According to the introduction of the General Office of the Yangtze River Defense, in the flood season of 20 17, the General Office of the Yangtze River Defense increased the joint dispatching scale of the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River from 2 1 in 20 16 to 28, with a total storage capacity of129.5 billion cubic meters. Specifically, seven controlled reservoirs in Qingjiang River and Dongting Lake water systems are mainly brought into the joint operation of reservoirs, thus extending the flood control scope of the Three Gorges from Chenglingji.
In order to further coordinate the benefits of flood control and comprehensive utilization of water resources of reservoirs in the middle and upper reaches of the basin and realize a more scientific, efficient and optimized joint dispatching scheme, Chen Min, director of the Yangtze River Committee's Defense Office, said that in 20 18 years, on the basis of the increase of 7 reservoirs in 20 17 years, another 12 reservoirs will be added, and the scope of joint dispatching will be extended above the hukou section to realize.
After years of efforts, the joint operation of reservoirs in the Yangtze River basin has initially formed a set of management and operation system. The joint operation of reservoirs will help to avoid the unfavorable factors such as "decentralized management" and "fighting in isolation" in the past, and help to realize the comprehensive benefits of water conservancy control projects in flood control and drought relief, power generation, shipping, water supply, water ecology and water environment protection, and better coordinate the relationship between upstream and downstream, left and right banks, rivers and lakes in the basin.
Protect water resources and protect everyone's water source.
