Introduction
Water shortage, hope for water, dream of water, generations of people are suffering and eager to...
Water control, water control, water rejuvenation, and generations of people are exploring and innovating on the way to water control ...
A history of water conservancy is a history of the people fighting with wisdom and courage. And the water history of Wuwei is always filled with a person's name - Liu Erneng.
The original intention that shines forever
Zhang Shangmei Zhang Xingfang
"The water of the valley flows, flows to the wild head." The Shiyang River, known as "the water of the valley" by the ancients, once nourished nearly 2 million children in the land of Wuwei. Due to climate change and human activities, in the 1950s, the desertification of the Shiyang River Basin was severe and the ecological environment continued to deteriorate.
"Water is an oasis, and no water is a desert." After the founding of New China, Wuwei opened the curtain for the construction of water conservancy. Liu Erneng led the Wuwei children to manage, manage and promote water, and engraved the original aspiration and mission of a Communist Party member in the land of Wuwei. He used practical actions to set a vivid example for future generations to stick to their original aspirations, serve the people all their lives, and maintain their true colors.
There is no Liu Er
It was originally a season when "the wheat seedlings grow, the mulberry leaves are fat", but it was helpless "There is no rain, drought and wind in March, and the wheat seedlings are not beautiful and yellow and will die of yellow."
It has been half a year. God has not given any rain. The continuous exposure to the sun makes the wheat seedlings wilted in the ground, the leaves are rolled and yellow, the drought is so smoked in the ground, and the big and deep holes are cracked. Liu Er, who was the Minister of Agriculture and Industry of Gulang County Party Committee at the time, stood on the ridge and smashed his chest and couldn't say a word.
"Eat relief grain and wear yellow clothes." Due to the lack of water, the lives of the people in Gulang County are extremely miserable.
How can the people fill their stomachs? Faced with the current situation of "three shortages" of lack of funds, talents and technology, he secretly vowed in his heart: There are always more ways than difficulties, and I, Liu Er, can "can" it!
What follows this sentence is his responsibility as a mountain of responsibility throughout his life.
A pool of blue waves, full of mountains and rivers. Caojiahu Reservoir, located in Gulang County, is the first reservoir built by Gulang . Since its construction, it has irrigated 35,000 acres of farmland.
On April 25, 1958, a cannon fire opened the prelude to the construction of Caojia Lake Reservoir. The Caojiahu Reservoir Project General Command was established in the county. Liu Erneng served as the project commander-in-chief and led more than 7,000 builders to start a reservoir construction battle with extremely simple tools such as iron shovels, wooden wheel flat carts, sheep horn anvils, nail-tooth rakes, , etc.
Red flag show during the day and bright lights at night. Potatoes are used as staple food, and work is not stopped when the wind and snow are windy and snowy. As long as Liu Er can be, the party’s appeal, cohesion and combat effectiveness will be fully reflected. The end of the project is the cold winter month, with ice and snow everywhere. In order to accept the project, Liu Er could ask technicians to release water for experiments. He was the first to jump into the water and stood in the biting cold water. His whole body was frozen purple and purple, and his hands and feet were unconscious. When other leading cadres saw the commander-in-chief go into the water, they followed suit. When migrant workers saw the leading cadres leading by example, they were all excited.
Fight against God and race against time; overcome difficulties with confidence and overcome difficulties with wisdom. In just one year, a reservoir with 8.22 million cubic meters of water was located in the depths of the mountains.
The water conservancy work during this period was to fully restore the old irrigation channel , while closely combining drought resistance production, carrying forward the spirit of self-reliance, and establish some small farmland water conservancy projects according to local conditions. On the basis of abolishing the feudal water rules and regulations, new management institutions, irrigation systems and rules and regulations are established to adapt to the restoration and development of rural social economy.
In 1950, the construction of the Gufeng Canal of Liutiaohe, Gulang County was successively carried out; the Huangyang River Irrigation Engineering Office was established, and the east and west sluice gates and sand drainage gates were built, as well as the east and west main canals and supporting buildings of the river overflow dam were built.
1951, Hexi encountered a severe drought. The provincial party committee and government issued a call for drought prevention and drought resistance. The Water Resources Bureau of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Forestry sent a drought relief working group stationed in Wuwei District. The people of the whole district combined drought resistance production to carry out drought reconstruction of old canals and soil canals to achieve a new situation of rational water use and united water use.Since then, the channels of the rivers such as Gulang River, , Zamu River, Jinta River, Dongda River, etc. have been combined and damed, cut bends and straightened, shortened the water transmission channel line, and reduced water transmission losses, so that the irrigation area can be gradually restored.
