Urban -Rural Development Bureau has dispatched more than 9,800 sprinkler vehicles and 11,000 personnel, pump pumping for more than 200 hours, a total of more than 220,000 tons of watering, and a circulating area of ​​27 million square meters.
