Several publishers will jointly answer questions of concern. Now, first of all, we would like to invite Vice Minister Chen Min to make an introduction.
First, the number of water conservancy projects started has increased considerably. From January to September, 24900 new water conservancy projects were started nationwide, an increase of 12.9% over the same period last year; The total investment was 1.15 trillion yuan, an increase of 8% over the same period last year. Among them, 35 major water conservancy projects were started, including the water supply of Xiongan main canal in Hebei Province in the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the allocation of water resources in Guangxi in the Beibu Gulf Rim, the key water network project in Jilin Province, and the regulation of Wenchaojian River in Beijing, and the construction of national, regional and provincial water network engineering systems was accelerated.
Second, the implementation and completion of water conservancy construction investment reached a record high in the same period in history. From January to September, 1075 billion yuan was invested in water conservancy construction and 860.1 billion yuan was invested, both of which reached the highest level in the same period in history. Among them, 10 provinces, including Guangdong, Shandong, Hebei, Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Yunnan and Fujian, have invested more than 40 billion yuan, effectively playing a role in stimulating the economy.
Third, the construction of water conservancy projects has been accelerated in an all-round way. Major projects under construction, such as the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the allocation of water resources in Guangdong around the Beibu Gulf, the second phase of the Huaihe River waterway into the sea, and the regulation of the Wusong River in Taihu Lake, have been speeded up, the main project of the Datengxia Water Conservancy Project has been completed in an all-round way, and the water resources allocation projects in Shaanxi, Gansu, Pingtan, Fujian and Minjiang Estuary have been completed. Start to bring benefits into play. We will accelerate the construction and modernization of large and medium-sized irrigation areas, vigorously improve the rural water supply engineering system, coordinate the construction of water networks at the municipal and county levels, and make every effort to open up the "last kilometer" of the national water network.
Fourth, the role of water conservancy construction in absorbing employment is more prominent. From January to September, 2.212 million people were employed in the construction of water conservancy projects, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year, and 41.13 billion yuan of wages were paid, an increase of 37.1% over the previous year; Among them, 1.754 million rural laborers were absorbed, an increase of 2.8% over the same period last year, and 30.61 billion yuan of wages were paid, an increase of 34% over the same period last year. More people received more remuneration in water conservancy construction, and water conservancy played an active role in stabilizing employment and increasing income.
Next, the Ministry of Water Resources will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches and instructions, conscientiously integrate ideas and actions into the scientific judgment and decision-making of the CPC Central Committee on the current economic situation and economic work, make every effort to do a good job in the construction of water infrastructure in the fourth quarter, and strive to start a new one.

That's all
I have to say. Next, my colleagues and I would like to answer questions from journalists.
Q & A Session
Q & A 1
Media:
Just now, Vice Minister Chen Min introduced the overall situation of water conservancy infrastructure construction from January to September this year. Judging from the completion of investment, it has reached 860.1 billion yuan, the highest in the same period in previous years. What effective measures has the Ministry of Water Resources taken to achieve this result? Ccement. Com/richtext/IMG/deox0yvy8771698290189239. Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Water Resources has conscientiously implemented the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, strengthened organizational leadership and coordination, and made every effort to promote the construction of water conservancy infrastructure. The investment completed from January to September reached a record high in the same period. Mainly adopted three measures:
First, pay close attention to the implementation of investment. This is the basis for large-scale water infrastructure construction. On the one hand, water conservancy departments at all levels actively strive for public finance to increase investment in water conservancy construction. From January to September, all levels of finance implemented 607.8 billion yuan of water conservancy construction funds, an increase of 10.5 billion yuan compared with the same period last year. On the other hand, in order to meet the investment demand of large-scale water conservancy construction, deepen the reform of water conservancy investment and financing, guide local water conservancy departments and project legal persons, do a good job in project reserve, improve the project repayment mechanism, strive to declare local government special bonds, actively make good use of the policy of financial support for water conservancy, and increase financial investment. At the same time, we should actively attract social capital to participate in water conservancy construction through franchising and government purchasing services. From January to September, 176.1 billion yuan of local government special bonds and 188.5 billion yuan of financial loans were issued, basically maintaining the high level of the same period last year. Another big highlight of this year's investment is social capital, which invested 102.6 billion yuan, an increase of 25% over the same period last year.
