The Yangtze River basin is the mainland
Where is the center of gravity and vitality of the economy
In the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization
It has an important strategic position
Ensure the safety of the Yangtze River
It has always been a "big thing" in the Yangtze River basin
On the morning of April 23, the 2024 video conference of the commander of the Yangtze River Defense General was held, how is the flood prevention and drought control work in the Yangtze River basin in 2023? What is the situation in 2024? What should I do next?
How is the flood prevention and drought relief work in the Yangtze River basin in 2023?
The Yangtze River Commission has issued more than 900 flood (drought) circulars and rainwater forecasts, activated the four-level emergency response for flood control 9 times, and successfully coped with the super-historical floods in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and the autumn flood of the Hanjiang River.
Chongqing carried out 5,338 pre-flood combat drills on a regular basis;
Hunan has investigated and rectified more than 1,400 risks and hidden dangers through pre-flood inspections;
Guizhou has organized the revision and improvement of more than 10,000 various plans;
Anhui has provided business training to 12,000 people responsible for flood and drought disaster prevention;
Shaanxi and Hubei joint dispatch and encrypted inspections successfully defended the Han River from two numbered floods;
Jiangxi successfully dealt with the danger of overflow and breach of Qingfeng embankment;
Jiangsu and Shanghai responded in a timely manner and made careful arrangements to successfully resist the invasion of Typhoon "Dusuri";
Yunnan has taken multiple measures to cope with the worst drought since meteorological records began;
Sichuan has deepened the joint commissioning of electricity and water to effectively guarantee the power demand of major events such as the Chengdu Universiade and the peak summer.

What is the situation in 2024?
This year, flood control and drought control in the Yangtze River basin are facing severe tests:
First, the precipitation is more, more than 2 percent near the middle and lower reaches of the main stream, and 5-8 percent more locally, and the overall waterlogging is heavier than drought;
Second, large floods may occur in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the main flood season, and the risk of local severe floods and flash floods is great;
Third, there may be periodic drought in some areas of the middle reaches of the Jinsha River.

What's next?
Ensuring the safety of the Yangtze River has always been a "big thing" in the Yangtze River Basin. According to the forecast, the climate in the Yangtze River basin will be generally different this year, and the situation of flood prevention and drought control will be complex and severe. It is necessary to uphold the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life, strengthen the awareness of the overall situation, limit thinking, and problem-orientation, base ourselves on the prevention of major floods, the fight against major droughts, the prevention of major dangers, and the relief of major disasters, and earnestly respond to the possibility with all possible measures, and resolutely shoulder the major political responsibility of flood prevention and drought control in the Yangtze River Basin.
At present, the Yangtze River valley has been fully flooded, and it is necessary to persist in giving priority to prevention, move the pass forward, and take precautions to play a good "first move" in flood prevention and preparation. It is necessary to accurately and meticulously implement the "four precautions" measures, and strive to improve the accuracy of prediction and early warning, the scientificity of the pre-plan, and the pertinence of the rehearsal; carry out in-depth investigation and rectification of hidden dangers to ensure that the clearance is bottomed out; make overall plans and linkages to do a good job in project scheduling, coordinate upstream and downstream, main and tributary streams, and jointly debug reservoirs, pumps, gates, and stations, so as to effectively stop peaks and cut peaks and stagger peaks; strengthen the foundation and make up for shortcomings, speed up the repair and reinforcement of disease-risk projects and the construction of key water conservancy projects, and firmly grasp the initiative in flood prevention and drought control.
It is necessary to highlight key points, take comprehensive measures, and firmly guard the safety of projects and the risk of dam bursts; guard the safety of cities and the risk of heavy rain and waterlogging; guard the safety of production and the risk of extreme weather; guard the safety of mountainous areas and the risk of geological disasters; guard the safety of water supply and the risk of sudden changes in drought and flood, so as to reduce disaster losses to the greatest extent. It is necessary to organize and respond quickly, improve the command and decision-making mechanism, implement the system of "calling and responding" to disasters, and improve the efficiency of emergency response; prepare sufficient disaster relief materials, pre-set rescue equipment, strengthen the empowerment of science and technology, and enhance emergency support capabilities; strengthen the building of disaster relief teams and enhance the ability of emergency rescue and rescue; strengthen publicity and education on disaster prevention and risk avoidance, and enhance the people's awareness of safety and self-rescue ability.
All localities in the basin should fulfill their duties, tighten the chain of responsibility, joint prevention and control, build a strong line of defense for work, strictly enforce discipline, strengthen work style guarantees, and earnestly transform the sense of responsibility of "always rest assured" into the action force of "everything is in mind", and do a solid job in the implementation of various tasks of flood prevention and drought control, so as to ensure the peace and security of the Yangtze River, social tranquility, and people's well-being, and make greater contributions to promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