1956, Minqin County started the construction of the first depression reservoir in the district - Ximahu Reservoir. After two years, it was completed in the second half of 1957 to store water, and irrigate the fields in winter and spring in summer, adjust water, and alleviate the water shortage and drought in the lower reaches of Shiyang River.
In September 1957, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the decision on the "Funded Construction of Farmland Water Conservancy Movement on Large-scale Construction in the Spring of 1958 in the Winter of 1957", and proposed the water conservancy construction policy of "building large-scale projects based on small sizes, supplemented by medium sizes, and building large-scale projects under necessary and possible conditions". In October, the province, vocational and county successively made arrangements and deployments to implement the central decision and vigorously carry out the construction of the farmland water conservancy movement. Through mobilization meetings and oath-taking meetings, Wuwei set off a climax of the "Great Leap Forward" in water conservancy construction.
This year, under the slogan of "Ten Thousand Waters Return to the Reservoir", reservoir channels bloomed everywhere, and dike power stations were scattered. The reservoirs that started construction that year included Caojia Lake, Jinta River, Hongyashan , Jinchuan Gorge and a number of small reservoirs. The mass movement of "the whole people to carry out water conservancy" spread throughout the region...
is both a commander and a staff member; both a propagandist and a combatant. Liu Erneng, who moved from Gulang to Wuwei, was responsible for the construction and maintenance of reservoirs such as Caojia Lake, Dajingxia, Xiying, Nanying, Huangyang, Xidahe , built nearly 10,000 kilometers of dry, branch, Dou and agricultural channels, built 11 hydropower stations, and surveyed and planned the water area of Wuwei area of one-5,000.
These water conservancy projects are all over Liu Erneng's footprints, and the construction quality can stand the test of history. There has not been a major flood disaster so far. In particular, he urged the seven step hydropower stations built along the Nanying main channel, which are still in good condition.
"Water conservancy projects are a century-old plan, and they cannot tolerate any carelessness." "That is a thousand words, quality is the first priority" "The responsibility for project quality is more important than Mount Tai. To put it bluntly, this matter is large. Unless he is tired of living, he will cut corners and neglect his duties."... As for water conservancy projects, the most he talks about is quality. No brick can be thrown away, every table is read in person, and every professional term is clear. This is the "death rule" he set for himself and the command members.
"One winter night in 1977, the people who built Maoqu were busy for a day and just returned home, they heard the loudspeaker in the village suddenly ringing." Chang Xing, who was the captain of the seventh production team of Shiguan Brigade of Nanying Commune in Wuwei, recalled that in the loudspeaker, the voice of the brigade secretary was particularly urgent, and he notified everyone to have a meeting at the commune. When they arrived at the commune, Chang Xing found that Liu Er could sit in the conference room with a dark face. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. The air solidified in an instant, and everyone stood tremblingly, waiting for Liu Er to speak.
"Comrades, why are we building reservoirs and building channels? Isn't it just for us to use water for generations, grow crops, and let future generations eat enough? This year, it will be destroyed next year. Wouldn't your hardship be in vain?" He continued: "Today I passed by the second sluice gate building. A stone slab laid next to the canal is gone. Who stolen it? This stone slab must be found within three days. This is not a problem of a stone slab, but a problem of the awakening of the people. It is a century-old plan for the quality and safety of water conservancy projects. If the stone slab is lost today, the house of the sluice gate may be demolished tomorrow."
The next day, the stone was found, and the farmers who stole the stone were punished to manage the canal. After this incident, everyone cared for water conservancy facilities as much as they cared for their eyes. For decades, there has been no incident of destruction of water conservancy facilities in the Nanying Canal.
htmlOver 0 years of practice have enabled Liu Er to become an excellent water conservancy engineering commander. As long as he goes on the battlefield, he will not be able to complete the task.On September 23, 1958, Vice Premier and Secretary-General of the State Council Xi Zhongxun visited the construction site and had a long talk with Liu Erneng.When I learned about the command center's move to change the horns of people to ox pulling, saying that if you put the ox on it and liberate people, the Communist Party's leaders should not only work hard and hard, but also do it smart and cleverly. He also said: "Comrade Liu Erneng is our local expert." After hearing about this, the people made up a rumor -
Set of cows to liberate people, and all water conservancy projects are clear.