. In order to ensure the scale and progress of water infrastructure construction and further enhance the ability of water security, new projects have been planned ahead of schedule since the end of last year, preliminary work has been done well in advance, inventory management has been implemented, monthly tracking and dispatching have been carried out, and major projects have been tracked and notified weekly. Especially for major water conservancy projects, water conservancy departments at all levels take the initiative to communicate and coordinate with development and reform, natural resources, ecological environment, forestry and grass departments, and jointly consult with them to solve the problems of land use, environmental assessment, project approval and other difficult blockages step by step, so as to promote the early opening of projects. Since the beginning of this year, 24,900 new water conservancy projects have been started nationwide, with an investment scale of 1. Among them, 35 major water conservancy projects have been started, such as the Xiongan Trunk Canal of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the Guangxi Water Resources Allocation Project around the Beibu Gulf, and the Jilin Water Network Backbone Project. These projects play an important role in improving the water security capacity of the basin region. For example, the water resources allocation project around the Beibu Gulf in Guangxi has an average annual water supply of 8.
Third, pay close attention to the construction progress. Focusing on the key links of key issues such as project implementation progress and investment completion, the Ministry of Water Resources has organized 19 dispatching consultations since this year to strengthen targeted guidance for areas with slow progress, put forward clear requirements, compact work responsibilities, speed up construction progress as far as possible and form more physical workload on the premise of ensuring quality and safety. Due to the early, detailed and solid work this year, the investment completed in a single month has basically been more than 100 billion yuan since March, laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of the year-round goals and tasks. Thank you! Ccement. Com/richtext/IMG/celv0898kf1698290217272. The following work has been done:
First, the construction of rural water supply projects has been continuously strengthened. The Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the High-quality Development of Rural Water Supply were specially issued, which put forward clear requirements for the ideas, paths and specific measures for the high-quality development of rural water supply in various regions. To guide and urge all localities to give priority to the integration of urban and rural water supply and the large-scale construction of centralized water supply, and to promote the standardized construction and transformation of small-scale water supply projects according to local conditions. Local governments raised funds through multiple channels to promote the construction of rural water supply projects. From January to September, 106.91 billion yuan was invested in the construction of rural water supply projects, and 833 yuan has been invested. Construction of rural water supply project 17089 and completion of 11504 have been started, and 5493 yuan has been improved.
Second, special actions have been carried out to improve the quality of rural water supply. We have jointly strengthened the protection of rural drinking water sources with relevant departments, equipped with water purification and disinfect equipment, and carried out comprehensive water quality self-inspection for the integration of urban and rural water supply and large-scale projects. Strengthen the water quality inspection and spot check of small-scale centralized and decentralized rural water supply projects, and constantly strengthen the water quality guarantee of rural water supply.
Third, we should accelerate the specialization of management and protection. We will actively promote the unified management of rural water supply counties and districts, strengthen the standardized management of rural centralized water supply projects, and promote the construction of digital twin rural water supply projects. We will improve the mechanism for the formation of water prices and the collection of water charges, and accelerate the promotion of metering and charging. From January to September, all localities implemented maintenance funds for rural water supply projects 42. Maintenance funds have been completed 35.Maintenance of 78,000 rural water supply projects to serve the rural population. 1.
Fourth, ensure the safety of drinking water in rural areas. Strengthen the comprehensive investigation and dynamic monitoring of rural drinking water situation, so as to achieve early detection and early solution of problems, and maintain dynamic zero. To guide the areas affected by flood and drought disasters to strengthen emergency water supply security in rural areas, speed up the repair of water-damaged water supply projects, strengthen water quality testing, and make every effort to ensure the safety of drinking water for rural people in disaster-stricken areas. Through new projects, maintenance, emergency water supply and other measures, we have solved 169. Next, we will continue to follow up and vigorously improve the support capacity and management level of rural water supply projects. Thank you! Thank you! Ccement. Com/richtext/IMG/ifczzkr9hto1698290245487. Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Water Resources has thoroughly implemented the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on comprehensively accelerating the construction of water conservancy infrastructure, conscientiously implemented the Outline of the National Water Network Construction Plan, and accelerated the construction of major water conservancy projects. With the joint efforts of water administrative departments at all levels and the construction units, the third quarter continued the good situation of major water infrastructure construction since this year. In the first three quarters of this year, the major water conservancy projects issued by the central investment plan completed a total investment of 90.16 billion yuan, accounting for 64 % of this year's investment plan. Construction of major water conservancy projects, such as Guangxi Water Resources Allocation Project around Beibu Gulf, Beijing Wenchao River Reduction Project, Safety Construction Project of Fangzhou Xietang Flood Storage and Detention Area in Zhuhu Yellow Lake, Jiangxi Province, and Optimization Layout Project of National Soil and Water Conservation Monitoring Station, has started 35 major water conservancy projects in the first three quarters, and the number of projects started has remained high. It covers many types of projects, such as water diversion, flood control, irrigation and ecology.
