Minister Interview How to enhance the China flood and drought disaster response capacity
[Ning]: Hello, everyone was very happy online interaction with you to answer some of the problems of the users. I will try to answer users’ questions, please netizens discussions, recommendations and opinions on the question I answered. [14:59] [friends I music]: Following the severe drought in the Southwest region in 2010, this year took place in severe drought, please tell us about the present the country’s drought. [15:01] [Ning]: the affected area of arable land of 7456 mu, with 1511 million people, 9.32 million livestock Yinhan drinking water problem occurs, like the southwest Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the total area of farmland affected by drought 4141 million mu, accounting for 56 percent of the country, of which 2036 mu of dry weight, dry 788 acres; 1345 million and 6.39 million livestock Yinhan drinking water problems in the number of drinking water problems and the number of livestock accounted for 89% and 69% respectively. [15:03] [users want to sing to sing: What are the characteristics of this year’s drought? [15:07] [Ning]: this year’s drought has six characteristics: Following the beginning of this year, the main winter wheat producing areas of the occurrence of severe meteorological drought and the Yangtze River in May after a rare meteorological drought southwest China, since July occurred a severe drought. Nationwide drought and years earlier overall lighter, but very serious drought in southwest. First, people drink very prominent difficulties in some areas has been increasing. Currently, the National Yinhan drinking water number than normal over the same period the high side is doubled, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces a total of 1238 people Yinhan drinking water, accounting for 82 percent of the country. Continued below normal rainfall, the water sources continue to consume part of the Arid Regions drink difficulties further exacerbate, Guizhou Province, 20 county water supply to the different degrees of tension. At present, the number of Yinhan drinking water an increase of nearly 2 million over the end of August. The second is the continued high temperatures, soil serious lack of moisture. Since July, most of the arid Southwest temperature remained high, in some areas of high temperature days for more than 40 days; is generally 10 to 20 days in most parts of the continuous effective rainfall in some areas over 30 days. The continued hot dry cause severe arid areas in most soils lack of moisture. Drought centralized distribution, a wide range of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces affected by drought. Arid areas mainly concentrated in the central and western regions of the Southwest and Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, only arable land have been affected area of 5417 mu, accounting for 73 percent of the country. Guizhou province’s 88 counties (cities, districts) with varying degrees of drought, nine cities and prefectures of 66 counties (cities, districts) and a severe drought in Yunnan Province. Fourth, the rapid development of the South the drought, part of the arid region has suffered serious losses. Early August to early September, just one month time, the arable land have been affected area of the southern region increased from 2499 million mu to 5509 mu, the average daily increase of 100 mu. Guizhou Province, the summer drought than the normal 10-20 days in advance, the greater impact on the key development stages of rice, corn, and other crops, the continuing drought is also a great impact on hydropower generation, inland navigation, the province Yinhan direct economic loss of more than 12.3 billion yuan; Yunnan Province, the direct economic losses amounting to $ 7.6 billion, of which agricultural losses amounting to 7.1 billion yuan. Fifth, runoff and rivers dried up, the serious shortage of water. Flood season, southwest of major rivers and runoff than the same period the year from 2 to 8 percent less than normal. Rivers and runoff, Guizhou Province 5 to 8 percent less than normal, there are 455 small and medium-sized rivers; and 3 to 8 percent less than normal rivers and runoff, Yunnan, 147 small and medium-sized rivers. Southwest provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities water conservancy water storage is generally 2 to 4 percent less than normal, more than 1500 small reservoirs dry, drought-resistant water shortage problem is particularly prominent. National Agricultural drought is light, food production, a bumper harvest. Rainfall in most parts of the country this year, less than normal overall, but more uniform, more favorable to the growth of crops. At present, the overall national agricultural drought lighter area of farmland affected by drought than many years of below normal 47% over the same period, the northeast, the Huang-Huai-Hai and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, most of the major grain producing areas in autumn crop has entered the harvest season, the limited impact of drought on grain production . However, due to drought mainly southwest karst rocky desertification region, water storage capacity flow conditions, water scarcity, drought in these areas of food and cash crops production as well as the impact of drinking water is particularly prominent. [15:07] [users 119.97.202]: Vice Minister Liu: Hello! Those of us long-term battle, the front line in the Flood Control and Drought Relief primary technical personnel, job classification is seriously lagging behind the treatment is extremely low. Flood control and