No one can deceive Liu Erneng when he works hard and cleverly.
The fundamental reason for controlling poverty is to control water
Back then, people said, "The six old men control desertification, and Liu Er can control water."
"The one carrying a box on his back and a pole on his shoulders. From a distance, it looks like a beggar, but from close range it is measured." Every time he comes back from a business trip, Liu Erneng does not go home to check it out at the first time, but to rush to the construction site.
For decades, the state has become a habit, and the habit has never changed. Yu Gong, this habit has become a dedication! For personal gain, this habit becomes guilt!
Once when I went home, Liu Er could see that in addition to noodles and steamed buns, there was also an extra plate of fried pork with shredded potatoes on the table. He was unhappy and taught his wife to be thrifty and not to waste extravagance. My wife's lips were trembling, tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. The eldest daughter Liu Guilan saw her mother being wronged and ran over to block her mother behind and angrily said, "Today is my sister's birthday, have you forgotten?"
Weekends, birthdays, festivals... He often forgets such days.
Liu Guilan recalled: "We rarely meet my father, sometimes half a month, sometimes half a year."
In 1962, according to the policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement" proposed by the Party Central Committee, the focus of water conservancy work in the whole district was shifted to restoring and renovating damaged water conservancy projects. At the same time, anti-seepage reconstruction of channels is carried out in a planned manner. In 1963, Liu Erneng led the masses to start high-standard lining of the second main channel of Xiying River and the second ba flood diversion canal of Dongdahe, and successively rebuilt the head projects of Gulang River and Xiying River canals. At the same time, Liu Erneng cooperated with the specialized and county water conservancy bureau to conduct farmland basic construction supporting experiments, and summarized the management methods and systems of "four reforms and one construction". In 1965, Yongchang Irrigation District piloted the construction plan of 100,000 mu of model demonstration fields. The special area established a "four good" farmland construction planning team, which kicked off the district's basic construction of farmland with the focus on field canal system supporting facilities, and put the basic construction of farmland into the track of water conservancy construction.
1970, the "Beijing Agricultural" conference proposed to work hard to carry out basic farmland construction, and to build farmland that ensures harvest and stable yields and high yields through soil improvement and water conservancy construction. The spirit of the "Beijing Agricultural" conference is in line with the public's opinion and in accordance with the will of the people, which greatly mobilized the people's enthusiasm for farmland water conservancy construction, and a new situation has emerged in the water conservancy construction cause.
In the construction of water storage projects, Liu Erneng organized and completed the hazard removal and reinforcement projects of Jinchuan Gorge, Huangyang River, Dajing Gorge, Caojia Lake, and Shibalibao Reservoirs, and completed the construction and reinforcement projects of Nanying Reservoirs, Xiying Reservoirs, and the construction and reinforcement projects of a number of small reservoirs. In the construction of channel engineering, we will focus on the reconstruction of dry and branch canals with high-standard lining, and focus on basic farmland construction.
In addition, the construction of water conservancy in pastoral areas and drinking water projects in rural areas and the construction of water conversion projects has effectively improved the drinking water conditions of people and animals.
On May 23, 1957, Liu Erneng, then Minister of Agriculture and Industry of Gulang County Party Committee, went to Beijing to attend the National Water Conservancy Work Conference, and was cordially received by the leaders of the Party and state such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yun.
In 1974, Wuwei County was rated as a national model county for channel construction. In 1977, Liu Erneng attended the National Conference of Advanced Water Conservancy Representatives as an advanced representative of Gansu Province's water conservancy. " People's Daily " reported his deeds in the construction of water conservancy. Song Ping, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, wrote an inscription for him, "Liu Er can control the water."
His brave and pragmatic and innovative water control story is also well-known and is praised by everyone -
The masses say this -
Liu Erneng, that is, he can.
fields are built flat and spread out, and the ridges are aligned with one line.
The more you go, the more you like, it depends entirely on a leading official.
Dare to teach the sun and moon to change the new sky
It's early in the morning, the lights in the study are still on, my wife heats the food repeatedly... The canal here needs to be repaired, the land there needs to be watered, the reservoir needs to be reinforced, and the poplar trees need to be planted next to the canal. All of these are in Liu Erneng's heart.