Second, construction projects under construction have been accelerated. A number of projects have achieved the goal of important nodes. After the trial operation of the water diversion project from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River at the end of 2022, the Fenghuangjing Pumping Station has accelerated the construction of the main project, the rest of the project has been basically completed, and the joint commissioning of the trial water diversion of the whole line is being promoted. The second phase of the water diversion project from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River has also started the construction of the main project. Datengxia Water Conservancy Project has passed the acceptance of the last unit, all eight units have been put into operation, and the main project has been completed in an all-round way, significantly ahead of the original plan. The water transmission line of Inner Mongolia Water Diversion Project has completed 294 kilometers, accounting for 75% of the total length of 390 kilometers, and has entered a critical stage. The Tianjiaotan Water Conservancy Project in Hainan was impounded, the second phase of the Tao River Diversion Project in Gansu and the Dajihuang River Diversion Project in Qinghai were put into operation, and the Nianpanshan Water Conservancy and Hydropower Project in Hubei Province was put into operation.
Third, the benefits of the completed project are beginning to show. The water resources allocation project of Pingtan and Minjiang River Estuary in Fujian Province and Huaqiao Reservoir in Jiangxi Province have been completed one after another. The construction of flood detention area in the east of Nansi Lake in Shandong Province and the flood control project and safety construction of Yueliangpao flood storage and detention area have been completed and accepted, and will be transferred to the stage of operation and management, which will bring the project benefits into full play in ensuring flood control safety and water supply safety.
At present, in the fourth quarter, the Ministry of Water Resources will resolutely implement the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, work with relevant departments and localities to organize and implement meticulously, strengthen dispatching consultation, strengthen quality control, and do a good job in safety production, so as to strive for a promising spirit and a sense of responsibility of "always at ease". To ensure the completion of the annual objectives and tasks of water conservancy construction.
Q & A 4
Media:
Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture, and irrigation areas are the basic guarantee for national food security. What work has the Ministry of Water Resources carried out in the construction of irrigation areas since this year? What results have been achieved? The climate characteristics and basic water regime in China determine that irrigation guarantee is indispensable for high yield and bumper harvest of agriculture. In order to ensure national food security, the Ministry of Water Resources has continuously improved the irrigation and drainage engineering system, further developed the irrigation area, and accelerated the process of modernization and transformation of irrigation areas.
First, we should optimize the dispatch of water resources and make every effort to ensure the demand for grain irrigation water. To guide local analysis and judgment, advance water storage and scientific dispatch, and give full play to the role of water supply guarantee in large and medium-sized irrigation areas, more than 290 billion cubic meters of water have been supplied for spring, summer and autumn irrigation this year. In view of the drought in Northwest China, a cooperative working mechanism has been established with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, with large and medium-sized irrigation areas as units, in accordance with the requirements of precise scope, precise objects, precise time periods and precise measures, to fully guarantee irrigation water, providing a solid water conservancy guarantee for high yield and bumper harvest of grain.
The second is to strengthen the management of accounts and accelerate the construction progress of irrigation projects. This year, 38.8 billion yuan will be allocated, of which 21.3 billion yuan will be from the central government to support the construction and renovation of 598 large and medium-sized irrigation areas, an increase of 7 percentage points over last year. We should strengthen project scheduling, improve the ability of analysis and judgment, follow up and guide provinces with slow construction progress, and speed up construction progress. By the end of September, 25.9 billion yuan had been invested. In September, the irrigation area project entered the "golden period" of construction, and the investment completed in the third quarter of the irrigation area was significantly faster than that in the first two quarters. While ensuring the quality of construction projects, we encourage the adoption of work-for-relief and other means to promote stable employment of rural people, especially those who have been lifted out of poverty, and increase their income. Since this year, about 100000 rural laborers have been employed.
Third, pilot projects should be carried out first to promote the construction of modern irrigation areas. Several meetings have been held to dispatch and exchange typical experiences, and to promote the deepening of the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, the pilot construction of modern irrigation areas and the pilot construction of digital twin irrigation areas. To establish a "one-to-one" tracking and guidance mechanism, the first batch of 21 pilot projects to deepen the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices and promote the construction of modern irrigation areas were launched this year. The cost of agricultural water prices was calculated according to the new requirements. Fourteen pilot projects implemented 3.4 billion yuan of financial and social capital, and 18 provinces were guided to organize provincial pilot projects. Not long ago, a list of 13 digital twin irrigation models was released to strengthen the technical support for digital twin irrigation.