benefit the public have access to, and why our wages drag drag four hair incomplete! To improve China’s flood control and drought, should be engaged in water conservation work should be the same capacity, the beginning of the contribution as the average wage. Obtain universal support and cooperation of the water conservancy, improve water market mechanisms, active pay water (flood control fee), the actual support of flood control and drought, water conservancy facilities, long-term sustainable normal operation. [15:09] [Ning]: First, the primary technical personnel fighting the front line in flood control and drought is very hard, every hardship, they rushed in the front line, urgent flood control and drought are worried, want to flood control think drought, the proposed emergency engineering measures, has made an important contribution to the anti-drought work. The job classification is the identification of technical personnel, technical capacity and technical and business level, it is the assessment work carried out in accordance with the assessment procedures and evaluation criteria. Annual assessment in the assessment of water systems should be to organize a technical titles, titles identified the appropriate technical staff. In any case, the water industry or individual technical staff are all very important thing, we must take seriously. There exist a lot of specific requirements, including the performance of professional titles of technical personnel, experience and the achievements they have done it, outcomes, results, etc. These assessments. And then through the examination of materials submitted to evaluation materials, by job classification experts to review the conclusion that the corresponding titles. I want this job classification process, and now it seems on the whole, scientific, and seeking truth from facts. I sincerely hope that the dedication in the front line of the primary technical staff, In addition to the usual selfless work, and actively respond to natural disasters, to upgrade their technology business, do not forget in a timely manner sum up, put my technical experience and technical performance. First, to achieve a recognized their business through this finishing; the same time, leaving the valuable experience and wealth, so that other comrades, other technical staff to get lessons from. I hope they can soon got his wish, to get properly assessed and identified on their own titles. Other comrades on the water work and society, and other personnel are the same, they should be able to enjoy the fruits of our country’s reform and opening, I believe that our government, our department will be in accordance with the corresponding policies, such staff for fair consideration, given the appropriate treatment. I also believe that with the increasing capacity of our flood control and drought, their work, their performance will be accepted by the community, will also get the support and cooperation of all the people. I believe that with the constantly increase the pace of development of water reform and beyond, especially the situation in the Central Water Conservancy Working Conference this year and the first document of the spirit under the guidance of our water conservation work will be newer, better achievement, will more recognition from society. Water is the grassroots level, to provide service and protection for the community. The construction of water conservancy, the national critical infrastructure. I hope we work together to achieve this goal. [15:14] [friends Ya-non]: Minister Liu, Water is a systems engineering, integrated, right? [15:16] [Ning]: the users mentioning this issue does come from a macro point of view, I think he mentioned the question the answer should be yes. Water is indeed a systematic project, which involves all aspects of society as a whole. So, we say that water is the source of life and production to the base of the ecological water conservancy construction is in such a request launched. Therefore, it is bound to need integrated to social development and reform needs to take into account the wishes of the people’s livelihood, to take into account our country building a moderately prosperous society of such a demand, provide a favorable security and services for economic and social development. It is not an independent, nor is it one of their own industry works. And agriculture, industry, all sectors of society are linked, in particular, water resources, it is actually related to all aspects of society as a whole, even if you do not think it is a systems engineering, systems engineering it is real, and this is not of human will. Which, in our construction, water development which must be top-level design to take into account the aspirations of all aspects of the development, scientific development and coordinated development, sustainable development. [15:24] [users jungle walk]: the face of severe drought in the southwest this year, you take what drought measures? How effective? [15:27] [Ning]: the face of severe drought in the southwest this year, National Headquarters, Ministry of Water Resources, careful organization, careful arrangements, unified command, strengthen the guidance, given the arid regions to support and help to effectively reduce the drought the impact and losses. First, and held several drought Chamber of Commerce will judge the situation of drought in the development of arrangements for the anti-drought work; sent several working groups to go to the serious drought in Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, inspect and guide the anti-drought work; The third is to organize and guide the arid regions