The worry is because of the deep love; the deep love is because of the deep hope.
The post office operator said that a phone call came in at 6 o'clock every morning, and you don't have to look at the number, you know that it was called to County Mayor Liu. On the other end of the phone, Liu Er could sit in front of the phone on time, waiting for the submission of the four major river systems summary tables and water flow analysis tables.
1975, Liu Erneng led the cadres and the masses to dig wells, build canals, and build cement bridges... One day, at the construction site of Zamu Second Main Channel, a middle-aged woman came over with a steamed bun in her mouth. Seeing this, Liu Erneng stopped and asked, "What are you running?" The woman replied, "It's not okay if you don't run. I heard that a bull can be or a pig can be. I will take us to practice the second work, and it won't work if we run slowly." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. The woman never dreamed that the person wearing yellow autumn shoes and a dusty face was Liu Erneng.
"Look for my father and go to the construction site." "Look for County Mayor Liu and go to the reservoir!"... 80% of the time a year, he either holds meetings and conducts on the spot, without holidays or commutes.
When the reservoir was removed and strengthened, Liu Erneng fainted on the ground due to a serious cold. After waking up, he held the infusion bottle with one hand and pinched the steel bar with the other, and then ran to the construction site... Liu Erneng's daughter recalled that when she came back that day, her father's trousers were covered with mud, and his feet stretched out from the yellow canvas sneakers were swollen, and his toes were all ulcerated. eczema was everywhere on his face and head.
Liu Erneng said: "There are so many contradictions. After all, it is poverty. The fundamental way to solve poverty is to control water." It is difficult to dig wells in the desert. Most of the journey can only ride a camel or walk. He led the working group to bring dry food, carry kerosene furnace , and supervise the workforce in the desert. He stayed for several years.
From the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, the country determined the construction policy of "protecting water sources in the south, controlling wind and sand in the north, and building an oasis in the middle", which pointed out the direction for ecological construction. Liu Erneng led water conservancy departments at all levels in the district to understand the dialectical relationship between construction speed and project quality, subjective desire and objective reality from practice, conscientiously implement the water conservancy policy of "strengthening business management and paying attention to economic benefits", and comprehensively deploy and implement drinking water for humans and animals, supporting facilities for field channels, renovation of old wells, channel lining reconstruction, small hydropower construction, tree planting and afforestation, and achieved remarkable results.
——In those years, he led technicians to hike on foot to "measure" Wuwei's mountains, rivers, ditches, and lanes, asking the people about their feelings and drawing a book of people's sentiments and public opinion.
——In those years, he led water conservancy workers to measure and design, dig trenches and build stations and dams, and asked about the skills of water, and wrote a song of love for water and fate for water.
——In those years, he led the people to fill pits and drain alkalis, flatten fields and cultivate trees and afforestation, asking questions about the sky, and drawing a picture of hope and a tomorrow.
The more loess there is on your feet, the more feelings you have in your heart.
He dares to change the sun and the moon to a new world to do things. He takes care of everyone's noble character and integrity in sacrificing the small family. His broad feelings of worrying about the world before and after the world's happiness are moved. Qian Honggen, former director of the Wuwei County Water and Power Bureau, said that Liu Er could truly apply the spirit of nailing down the nails to his specific work and was an excellent Communist Party member.
Similarly, a generation of water conservancy workers represented by Liu Erneng, their water management technology and wisdom have also been praised by the masses -
Liu Erneng, where can they be?
The wheat seedlings are thick and sheep are growing, increasing production and income for people's livelihood.
Farmers are no longer hungry, and the credit is due to Liu Erneng.
The original intention is to lead the masses to live a good life
The hot waves in the countryside are rolling in June, and the wheat is golden and apricots are fat.
The breeze blows by, the wheat ears shake gently, the fragrance drifts away, and the old farmers in the fields are drunk. When Liu Erneng passed by the countryside, he saw that the wheat was growing loose and thick, and was in a good mood, so he asked the driver to park his car on the side of the road and stepped straight onto the ridge of the field.
The old farmer bent down and picked a wheat ear, rubbed it between his hands, and the wheat turtles slowly fell, leaving more than a dozen green or yellow wheat grains. Pinch one and squeeze it gently, and the white starch mixed with dewdrops poured out. The old farmer smiled and brought the sweet milk to Liu Erneng's mouth: "My fellow villager, try it, taste it quickly, sweetness! This year's harvest is another good, and you must not forget County Magistrate Liu after a good harvest."