Fourth, we should plan layout and speed up the compilation of the National Plan for the Development of Farmland Irrigation. The Ministry of Water Resources, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas and other relevant departments, has fully linked up with the construction of high-standard farmland and the new round of action plan for increasing grain production capacity by 100 billion kilograms, carried out the balance analysis of water and soil resources in combination with the construction of water network projects, studied and put forward the development scale, quantity and regional layout of irrigation area, and reserved a number of large, medium and small irrigation areas. It provides a scientific planning basis and a detailed project basis for the modernization of farmland irrigation. Next, we should actively promote the implementation of the project and start construction as soon as possible. Thank you! The Outline of National Water Network Construction Planning calls for the construction of digital twin water network. What progress has the Ministry of Water Resources made in promoting the construction of digital twin water conservancy and what are the arrangements for the next step? Ccement. Com/richtext/IMG/riyrxx7g5p1698290304647. The Ministry of Water Resources has earnestly implemented the spirit of the important exposition of the General Secretary of Xi Jinping on water control and the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. It clearly takes the promotion of intelligent water conservancy construction as one of the six implementation paths to promote the high-quality development of water conservancy in the new stage, systematically constructs the digital twin water conservancy system, and makes top-level design for the digital twin basin, the digital twin water network and the digital twin project, so as to promote the construction of digital twin water conservancy.
First, we should actively promote the construction of digital twin basins. In 2022, the Ministry of Water Resources launched the pilot construction of 94 tasks of 56 units, summarized and refined to form typical cases, and demonstrated to lead the construction of digital twin basins. As the first digital twin basin project, the Yangtze River Basin Full Coverage Water Monitoring System has started construction in April 2023. Before the flood season of 2023, the water conservancy department, relying on the results of the first trial, carried out the "four pre-drills" of flood control dispatching and put them into application in the flood season, especially in the prevention of the "23.7" basin-wide extraordinary flood in the Haihe River, taking into account the dikes, flood diversion gates, safety zones (platforms), gate opening and closing, natural overflow, breach of the mouth, flood advance and retreat facilities, etc. Deduce the trend of flood evolution day by day, accurately grasp the situation of water head evolution, water storage, inundation scope and flood return to the channel in the flood storage and detention area, accurately predict the water head evolution process and the maximum inundation scope of Dongdian Lake 3 to 4 days in advance, and accurately judge the "non-use of Qingnan flood diversion area" 4 days in advance, so as to provide strong support for the safe operation of the flood storage and detention area and dike defense.
The second is to accelerate the pilot project of digital twin water network. The first batch of seven provincial-level water network pilot zones in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangxi, Hubei, Liaoning and Guangxi, the second batch of three provincial-level water network pilot zones in Anhui, Ningxia and Fujian, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project have started the construction of digital twin water networks, and the first batch of seven city-level and three county-level water network pilot zones have accelerated the construction of digital twin water networks. In combination with the implementation of the provincial water network pilot area, Zhejiang Province has vigorously promoted the construction of the digital twin water diversion project in eastern Zhejiang, and initially built a comprehensive information map of the digital twin water network, as well as four application modules, namely, safety monitoring, dispatching decision-making, daily management and emergency disposal, to effectively improve the intelligent level of the water network operation and dispatching management of the water diversion project in eastern Zhejiang. Anhui Province has orderly promoted the construction of digital twin water diversion from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River, and initially constructed a comprehensive three-dimensional perception system and intelligent dispatching system to ensure the safe operation and scientific and accurate dispatching of the water diversion project from the Yangtze River to the Huaihe River.
Third, vigorously promote the construction of digital twin projects. The construction of 11 key digital twin water conservancy projects, such as the Three Gorges, Xiaolangdi, Danjiangkou, Yuecheng, Nierji, Jiangya, Zaoshi, Wanjiazhai, Nansihu Secondary Dam, Datengxia and Taipu Gate, has been accelerated and remarkable results have been achieved. For example, the digital twin Xiaolangdi Project has initially completed the "four pre-applications" combining flood control dispatching and engineering safety, which supports the scientific decision-making of water and sediment regulation of the Yellow River in 2023. Digital twin Danjiangkou basically realizes dynamic comprehensive assessment of project safety, rolling guarantee of water supply safety and simulation of water quality safety, which provides important support for the double victory of autumn flood prevention and post-flood water storage of Hanjiang River in 2023. Through the digital twin irrigation area platform, Weishan Irrigation District realizes the real-time monitoring of water level and flow data of canal sluice stations, the dynamic simulation of water transmission and distribution process of the main canal system in the irrigation district, and the visualization of water distribution scheduling preview, so as to improve the level of water resources conservation, intensive and efficient utilization.