each village and household Mopai drink a difficult situation to develop a water allocation schemes and drought emergency water supply program, the peak for the drought in 1405 million five provinces in southwest Yinhan drinking water difficulties and prominent, strengthen guidance, organization drought District, adopt effective measures to effectively solve the water problems of the arid region the basic living of the masses, the reservoir water supply to solve the 281 million people, and solve the 139 million people through emergency water diversion, drilling wells exploitation of groundwater to solve the 59 million, drawing water and bottled water to solve a 282 million temporary pump stations to solve the 130 million people, open up water and other means to protect 514 million people; is to strengthen the scientific control of the water conservancy projects, under the premise of ensuring the safety of flood control, and take full advantage of resources supplement for rainwater reservoirs and ponds filled with water, do everything possible to increase the water source; this year the Ministry of Finance row of five provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) serious drought subsidies of 340 million yuan in support of Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi and other provinces to carry out anti-drought work; six is allocated to the arid regions of Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing drought supplies from the central repository pump 151 sets of 26 well drilling machine, wash well equipment, looking for water geophysical equipment 9 sets gasoline and diesel generator sets of 213 units, 50 irrigation equipment, water purification equipment, 16, 267 shipped pitcher, cable, 19,300 meters, 30,000 meters of water hoses drought supplies, support arid areas carrying water to irrigate and people drink predicament; give full play around the drought service organizations a vital new force. This year the central government allocated 400 million yuan of funds, to support the five provinces in Southwest China (cities, districts) and 200 county-level drought service teams to purchase drought equipment. These devices are in place to rapidly put in after the drought, pull water and bottled water flow irrigation, emergency well drilling to provide strong support for the arid regions and drought relief. Eight is a comprehensive plan to strengthen the anti-drought work. Recently, the start of the deliberations of the National Drought Plan The south-western provinces also organized the preparation of the province’s drought planning, drought planning of the development of the province area. I believe once ratification and implementation of the national drought planning, we will form a top-down drought planning system, in order to more effectively carry out drought relief work. Arid regions and drought well drilling PLA General Staff actively support the deployment of the Water Supply Engineering Group of the Beijing Military Region Command operations staff of 202 people, drilling machine 4 and 59 support vehicles, go to the implementation of the Southeast, Tongren, Anshun, Guiyang, Guizhou Province Drought well drilling task. The troops have to carry out drilling wells operating in the mission area. We have received the latest news: the troops have been successful in Guizhou karst area Qiandongnan Shibing play the first sight of drought-resistant water wells. Arid Regions Party committees at all levels, government and flood control and drought relief headquarters to seriously implement the important instructions of the central leading comrades, to strengthen organizational leadership, to mobilize all forces to implement drought measures, according to statistics, since July, the arid regions around the accumulated investment drought labor more than 1260 million people, enable to electromechanical wells and 440,000 15000, pumping stations, motor-drought equipment 670,000 sets, complete drought pouring more than 3800 mu, anti-drought work is strong, orderly and effective. [15:27] [User A Yun]: This year, the Guizhou region also appeared in a severe drought, the southwest this is quite rich in water resources area, Why is there a serious drought? [15:33] [Ning]: frequency of occurrence of global climate change and extreme weather events in China in recent years in southwest rainfall continued below normal, the temperature remained high, which is the southwest drought reasons. Over the years, Guizhou is known as There are many ordinary people living in the mountains. Such a set of agricultural production systems, it is precisely in these two years encountered a substantial reduction in rainfall, and therefore more drought worsening. Since the beginning of this year, Guizhou, eastern Yunnan, Guangxi, Chongqing, rainfall was below normal 2-4, 4-5 into Sichuan southeast less than normal, especially since July, the southwest less than normal rainfall is more obvious, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi rainfall are the lowest since 1961, including Guizhou province less than normal 6.4%, Yunnan Qujing Zhaotong, Wenshan, Baise, Hechi, Sichuan Yibin, Zigong, Luzhou and other rainfall than the same period the year less than normal 4.5-6.5. Some areas of southeastern Sichuan, western Guizhou Province, northern, southeastern Yunnan and other places for almost 20 days to mid-September, no effective rainfall. In July, the average temperature of the arid Southwest than the normal level of about 1 degree, August, temperatures in most areas than the normal level of 1-2 degrees, northwestern Guizhou, western Chongqing, Sichuan, southeast high 2-4. The