In the continuous drought, water becomes Hubei The most needed sweet spring in the affected areas. On August 23, a reporter from Jimu News learned from HU Water Resources Department that there are currently 4,939 reservoirs in the province participating in irrigation and drought resistance, and the water provided per day is about 92 million cubic meters, which is equivalent to the water storage capacity of 0.7 East Lakes.

plan ahead and is suitable for drought resistance. According to a relevant person in charge of the Provincial Water Resources Department, before the drought came, the water conservancy departments across the province were already actively prepared to respond actively.
Since the beginning of last year, the Provincial Department of Water Resources has begun to promote the completion acceptance of more than 3,000 reservoirs in the province, accept one, and invest one. This work was completed by the end of June this year. The significance of this work to fight drought is that only reservoirs that have passed the completion acceptance can enter a full storage state. The total recoverable storage capacity of these more than 3,000 reservoirs reaches 2.5 billion cubic meters. This also gave Hubei reservoirs more abundant capacity before the drought this year.
In addition to seizing the reservoir acceptance to increase the reservoir capacity, the Provincial Water Resources Department also takes advantage of the time difference during the flood season to accurately dispatch as much water storage as possible. Wangying Reservoir , located in Yangyang, Huangshi, will be tested once an hour. The province also predicts the water level and water storage capacity of the reservoirs every day based on weather forecasts, and accurately dispatches each reservoir to close the flood discharge gates to store water in a timely manner. By the end of April this year, the water storage capacity of each reservoir in the province had exceeded 23% of the normal year, which provided sufficient water for drought resistance this year.

0:00 on August 17, at 10:00, at the application of the Shijiahe Town Government of Tianmen City, the Wuling Reservoir in Jingshan City opened the No. 32 gate of spillway, and 10 cubic meters per second to Tianmen Qingshuidong Reservoir provides emergency water replenishment to local farmlands to relieve people's worries about drought resistance and drinking water for people.

Gong Jianchao, head of the Water and Drought Disaster Defense Section of Wuling Reservoir Management Bureau, introduced that this time the water transfer is an "unconventional" operation, and Qingshui Wan Reservoir is not here In the irrigation area of Wuling Reservoir, conventional water transfer channels cannot transport water here, and water replenishment of spillways involves flood prevention and safety along the way. After learning about the local drought resistance needs, the Wuling Reservoir Administration Bureau quickly reported to the Provincial Water Resources Department and the Wuling Reservoir Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, and conducted on-site surveys on the water storage along the flood river and Qingshui Lu Reservoir, and formulated an emergency water replenishment plan. From application to opening the gate, the entire process only takes 24 hours.
This time, Wuling Reservoir replenished 1.5 million cubic meters of water to Qingshuiwan Reservoir, solving the problem of waterless irrigation in nearly 15,000 mu of farmland in four villages including Xianfeng and Longling in Shijiahe Town, and also used water for the people's daily life Provides guarantees.
Increase water
Seize the opportunity of rainfall and store water
Relevant person in charge of the Reservoir Department of the Provincial Water Resources Department said that although it was tried to increase water storage in the early stage, the drought this year continues for a long time. At present, the total water storage capacity of reservoirs in the province is still lower than the same period in previous years. About 5%. In the complex drought, we need to deal with it more and more.
The Provincial Water Resources Department insists on updating information every day, scientifically scheduling based on local actual conditions and changes in water storage in reservoirs, and manage cross-regional water diversion. For example, Wangying Reservoir flows through more than 100 culverts and gates through the Yangwu Main Canal. After 36 hours of crossing mountains and ridges and a total length of 52 kilometers, the water is delivered to Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, which is in urgent need of irrigation.
As the weather changes, there will be a precipitation in Hubei at the end of August. The Provincial Water Resources Department is also dispatching various reservoirs to take advantage of rainfall and artificial rain increase opportunities to store as much water as possible, resist severe droughts, and resist long droughts, and strive to ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grain this year.