In the next step, the Ministry of Water Resources will speed up the construction of digital twin basins, digital twin water networks and digital twin projects in accordance with the requirements of "demand traction, application first, digital empowerment and capacity enhancement", realize the function of forecasting, early warning and rehearsal plan, and build a digital twin water conservancy system by 2025!This year, the "23 · 7" basin-wide catastrophic flood occurred in the Haihe River Basin, and the largest flood occurred in the Lalin River and Mayi River, the main tributaries of the Songhua River Basin, since the measured data were available, causing serious floods and exposing the weak links in flood control and management in the basin. The Ministry of Water Resources has thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, earnestly implemented the deployment of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on August 17, thoroughly and meticulously carried out this year's flood and drought disaster prevention, especially the review of the flood prevention work in the Haihe River Basin, identified the shortcomings and weaknesses, adhered to the problem orientation, based on the overall situation and the long-term, and strengthened the system. We should scientifically plan management of flood control systems in northern river basins such as the Haihe River, and enhance the flood prevention capacity of the river basin as a whole.
First, we should speed up the improvement of the flood control engineering system in the river basin, which is mainly composed of reservoirs, rivers, dikes, and flood storage and detention areas. First, speed up the construction of flood control reservoirs. A number of flood control reservoirs will be built, focusing on rivers lacking control projects, such as the concentrated source areas of rainstorms and floods in the basin and the areas prone to mountain torrents. Second, we should actively carry out key river regulation and embankment construction to meet the standards. We will accelerate the regulation of key rivers and small and medium-sized rivers in the Haihe River Basin, the Songhua River Basin and the Liaohe River Basin, promote the construction of dikes to meet the standards, strengthen the comprehensive management of estuaries, improve the flood discharge capacity of rivers and smooth the passage of floods into the sea. The three is to speed up the construction of flood storage and detention areas. We will promote the construction of dikes, flood control projects and safety facilities in flood storage and detention areas, implement the relocation of residents in high-risk areas, optimize the layout of zoning, achieve scientific, orderly and precise operation, and achieve the goal of "dividing, storing, discharging and human safety" in flood storage and detention areas. Fourth, strengthen the construction of urban flood control. According to the idea of "rejecting, bypassing and draining", relying on the flood control system of the river basin, we should improve the layout of urban flood control, push the defense line outward, reject the flood far away, bypass the key protected objects, smooth the flood drainage channels, and ensure the flood control safety of key cities. At the same time, efforts should be made to improve the level of flood control security for important infrastructure.
Secondly, we should speed up the construction of "three lines of defense" for rainfall monitoring and forecasting and digital twin basins. One is to establish the monitoring and forecasting defense line of "rain in clouds". We will improve the hydrometeorological satellite service system and build a rain-measuring radar network covering the concentrated source areas of rainstorms and floods in river basins and areas prone to mountain torrents. The second is to improve the "landing rain" monitoring and forecasting defense line. In the concentrated source area of rainstorm and flood and the plain area of the middle and lower reaches of the basin, more rainfall stations are set up. The third is to build a "flood evolution" monitoring and forecasting defense line. We will improve the network of hydrological stations in key rivers, small and medium-sized rivers and flood storage and detention areas, upgrade existing hydrological stations, strengthen emergency monitoring capacity, extend the flood forecast period and improve the accuracy of flood forecasting. The four is to promote the construction of digital twin basin. Speed up the construction of digital twin Haihe River, Songhua River and Liaohe River, and build digital twin Nenjiang River, Liaohe River and Yongding River in advance. Intelligent flood regulation platform is constructed, hydrodynamic flood evolution model of river course and flood storage and detention area is constructed, real-time flood evolution analysis is strengthened, and the function of "four previews" of forecast and early warning preview plan is realized to support flood control regulation and management decision-making.
Third, strengthen the rule of law management of flood control system and mechanism in river basins. On the one hand, we should strengthen unified planning, unified management, unified dispatch and unified management of river basins. We will speed up the revision of flood control plans for seven major river basins, such as the Haihe River and the Songliao River, scientifically determine the standards for the construction of tributaries, distinguish priorities, make overall arrangements for the implementation of priorities, and carry out river management one by one, so as to achieve one goal and one effect. Revise the river basin flood regulation scheme and improve the river basin flood control regulation and command system. On the other hand, we should strengthen the spatial control of rivers and lakes. Give full play to the role of river and lake length system, improve the mechanism of linking water administrative law enforcement with criminal justice and cooperating with procuratorial public interest litigation, and severely crack down on illegal acts such as encroachment on river and lake shorelines, reservoir capacity, flood storage and detention area space and obstruction of river flood discharge. Strict examination and approval of flood impact assessment and strengthen the management of flood storage and detention areas.