continued hot dry southwest region of severe drought. On the other hand, the weak southwest water infrastructure issues are still outstanding. Abundant water resources in the southwestern region, but the uneven spatial and temporal distribution, water distribution does not match with the focus on the areas of water and time requirements, the economy is relatively developed, lack the farmland concentrated basin and pingba of water resources in; high water low in most parts of fields, the population living dispersed, scattered distribution of arable land, water resources development and utilization of difficulties, and investment in water conservancy construction, high cost, the backbone of the lack of control projects, water resources development and utilization of low degree, an average of only 10.2 percent of the five provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), Guangxi highest 16.4%, Yunnan lowest, only 6.9%. Coupled with long-standing water conservancy investment in low part of the existing water conservancy construction standards, supporting imperfect, dangerous hazards and more aging dilapidated serious, to reach the design capacity, can not fully play its due benefits. Southwest provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the effective irrigation area of 1.07 million mu, only 37% of the arable land, most of the farmland is only dependent on the weather. It can be said that the the southwest Precipitation uneven distribution of project water shortages highlight is also the result of a drought occurred frequently. [15:34] [the users mztyhao]: how to fundamentally solve the serious problem of the Southwest drought? [15:40] [Ning]: climate change, less rainfall is a natural phenomenon, it will directly lead to the occurrence of drought. Drought conditions in recent years, especially 2010 and this year a severe drought exposed the outstanding problems that we can strive to achieve is a greater determination to take more effective measures to further increase efforts to the construction of water infrastructure investment to further strengthen the the drought engineering measures and non-engineering measures, further enhancing drought mitigation and water conservation awareness in the community, to enhance the comprehensive capacity of China’s drought relief. First, strengthen the construction of water infrastructure. In accordance with the requirements of the 2011 central file 1, the full implementation of the policies and measures to accelerate the development of water reform, increase the water conservancy construction investment, and to fundamentally reverse the construction of water infrastructure lag behind. Should give full play the leading role of governments at all levels, and constantly improve the medium and small rivers and small reservoirs to reinforce the weak link in the construction of rural drinking water safety and other water conservancy, focus on strengthening the irrigation district field engineering, Last Channel matching, as well as the support the development of support capabilities. Last year Southwest drought period, the Ministry of Water Resources Organization has prepared a water project construction planning of the southwestern region, should continue to do the planning of the organization and implementation of comprehensive drought mitigation. The second is the development and implementation of the National Drought Plan Drought planning is the next period to promote the national drought disaster reduction strategic, fundamental guiding document for the implementation of the plan will significantly improve the overall level of national drought mitigation. At present, the Ministry of Water Resources in conjunction with the Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance has been the National Drought Plan According to the plan after the approval of the National Drought Plan The ability to significantly improve food security, water security and ecological security and build a strong basis of drought. Third, is the Strengthening drought organization and security system. This year, at the national level, the state has adopted many effective drought policies and measures, such as the 1200 drought grassroots service organizations Drought purchase of machinery and equipment, subsidies drought pouring subsidy policy, the implementation of the eight provinces of the winter wheat region. the same time drought relief material reserves at the national level, of need to support local anti-drought work. Drought in five provinces in Southwest China, the central government allocated 400 million yuan to support 200 drought team and drought equipment purchase, making the primary drought service teams to the sound development of long-term operation and play an active role in the resist severe drought. Critical period in the south-western provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) anti-severe drought, the National Headquarters of the emergency allocation of high-power water pumps, wells, equipment and other equipment played an important role. Organization and guidance around the amendments to improve the drought plan, to further enhance the pertinence and operability of the plan to ensure effective and orderly and effective implementation of anti-drought work. The fourth is to strengthen the drought monitoring and early warning capacity building. To accelerate the drought monitoring and early warning system to increase the number and density of the drought monitoring site in drought-prone areas, strive for early completion of the soil moisture measuring network covering the whole country, expanding the coverage of the