Wei Shanzhong, deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, interviewed by the People's Daily Online 丨 Accelerate the construction of water conservancy infrastructure to stabilize the economic market contribution

Water is the foundation of survival and the source of civilization, and is an important support and basic guarantee for economic and social development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to water conservancy work, making a series of major decision -making deployments, and clearly proposed the water management ideas of "water -saving priority, space equilibrium, system governance, and two -handed force". Provide scientific guidelines and fundamental follow.

In April of this year, the 11th meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee made an important arrangement for strengthening the construction of network infrastructure such as water conservancy. In May, the State Council issued the "Policies and Measures for Stable Economic Praise", which will "accelerate a batch of mature water conservancy projects" as an important measure for stable investment.

What is the important role of water conservancy in stable macroeconomic markets? Under the general tone of "steady characters and steady progress", how will the Ministry of Water Conservancy help the economy of high -quality economy? In response, Wei Shanzhong, deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the People's Daily Online.

Reporter: Recently, the State Council issued the "Policies and Measures for the Economic Package" and proposed to accelerate a group of mature water conservancy projects. In a new round of stable economic measures, why put water conservancy projects in a more important position? Since this year, what is the progress of the Ministry of Water Resources in promoting the construction of major water conservancy projects?

Wei Shanzhong: The Ministry of Water Conservancy has resolutely implemented the decision -making and deployment of the Central Committee and the State Council, and established a leading group with comprehensively strengthening water conservancy infrastructure construction with Minister Li Guoying as the leader. Mechanisms, list management, linkage up and down, linked chart operations.

On the one hand, make every effort to accelerate the progress of major projects under construction and promote the efficiency of projects as soon as possible. For example, the completion and acceptance of the water drainage project of Hainan Nanku River, Qinghai Storage Gorge, Hunan Mao Jun, Yunnan Che Ma Bi and other water conservancy hubs storage water. The water tunnel tunnel is fully connected; the water tunnel of the water diversion project in the central Yunnan Yunnan has been excavated for 438 kilometers, half a year earlier than the planned construction period; the Tibet Xianghe Water Conservancy Project strives to achieve water storage in June.

On the other hand, vigorously promote the construction of a number of major projects, and promote the project early and more. The Ministry of Water Conservancy guides the preliminary working hours of the project to refine the project, clarify the division of responsibilities and work measures, build a clear -and -clear project promotion matrix, and report the preliminary work progress every week to accurately advance. At the same time, with the strong support of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the departmental meeting mechanism for the promotion of major water conservancy projects has been established to timely track the progress of the previous requirements for the project before the project, and analyze and solve the difficult problems in advance.

After hard work, 14 major projects have been started this year, with an investment scale of 86.9 billion yuan. A number of major projects will be started recently. In the next step, the Ministry of Water Conservancy will further strengthen organizational promotion and take more powerful measures to ensure the completion of the annual goals and tasks of the year in the year in order to ensure the monthly annual target tasks.

Reporter: Under the general tone of "steady characters and steadily seeking progress", what important role will the water conservancy play in a stable macroeconomic market in a stable macroeconomic market?

Wei Shanzhong: Water conservancy is an important area for stabilizing the macroeconomic market. The water conservancy project has a multi -faceted and wide amount, and has a good planning and early work foundation, especially the major water conservancy projects to attract large investment, long industrial chain, and many opportunities for employment. Demand and promotion of economic stability have played an important role. In terms of stimulating economic growth, according to the research results of relevant institutions, every investment of major water conservancy projects can drive GDP to increase by 0.15 percentage points for each investment of 100 billion yuan. From January to May of this year, the country has completed 310.8 billion yuan in water conservancy construction, an increase of 109 billion yuan, an increase of 54%over the same period last year; 10,644 water conservancy projects were newly started, of which 609 of the investment scale exceeded 100 million yuan. It is expected that this year can complete the investment of more than 800 billion yuan in water conservancy construction, which will play an important role in doing a good job of "six stability" and "six guarantees" and stabilizing the macroeconomic market. In terms of employment, water conservancy projects, especially major water conservancy projects, have more employment, and can provide more employment positions. For example, the Guangxi Dato Gorge Water Conservancy Hub, which is under construction, has more than 6,200 people at its peak; the Jiangsu section of the Wusongjiang Remediation Project, which has started the newly started this year, has a maximum of more than 3,000 daily employment. From January to May of this year, the construction of water conservancy projects absorbed about 1.03 million employment, including 770,000 migrant workers.

Reporter: Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture. Large and medium -sized irrigation areas have become the main position of national food and important agricultural products. This year, what measures will the Ministry of Water Conservancy take the construction and management of the irrigation zone to ensure the safety of national food?

Wei Shanzhong: Grain production is basically in cultivated land, and life pulses are in water conservancy. At present, the national arable land irrigation area is 10.37 billion acres, accounting for 54%of the arable land area, producing more than 75%of grain and more than 90%of economic crops, especially 7330 large and medium -sized irrigations. The effective irrigation area is 520 million mu. The main production areas of food and important agricultural products are important guarantees for national food safety.