What can best witness Liu Erneng's life is not honor, but the wealth left for the people.
He proposed "planting vegetables in flat fields". After a winter of hard work, the Great Wall Commune alone added nearly 10,000 acres of arable land.
He proposed the "four supporting facilities" of the canal road and forest fields, and built more than 3,000 kilometers of canals in , Liangzhou District, .
He proposed water-saving agriculture, and the water utilization rate increased from 30% to 80%, reversing the passive situation of Wuwei relying on state food relief. Hexi region once created a miracle of producing 95% of Gansu's commercial grain, while Wuwei region only relied on 1.7 billion cubic meters of water resources to produce more than 70% of the commercial grain.
Liu Er can say that only when the canal is repaired, the water is cured, and the forest is built, can we leave a martial power with blue sky and clear water for future generations.
Decades have passed, and this sentence seems to ring in my ears again: "Mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands are a community of life. The lifeblood of human beings is in the fields, the lifeblood of the fields is in the water, the lifeblood of the water is in the mountains, the lifeblood of the mountains is in the soil, and the lifeblood of the soil is in the trees."
In the late 1990s, the country implemented the Western Development Strategy , forming a "country, collective, and individual" together to green the situation. Implement the concept of " green waters and green mountains are gold and silver mountains ", optimize the layout of "protecting water sources in the south, protecting oasis in the middle, and controlling wind and sand in the north", and enter a new era of ecological civilization construction. Wuwei City Party committees and governments at all levels attach great importance to ecological construction, carry forward and inherit the spirit of "Liu Er can control water", focus on sustainable development and vigorous protection of forest resources, highlight the construction of water source conservation forests in the southern mountainous areas and windproof and sand fixing forests in the northern sand areas, and further consolidate and improve the farmland shelter forest system in the Sichuan area, and remarkable achievements have been made in the construction of the entire shelter forest system.
Decades have passed, channels, reservoirs, forest belts, and farmland. This barren land has finally ushered in a bumper harvest, a beautiful mountain and a beautiful river, and a peaceful and prosperous life.
The common people have eaten their fill, but their lives at home have not changed. The youngest daughter Liu Xiaolan said that although there was a father who was a county magistrate, their childhood was with corn flour and steamed buns...
Hard work, simple, honest and dedicated, fair and upright, open and honest... He weighed a thousand pounds in the hearts of the people. Liu Erneng successively served as deputy county magistrate of Gulang County, county magistrate and county party secretary, member of the Wuwei Prefectural Committee, deputy commissioner of the regional administration and other positions. His former colleague Wang Zhengming said that when he was elected as a county magistrate, his fellow villagers proposed: "If you don't choose Liu Erneng, you will choose 'Liu Gaga' (a mentally ill patient in Wuwei City)."
Yes! The person wearing an old cotton jacket, carrying a medicine bag, and leaning on dry tree strips, running around the countryside day and night would not choose who else?
Because of his extremely simple lifestyle of staying on the construction site for a long time, he has overloaded operations year after year, and overwork has become a disease. Liu Er can get rid of gastrectomy and his health is getting worse and worse, but he has not stopped working for a day, wherever he goes, wherever he goes.
In August 1970, Liu Erneng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was appointed as the director and secretary of Xidahe Reservoir in Yongchang County, and for the second time, the construction of another reservoir was carried out.
In the morning, the white water soaked buns, the dried cabbage and food at noon, and the pickled cabbage noodles in the afternoon. From 1973 to 1980, Huangyanghe Reservoir had three major repairs. Liu Ernest set up his office on the construction site and set up his home by the dam. He slept in the wind and ate in the open, lived in the sky and worked with workers, and solved construction problems with engineering and technical personnel, ensuring the construction progress, construction period and project quality. After seven years of hard work and perseverance, the Huangyang River Reservoir has completely eliminated hidden dangers and has been upgraded from the 200-year flood verification at the beginning of construction to a once-in-a-thousand-year standard. During
, he often traveled to several other construction sites.
As long as the body can move, it will be resolute...
In the early winter of 1994, Liu Erneng went to the hospital for examination with a blurred vision and found a calcification point the size of a palm on his head. Only then did he realize that it was the sequelae left by a stone when he was repairing the overflow cave.
