In the face of drought, Huarong County scientifically analyzed and adapted to local conditions. Through county-level leaders, technical forces and departmental experts were organized to go to the front line, and led townships, village (community) cadres, party members and the masses to fight against drought and ensure harvest. At present, more than 70,000 cadres and masses have been dispatched, and various methods of water search are adopted, such as attracting, replenishing, transferring, receiving, and sending, and irrigating more than 500,000 mu of farmland.
"Our specific approach is to guide outside the river, replenish engineering measures, multi-level irrigation and adjustment, make every effort to tap potential, integrate resources and provide suggestions and guidance." Huarong County Party Secretary Tao Weijun introduced that since late July, Huarong County has set up 411 pumps along the Yangtze River , Ouchi River , and Huarong River, and turned on the machine to divert water without interruption 24 hours a day, with a daily water diversion volume of 4 million cubic meters. As of August 18, more than 100 million cubic meters of water were diverted.
In Meitianhu Town, Huarong County, where the drought is severe, 20 water pumps in Zhangjiawan Jibu, which ensure water use in 6 villages along the Ouchi River, are turned on day and night. Watching streams of clear water flow into the fields, Shang Qiuhai, a large farmer in Jinji Village, said happily: "In the high temperature and rain-free and late rice is about to enter the critical period when the late rice is about to enter the heading, the government has brought us water by increasing pumping. Rain in time'! ”

"Drought resistance and harvest protection is our own business. Only when everyone works hard can we overcome difficulties together." Ding Ji'an, a large breeder in Liuxian Village, Caojun Town, Huarong County, raised more than 60,000 yuan to drill a pumping well about 80 meters deep. The drought-resistant water sources were provided to the people of this group for free, which solved the problem of water shortage of 280 acres of farmland in the surrounding area, and benefited more than 30 households. Under the influence of Ding Ji'an, a group of enthusiastic people in the Bayou Village 11, Liuxian Village, spontaneously organized the installation of four small 8-inch machines from the Bayou River outside the Bayou River, and lifted irrigation to the Bayou River irrigation canal to irrigate the farmland of Liuxian Village, effectively alleviating Bayou River Drought in groups of more than 400 acres of farmland.
In the Dongting Lake area, Huarong County fully plays the role of the northern water replenishment project in Dongting Lake. All pumping gates along the line are opened, and supporting digging channels are 62.4 kilometers to ensure sufficient water sources in the bay. In view of the actual situation that the tributaries of the Ouchi River in the county have been cut off, blocking the dam and blocking water in a timely manner to ensure that the remaining bottom water in the river channel does not flow away. On the premise of fully ensuring domestic water use, we coordinated with 61 tap water plants in the county to maximize the potential and withdrawal of water. For areas with severely affected water shortage and key agricultural and seedling production areas, sanitation, tap water, and related enterprises are integrated to deliver water to villages and households, with a daily water supply of 600 tons, maximizing the water supply to ensure the maximum water supply.

At the same time, Huarong County has carried out extensive water conservation publicity and vigorously advocated water conservation. The daily water use of the county is 15,000 tons less than the same period in previous years. In agriculture, water-saving measures such as sprinkler irrigation and irrigation are generally adopted to reduce water resource waste. (End)