This year, the Ministry of Water Resources mainly adopted the following measures in strengthening the construction and management of irrigation districts. The first is to strengthen the continuous construction and transformation of existing large and medium -sized irrigation areas. This year, it plans to implement the modernization of 493 large and medium -sized irrigation areas, improve the irrigation water source engineering, canal engineering, and measurement monitoring facilities, promote standardized and standardized management, and increase the recovery and improve the irrigation area of ​​more than 2,500 acres. At the same time, do a good job of connecting the construction of the irrigation area and the construction of high -standard farmland to create a number of modern digital irrigation districts. The second is to actively build a new modern irrigation area. Accelerate the construction progress of the construction of Xiaolang, Sichuan Pavilion, Hubei Lishui, etc., and promote the construction of the project as soon as possible. In areas with appropriate water and soil resources and large potential of new reserves irrigation land, it is planned to build a number of large -scale irrigation areas. This year, 6 newly -built large -scale irrigation areas are promoted. At present, Jiangxi Dasao Irrigation District and Guangxi Datoxia Irrigation District have started. Examination and approval process. The third is to strengthen the management of water tone in the irrigation area. Take large and medium -sized irrigation districts as units, establish spring irrigation accounts, deeply dig the water conservancy project water supply potential, optimize water supply scheduling in the irrigation zone, reasonably deploy water resources, so as to use scientific water, plan water, save water, and effectively guarantee the spring irrigation agricultural water this year. As of the end of May, the cumulative irrigation area of ​​spring irrigation districts in large and medium -sized irrigation districts across the country and 44.9 billion cubic meters of water supply have been fully completed this year's spring irrigation task, which provides water conservancy support for the harvest of food production, especially summer grain this year. Reporter: "Governing the country must be governed first", and water governance has special significance for national governance since ancient times. This year, the state once again mentioned water conservancy to an important position. Compared with previous years, what do you think is the new breakthrough point and focus point of water treatment?

Wei Shanzhong: In April of this year, the 11th meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee clearly stated that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of network -oriented infrastructure such as transportation, energy, and water conservancy, and take connected, supplementary networks, and strong chains as the focus of construction to improve network benefits. The state has repeatedly made arrangements to accelerate the construction of water conservancy projects and expand effective investment. The State Council's "A solid and Stable Economic Police Policy Measures" will "accelerate a group of mature water conservancy projects" as an important measure for stable investment. This year, in terms of the construction of water conservancy infrastructure, the focus is on to accelerate the progress of construction, strive to expand water conservancy investment, complete the amount of physical project as much as possible, and give full play to the important role of water conservancy investment in stable growth. At present, the construction of water conservancy infrastructure has been accelerated and has achieved new results. In improving the flood prevention engineering system. Flood prevention projects such as the northwest of the Wusongjiang River Remediation and the starting area of ​​the Xiong'an New District. Recently, the backbone project of the Huaihe River entering the second phase of the sea water channel, the flood control treatment of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the rectification of the Wuhu River section of the Yangtze River will be started. In addition, accelerate the reinforcement of dangers and small and medium -sized rivers. In the implementation of major projects of the National Water Network. The Anhui Yinjiang Jihuai Project is expected to be tried to pass the water at the end of September this year, and the southwestern Fujian water resources allocation project will be started. The backbone engineering of the net. In terms of recovering the ecological environment of the river and lake. Implement the Mother River's recovery operation, start the water ecological restoration and governance project of the lower reaches of Mulan Creek in Fujian, continue to promote comprehensive governance of groundwater overcurers such as North China, comprehensive governance of Yongding River, and ecological restoration, and actively promote the comprehensive management of soil and soil loss. Organize the implementation of the ecological environment of the river and lake in North China.

Reporter: Water resources are the basic elements of economic and social development. In the next step, how will the Ministry of Water Resources consolidate water support and help the economy development?

Wei Shanzhong: Water resources are the basic, first -guided, and controllable elements of economic and social development. The loading space of water determines the development space of the economy and society. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leadership of the Communist Party of China has carried out large -scale water conservancy projects, forming the world's largest water conservancy infrastructure system with the largest number of, largest scale, and the widest benefit population, and provided strong support and guarantee for economic and social development. However, in accordance with the requirements of high -quality development, water conservancy still has outstanding issues such as insufficient flood prevention engineering system, insufficient water resources coordination and allocation capabilities, heavy water ecological water environmental governance tasks, and low levels of water conservancy infrastructure.

In the next step, the Ministry of Water Conservancy will resolutely implement the decision -making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, with the goal of comprehensively improving the ability of water safety guarantee, focusing on improving the water resources optimization allocation system, flood prevention and reduction system, water ecological protection and governance system, and accelerate the construction of the country Water networks, promote the high -quality development of water conservancy in the new stage, comprehensively enhance the ability to make overall water resources, water supply guarantee capabilities, water -drought disaster defense capabilities, and provide strong water safety guarantee for the construction of socialist modern countries. The first is to build the "outline" of the national water network. Focusing on the development strategy of major national regional regions, based on the dry flow of the river and the river and the important rivers and lakes, the South Water Diversion Project on the South, Central and Western Lines, scientifically promoted a number of cross -market and cross -regional major drainage and drainage project planning and construction, and promoted the Dajiang River dry flow. The construction of the embankment and the control of the key river section, the construction of the bidding for key river sections, the construction of important rivers and rivers green ecological corridors, and accelerating the construction of the main skeleton and the artery of the national water network. The second is the "eye" of the Weaving National Water Network. Strengthen the interconnection of national major water resources allocation projects and regional important water resource allocation projects, promote the construction of the main tributary and comprehensive governance of small and medium -sized rivers, the connection project of the regional river and lake system, and the construction of drainage and drainage channels to form a province and county that is integrated in urban and rural areas. The water network system improves the quality of the ecological environment of rivers and lakes, and improves the ability of water resources to allocate and protects the capacity of water and drought disasters. The third is the "knot" of the national water network. Accelerate the promotion of controlling the storage project and key water source projects in accordance with the development strategy of the national regional development strategy, accelerate the construction of important flood storage areas, fully explore the storage capacity of existing projects, comprehensively consider flood control, water supply, irrigation, irrigation, irrigation , Shipping, power generation, ecology and other functions, strengthen the joint scheduling of water engineering in the basin, improve the ability to regulate water resources, and give full play to the comprehensive engineering function and efficiency of engineering.
