my country's water resources are short of water resources, extremely uneven time and space distribution, and frequent floods and droughts. It is the most complex water situation in the world, the most difficult to manage rivers, and the most arduous task of water control one of the countries. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all sectors of society have paid attention to water management, focused on water management, and scientific water management, and solved many water conservancy problems that have been wanted to be solved but have not been solved for a long time. my country's water conservancy industry has achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes.
According to reports, over the past ten years, my country has solved the drinking water safety problem of 280 million rural people, and the rural tap water penetration rate has reached 84%. 7330 large and medium-sized irrigation areas have been built, with an effective irrigation area of farmland reaching 1.037 billion mu. On the irrigation area that accounts for 54% of the national arable land area, 75% of the country's grain and more than 90% of the economic crops have been produced, in order to "put the Chinese's rice bowl." It has laid a solid foundation for it.
The way of water resource utilization has achieved deep changes. In 2021, my country's water consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP and industrial added value of decreased by 45% and 55% respectively compared with 2012. The effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water increased from 0.516 in 2012 to 0.568 in 2021. In the past decade, my country's total water use has remained basically stable. With freshwater resources accounting for 6% of the world, it has nurtured nearly 20% of the world's population and created more than 18% of the world's total economic output.
water resource allocation pattern achieves global optimization. The national water supply capacity of water conservancy projects has increased from 700 billion cubic meters in 2012 to 890 billion cubic meters in 2021.
Over the past decade, the appearance of rivers and lakes has been fundamentally improved. The Mother River recovery action has caused the overall groundwater level in North China to rebound. In 2021, shallow groundwater and deep pressure water in the control area will rebound by 1.89 meters and 4.65 meters compared with 2018. The water ecology of Baiyangdian has been restored, and a large number of Yongding River and other The rivers have been completely connected to water for many years after the shutdown, and the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou has been fully connected for the first time in a century. Over the past ten years, a total of 580,000 square kilometers of soil erosion have been managed, and the area and intensity of soil erosion in the country have "double declines".
Li Guoying said that as we embark on a new journey, the water conservancy department will thoroughly implement the water management idea of "water conservation first, space balance, systematic governance, and two-hand efforts", anchor the overall goal of comprehensively improving the national water security guarantee capacity, and solidly promote water conservancy in the new stage in a water stage High-quality development , and contribute water conservancy strength to strive to write a new chapter in comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