hydrological drought forecasting system, strengthen the information on rivers, lakes, reservoirs, embankments, groundwater and other hydrological the monitoring and forecasting, as soon as possible the formation of steady drought information collection, management, reporting, and analysis mechanisms, and comprehensively improve the development of drought disaster forecast and early warning capabilities. [15:40] [users Gong Xinhua 6]: since the more dry the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the dry season after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the flood season more floods what causes? Three Gorges Dam in the end can bring the desired results? [15:56] [Ning]: drought and floods in recent years occurred in the Yangtze River, mainly caused by the uneven spatial and temporal distribution due to climate change and rainfall runoff. The Three Gorges Dam impoundment and power generation in 2003 and 2010, water storage to the normal water level is 175 m, the comprehensive benefits of flood control and power generation, shipping, water supply and other full play. Especially for middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the dry season the effective replenishment of storing the upper reaches of the Yangtze River floods, Feng fill dry, regulate the important role of flood and drought. During the serious drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River this year, the Three Gorges Project to downstream replenishment over 15 billion cubic meters, effectively easing the tense situation of the downstream water. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River in 2010 the largest flood peak since the Three Gorges building a database of 70,000 cubic meters per second, and impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir flood, reduce the peak flow of 30,000 cubic meters per second, the entire flood season a total of 26.6 billion cubic meters of storing flood, greatly reducing downstream flood control pressure; just happened this year in the autumn floods process, the Three Gorges Reservoir maximum abatement peak flow of 25,500 cubic meters per second, clipping rate of 55%, and the Han River to flood the effective peak load shifting, and once again played a flood control benefit. In addition, power generation and shipping benefits of the Three Gorges Project has been effective play to support the construction and development of economic and social. [15:56] [users harmonious mission: those who spend public money have corruption,MBT Baridi Shoes, how to prevent water conservancy acts of corruption? [16:04] [Ning]: preventing corruption has always been the rule the country of the event, not only China’s dynasties dynasties, and on the prevention of corruption as an important task of state management. Lack of supervision, the power is not effectively constrained, are likely to experience corruption. Our country attaches great importance to anti-corruption work, insist on treating the symptoms, treatment, punishment and prevention of both focus on prevention of anti-corruption policy, establish and improve relevant systems, and strengthen the punishment and prevention system. In a critical period for China’s economic and social development, effective prevention and treatment of various types of social corruption, and has achieved significant results. Ministry of Water Resources attaches great importance to the water system, clean government, has always been to prevent hydraulic engineering problem of corruption in a prominent position task, closely focus on the engineering safety, financial security cadres and security, production safety goals, adhere to First, strengthen the management. Adhere to rely on the system of managing people, rely on the various fields of engineering construction of system of rules and implementation process, strict implementation of the project legal person responsibility system, project bidding system, the construction project supervision, contract management system conscientiously implement the responsibility system to ensure project quality, honesty and. At the same time, persistently grasp the anti-corruption education, to promote honesty and self-discipline, efforts to prevent the The second is to strengthen supervision and inspection. Give full play to the better supervision departments supervise law enforcement, inspectors department works inspectors, the functional role of the audit department of financial supervision. Carry out routine supervision and inspection at the same time every year to organize forces to medium and small rivers, dangerous reservoirs to enhance engineering supervision and inspection. Recently, we established a Ministry of Supervision, Ministry of Water Resources two joint supervision and inspection mechanisms, combined with the transformation of economic development to implement the central deployment, supervision and inspection, is organizing the Working Group on the comprehensive supervision and inspection of hydraulic engineering. The third is to strengthen the penalties for illegal violations. Supervise the rectification examination revealed severe disciplinary offenses investigated and dealt with without leniency. At the same time strengthen the water conservancy online credit system through the establishment of, exposure to adverse business and irregularities. Are being gradually perfected the construction of water conservancy project risk control mechanism, through the improvement of long-term prevention mechanism to ensure the safety of water conservancy honest. [16:05] [User Goldenthal Hill Lu]: Recently, some areas in China took place in the autumn floods, please introduce this autumn floods caused by the disaster situation and the measures taken. [16:08] [Ning]: this year’s autumn floods showed four characteristics: First, the heavy rainfall, the space-time is highly concentrated. Rainfall above normal, local rainfall intensity. Three rivers at the same time autumn floods, rarely seen in history. Fourth, the impact of a wide range of flood magnitude. Since September 1, the Yangtze River basin of the Han River, Jialing River and the Yellow River Basin Jing Luo Wei of three strong rainfall, resulting in more than 40 rivers in Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan and other provinces more than the warning of flood. