Cracked farmland, bare riverbeds, dry reservoirs... In the severe drought that has not been encountered for decades, since the beginning of June, we have been walking with high temperatures, "roasting" the drinking water and industrial and agricultural production of people and livestock in Yanzhi, and even more testing the nearly 200,000 cadres and masses in Shandan.
From January to August this year, the temperature in Shandan County was generally high, with precipitation of 96.3mm, 37% less than the same period in the past 30 years, the already arid and water-scarce river water in Shandan County was sharply reduced, the reservoir water storage was seriously insufficient, 17 small and medium-sized reservoirs were on the verge of drying up, domestic water was in full emergency, production water was seriously short, industrial enterprises were insufficiently guaranteed, and ecological water was struggling. The daily supply of domestic water for urban residents has decreased from 19,700 cubic meters to 14,000 cubic meters, and 2,670 households in 12 residential communities cannot supply water normally; the total water storage of 9 people's drinking water source reservoirs, including Sigou Reservoir, which supplies water to rural residents, decreased by 56.59% year-on-year, and 19,300 people in 40 villages in 7 townships and towns have difficulty in ensuring domestic water; 147,000 mu of crops in the county are facing reduced yields due to drought, 186,000 mu of ecological forests and shelter forests have no irrigation water sources, and the survival rate and preservation rate of seedlings have decreased. A large area of grassland in the county has not turned green, and the degree of grassland degradation has worsened...
Party-member cadres took the lead in sinking the front line of drought fighting
In the face of the severe drought "baking" experience, the county party committee and the county government did not wait to rely on it, took the initiative to find ways to solve the drought situation through multiple channels, angles and levels, and strived to tide over the difficulties with the fastest speed and the shortest time; The cadres and masses work together, think in one place, work hard in one place, and jointly demonstrate the spirit of the new era of unity and overcoming difficulties.
"Prevention" can strive for the initiative for "resistance", whether in the accumulation of water resources or the preparation of drought control measures, facing up to this year's drought, Shandan put a "early" word in front. After the drought occurred, the county party committee and the county government attached great importance to it, and set up a leading group for drought relief work, and the main leaders of the county party committee and the county government went to the drought-affected areas for many times to inspect and guide the drought control work, and investigated and discussed the situation of ensuring supply. Relevant county-level leaders have also contacted townships and towns to supervise drought control work. At the same time, we will coordinate with higher levels and relevant departments in a timely manner to raise funds and materials for drought fighting. On July 19, the county's drought defense level IV emergency response was launched, and on August 5, the drought defense emergency response was upgraded to level III., clarifying the drought control work objectives, measures, responsibilities and work requirements. The implementation of overall coordination, timely scheduling, supervision and inspection, etc., special personnel and special shifts operate the information monitoring system at all times, regularly monitor the water flow of rivers, "carpet" to register the drought situation, accurately analyze and judge, strengthen overall scheduling, and let the responsibility be implemented at all levels on the front line of drought control.
Scientific dispatch of water sources to ensure drinking water at the first time
Drought resistance is imminent, and there is no delay. Live first and then produce, save water before water, first surface and then underground, to maximize the protection of people's drinking. Laojunxiang is a township that has been heavily affected by the drought, and the reservoir has a serious shortage of water, and drinking water for people and livestock is in full emergency. In response to the water shortage crisis, the Laojunxiang Water Irrigation Institute immediately built a 300-ton pond in Panzhuang Village, and used the village machine well as a backup water source to alleviate the urgent need. At the same time, organize water delivery trucks, timely carry out water delivery door-to-door services, and guide the masses to do a good job in replenishing water, and effectively solve the problem of water for the people's daily life.
Under the drought situation, Shandan County puts the safety of water supply for urban and rural residents in the first place, strengthens the unified management and scientific dispatch of water resources, and promptly adopts methods such as water diversion, alternative water sources, and emergency water delivery to ensure that the masses use water, so that every drop of water can be used to accurately combat drought. All levels and departments have also increased the investment in drought-fighting emergency materials, equipment, funds and teams, and worked hard to open up water sources through emergency water transfer, emergency water delivery, excavation of water sources, pooling wisdom and efforts, and coordinating and linking forces to fight drought. At present, irrigation of some farmland in six townships has been suspended, and 11 villages in Dongle Township, Weiqi Township and Liqiao Township have been provided with water supply in rotation at different times in different villages, and 31 temporary water supply points have been set up in 29 villages in 5 townships, including Chenhu Township, Huo Township and Laojun Township, to guide the masses to draw water and store water when the water supply pressure is insufficient or the water is cut off. Organized vehicles to deliver water to the village and households 510 times, and used 7 spare machine wells to ensure drinking water for urban and rural residents. At the same time, our county invested 12.42 million yuan, built 11 new emergency backup water source wells, updated and repaired 109 wells, adopted timed quantitative and segmented water supply measures, strengthened commercial water management, reduced water supply in high-water-consuming industries, comprehensively implemented tiered water prices, paid attention to the cultivation of water-saving enterprises, water-saving agricultural promotion, waste sewage recycling, strengthened the supervision and inspection of water administration law enforcement, issued a national water-saving initiative, advocated full participation, water conservation for the whole people, and resolutely put an end to the phenomena of running, running, dripping and leakage.
Various measures should be taken simultaneously to combat the "drought devil" and "drought mouth" to seize grain and reduce losses
This summer, in the villages and fields of Shandan Village, there is no year as hungry for rain as this year! Water became the most called voice this summer. Continuous dry weather in Damaying Town, Shandan County, caused drought, affecting 2,870 people from 741 households in 15 villages, and reducing the yield of 24,800 mu of crops such as rapeseed, potatoes, astragalus and pasture.
"In previous years, at this time, oatgrass had grown to half a person's height and was waiting for a good harvest. It doesn't rain this year, and it's so dry, we croppers can make a fuss. In the past few days, Zhang Xuezhi, a farmer in Maying Village, Daying Town, Shandan County, looked at the oat grass that was inches tall, and his brows furrowed again.
"Where the drought is, we are there, and wherever the masses need help, we go," said Zhang Lianrui, an agricultural technician. In the face of the scorching sun, agricultural crops such as wheat, potatoes and Chinese medicinal materials have suffered varying degrees of drought. The county Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs promptly issued technical guidelines for drought resistance and disaster relief in the agricultural industry, and solidly carried out the activity of "100 cadres going to the fields to prevent drought and fight drought and ensure a bumper harvest".
Accelerate the promotion of seven projects, including the urban and rural drinking water emergency connection project, the enterprise drinking water storage and water supply project, the groundwater replacement and emergency water intake project, and the public welfare forest water supply project, and try our best to ensure agricultural irrigation and enterprise production water.
In the past few days, Shandan County has continued to strengthen publicity and raise the public's awareness of water conservation. Make full use of radio, television, websites and other media to strengthen publicity and establish the awareness of water conservation among the whole people. Promote the paid use of water resources, and when necessary, methods such as time-limited, peak-shifting, time-sharing, and segmented water supply may be adopted. At the same time, we will continue to make preparations for drought fighting, plan to use at least 56 emergency reserve wells within this year, and ensure urban and rural domestic water by accelerating the use of urban and rural drinking water emergency connection projects, new emergency backup water source wells and other measures, strengthen coordination, and transfer water scientifically and rationally. Actively organize and guide villagers with labor to carry out production self-help, and continue to use fire trucks, sprinkler trucks and other water delivery methods to solve problems in villages with serious water shortages and farmers without labor. At present, the whole county is actively responding, making preparations to fight against major droughts and long droughts, making concerted efforts to find water sources, and uniting as one to fight drought.