"Our family's meal is often eaten by peasants, and we can only go hungry." Recalling his father, the second daughter Liu Meilan complained a little: "The honesty and self-disciplined are so harsh that the rural villagers know that our family has many children. Sometimes they secretly send a chicken, or a few kilograms of clean oil, flour, and a piece of meat. After the father knew about it, he immediately notified the county government office Wang Jicai or Director Kou Yongzhuo to send someone to the county government canteen. Those who can return the goods to the original owner will be told to take them away. If they really don't know the gift giver, they will return to the county government canteen. My father often warns us. :'Dogs, you must never take things from the common people. After eating sawdust, you have to spit out the pine rafters (the accumulation of small amounts will cost you a one-time price)! '"
Liu Erneng also feels sorry for his family and often comforts his wife: "I am a husband, a father, and a Communist Party member. My mission is to serve the common people."
owes a surgery on his body, a reunion of his parents, a farewell to his wife, and a future for his children... On January 1, 2001, Liu Erneng closed his eyes forever and ended his life of struggle.
He left, wearing a pair of rubber shoes, looked reluctantly at the unrepaired reservoir drawings, walked towards the Tengger desert, towards the forest field canal, and towards the land where he had dedicated half his life...
The sound of sorrow and music, and the plants and trees were lingering. In the coffin, he pillowed with a three-inch thick book "Quotes from Chairman Mao" with a scroll of pages. Next to the coffin was more than 1,000 people who were buried.
When the people saw the neat canals, dense forest belts, and full warehouses of grain, they couldn't help but say-
Liu Erneng, how capable is it?
The water source in the south is green, and the desert is protected from the north is forested.
Zhongbao Oasis songs fly, and their contributions are in contemporary Liu Erneng.
Liu Er can leave, his spirit will last forever. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the children of Wuwei have continued to have his spirit of selfless dedication, meticulousness, hard work, and practiced the Wuwei spirit of the new era of "not bowing their heads in the face of difficulties and dared to turn the desert into an oasis", and have not forgotten their original aspirations and mission in mind, creating a new era of water conservancy construction.
fully promotes the construction of a water-saving society. Wuwei City was named "National Water-saving Society Construction Demonstration Zone" by the Ministry of Water Resources. The "Wuwei City Water Conservation and Use Regulations" was promulgated and implemented; accelerate the construction of key water conservancy projects, and complete the extension project of Jingdian Phase II to Minqin Water Diversion Canal, the water conservancy backbone project of Gulang County Ecological Immigration and Poverty Alleviation Development Huanghuatan Project, the Huanghuatan Water Diversion Project, the Nanyang Mountain Slice Down the Mountain and Entering Sichuan Ecological Immigration and Well-off Water Supply Project, the Hongyashan Reservoir Elevation and Expansion Project, the Shimen River Water Diversion Project, etc. 22 reservoirs have been built in the city, a total of 74 Tangbas have been built, the water-saving irrigation area has reached 184.1 thousand hectares, and the number of farmers' water use cooperation organizations has reached 864. Since 2010, the water flow rate in the Minqin Cai Banner section has been steadily achieved the binding target of key governance in the Shiyang River Basin for 12 consecutive years. The water area of Qingtu Lake, which has been dry for 51 years, has reached 26.7 square kilometers, and the wetlands in arid areas reach 106 square kilometers. The groundwater level has risen from 4.02 meters at the beginning of the treatment to 2.91 meters. The city's forest and grassland area reached 27.6414 million mu, accounting for 56.96% of the city's total land area; Shiyang River was successfully established as the only national demonstration river and lake in the province, and was selected as an excellent case of 18 beautiful rivers and lakes in the country, providing a precious model for river and lake management and protection of river and lake chief system in inland rivers and drought and water-scarce areas in the country. The city's centralized rural water supply rate reached 93%. In 2020, the city's agricultural added value ranked first in the province for seven consecutive years.
Wuwei today has a GDP of more than 50 billion yuan, water security guarantee capacity has been significantly improved, the ecological environment has been greatly improved, and the people's lives are getting better and better. It is moving forward rapidly towards creating a happy and beautiful new Wuwei with beautiful ecology, excellent industry, prosperous culture and rich people.
All this is enough to comfort the "Liu Erneng" who have devoted his life to the cause of Wuwei's water conservancy construction for decades!