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River drainage Jiang Fasheng ultra-history of the measured record flood return period of 100 years, the Han River took place 20 years of a great flood, the Yellow River tributary of the Weihe River, Wye River occurred since 1981 and since 2003 maximum flood. The occurrence of the severe autumn floods in the two rivers, a river at the same time, rarely seen in history. According to the latest statistics, autumn floods caused by the 2340 Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Henan, Hubei and other 11 provinces, 189 counties (cities) township (town) 1123 million people were affected, the death tolls of 97 people, 21 people missing, emergency The transfer of 193 million, 170,000 houses collapsed, the crops were affected and 408 thousand hectares, there are 17 cities above county level flooded the direct economic loss of 21.115 billion yuan, water conservancy facilities, the economic loss of 2.779 billion yuan. According to analysis, the autumn floods caused by the personnel were killed and missing locations mainly in the river upstream mountain, flood disasters caused by the death of more than 85% of the total. Loss of floods up to the present statistics, this year compared with the same period of history since 1990, the main indicators are below normal, the direct economic loss of about 1% less than normal, the affected area, the disaster area, the affected population, deaths, the number of collapsed houses than the average for many years, 5 to 8 percent less than normal the past two decades flood disaster losses smallest year. CPC Central Committee and State Council attach great importance to the autumn floods defense work to start the emergency response in accordance with flood control, timely, scientific control of works to enhance embankment inspection of defense, and enhanced support for guidance, and timely transfer of the masses of the danger zone to ensure flood safety. National Headquarters, Ministry of Water Resources in accordance with the instructions of the central leadership to co-ordinate the deployment of all the work that is defensive in autumn floods,MBT Night Shoes, rolling monitoring and forecasting, strengthen flood control duty, scientific control of floods, minimize the loss of floods, autumn floods of a river defense victory to take a six responses: First, strengthen organization and leadership, and implementation of the various responsibilities. Chen Lei, the SFCDRH deputy commander, Minister of Water Resources, rushed to the Han River, the Yellow River flood control and inspections of guide disaster relief work, the National Headquarters of the Secretary-General, Ministry of Water Resources Vice Minister Liu Ning, presided over several times in consultation with research work of the defense to make specific arrangements. The relevant provincial (municipal) defense work as top priority, personally deployment of the main leadership of the party committee and government leaders in charge of the top command, strengthen organizational leadership, the full implementation of the responsibility. Second, rolling forecast, encryption consultation judged. National Headquarters, Ministry of Water Resources are closely monitoring the flood, rolling forecast rainfall regimen encryption consultation analysis judged the flood emergency in consultation with encryption to three times once a day. Hydrological services at all levels pay close attention to the weather situation closely tracking the rainfall, scroll to release the precipitation forecast, accurate flood forecast process, and provided strong support for the scientific control. The third is to start timely response and effective deployment to deal with. National Headquarters to start at 10 o’clock on September 19 Ⅲ level flood control emergency response requirements of the member units in accordance with the division of responsibilities and the relevant provisions do work to strengthen the guidance and support of local anti-autumn floods. Nine times issued a circular calling to do a good defensive work. The Yangtze River, Yellow River Fangzong timely start to flood control and emergency response level Ⅲ. Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and Shaanxi provinces and cities in the prompt start of the flood control and grade Ⅱ ~ Ⅲ emergency response, to make the deployment of the defense work. Fourth, people-centered, timely transfer of the masses. National Headquarters to implement The fifth is to enhance the project’s scheduling, scientific clipping shunt. National Headquarters and the Yangtze River Fangzong Yellow Fangzong and Province Shi Fangzhi strengthen the scheduling of the Three Gorges, Danjiangkou Yellow wave the end of Reservoir Hydropower and flood diversion projects. The flood process Three Gorges danjiangkou, Xiaolangdi Ankang reservoir storing flood volumes were 59.98,19.86,27.02 and 588 million cubic meters. Three Gorges reservoir to reduce peak flow of 25,500 cubic meters per second, clipping rate of 55 percent, Danjiangkou Reservoir clipping rate of 50%, Yiluo Luhun County Reservoir clipping rate is 45.2% and 39.8%, significantly reduce the reservoir downstream areas flood pressure. Hubei Province to using Dujiatai flood river to divert 232 million cubic meters of the Han River flood. At the same time ensure that the reservoir and downstream flood safety, the co-ordination of National Headquarters to consider flood protection and Hennessy needs, storing flood resources, and laid a solid foundation for the late Hennessy impoundment. Sixth, strengthen the inspection and guidance to strengthen the danger disposal. The national air defense office in a critical period of the river defense and flood subsided, timely notice, to guide the local response to strengthen the dike defense and withdrawal of water, and sent seven working groups and expert team to Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi and other provinces to help local flood fighting and rescue work to do. Flood the critical period, the National Headquarters deputy commander of the Water Resources Minister Chen Lei in Wuhan personally took command. Zhan Liu, Weihe Huaxian danger appears in the afternoon, the National Headquarters Working Group on the scene to develop a rescue plan, 800 rescue team members after 20 hours struggling to Qiang Hu, danger smooth exclude. Weihe River, Hanjiang River dike many other danger after struggling Qiang Hu, also all been effectively controlled, the main dikes and the dike without a burst reservoir without a collapse to maximize the protection of people’s lives and property safety. [16:08] [users far from the text]: It is understood that in recent years in the flood disaster losses, loss of flood disasters larger proportion, you talk about what effective measures in China in the mountain flood defense? [16:09] [Ning]: The friends seem very concerned about the floods of our nation’s defense situation, you mention this issue in itself shows the importance of the mountain flood defense. According to our statistics, the number of deaths caused by floods in recent years, the number of deaths due to flash floods disaster more than 80%. Caused due to heavy rainfall this autumn floods the process of small and medium-sized rivers, flash floods, landslides, mudslides and other disasters caused the death of the missing 100 people, accounting for the flood disaster in process 85% of the total death number of missing. Flood disasters in China because over a broad area, the sudden re-issued, forecasting difficulty, suffered heavy casualties and other reasons, the prevention of flood disasters has become a top priority of the flood prevention work. The prevention of flood disasters, the primary objective to minimize casualties, based prevention and control measures in to prevent combining prevention with control, mainly non-structural measures, non-engineering measures combining engineering measures. Non-engineering measures include: flood disasters screening, delineation of the danger zone, the preparation of the primary defense plans and determine the critical rainfall and water level warning indicators, construction Hydrology monitoring sites with the necessary early warning facilities, the construction of county-level monitoring and early warning platform, the establishment of group monitoring and controlling systems, the implementation of grass-roots accountability, advocacy training exercises. Engineering measures to govern direct threat to the town, concentrated settlements or important facilities, safety, and difficult to implement the flash floods of relocation ditch. Defense of the flood disasters, we have full implementation and has already played an important role in one of the main measures: the Ministry of Water Resources Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, China Meteorological Administration to start the flash flood control at the county level non-engineering measures projects , plans to initially built the three-year period covering the 1836 flash flood control tasks at the county level non-engineering measures system, and comprehensively improve the defense capabilities and the level of flood disasters in China, and effectively reduce casualties, especially effective avoid Qunsiqunshang event occur. 2010 and 2011, the central government issued the grant funds of $ 2.8 billion for the 1100 counties in the mountain flood prevention in non-engineering measures. 2012 will complete the construction tasks of the remaining 736 counties, non-engineering measures. As far as we know, in the mountain flood defense in this year’s flood season, Hunan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other places use prevention and control of flood disasters just been built or are building the system of non-engineering measures, timely release of the defense flash flood disaster warning, ahead of the transfer of the masses of threats to regional played a significant disaster prevention and mitigation effectiveness. disasters monitoring and early warning systems and monitoring and prevention system in the eyes of the grassroots cadres and the masses suffering from the pain of flood disasters has become a veritable Let me give an example, at 4 am on June 10, 2011, Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province, the devastating storm, local rainfall intensity exceeded the historical extremes. Xiushui County flood disasters monitoring and early warning systems, timely early warning, early transfer of dangerous people in areas, in the case of the collapse of 3,000 houses, to avoid casualties.
