At present, it is the time of spring plowing and preparation, and it is also the peak period of spring irrigation water, Jiangchuan District actively explores the organic combination of high-standard farmland construction projects and high-efficiency water-saving projects, and builds a high-efficiency water-saving irrigation water network for agricultural production like a power grid, and the "water" power is fully opened, providing a solid water conservancy guarantee for this year's agricultural harvest and farmers' income.
Walking into the Cuifeng Village Committee of Jiangcheng Town, the fields on both sides of the road are equipped with high-efficiency water-saving smart card meters every 100 meters or so. With the precise delivery and irrigation of each crop from the high-efficiency water-saving smart card to the surface of the high-efficiency water-saving smart card, the spring plowing and irrigation work in the irrigation area of Chaershan Reservoir officially kicked off.
"In the past, the water flowed down from the reservoir, passed through many ditches, and then flowed into the fields of each household, which was a long distance and a lot of waste, and everything that should not be watered was watered. Under the scorching sun, villager Yang Dongliang and more than 30 workers were busy transplanting tobacco seedlings. He said that the 115 acres of land transferred by his family belong to the Chaershan Reservoir Irrigation Area, which is located in the downstream of the Chaershan Reservoir in Jiangcheng Town, the dam area north of the Chengchuan Line, and is mainly planted with flue-cured tobacco, vegetables and flowers all year round. This year, the town implemented high-efficiency water-saving irrigation on a large scale for the first time, and his tobacco fields were about to stop being "thirsty", and Yang Dongliang was reassured.
"It used to be 0.75 yuan per cubic meter of water, but it required a lot of water and wasted. Now the price of water is slightly higher, 1.05 yuan per cubic meter, which is more water-saving and more cost-effective, and it is very clear how much water is used each time. Yang Dongliang calculated an account, he said happily, in previous years, it took about 15 days for his family to transplant flue-cured tobacco, but now it is expected that it will not take 10 days to transplant, and all costs have been reduced.
"Because of the convenience of water now, drip irrigation facilities can be installed, and the water can be dripped slowly, saving effort and water. Uncle Zhuang, who lives in the Zhaoyi villager group, is also full of praise for the efficient water-saving irrigation facilities.
With the east wind of water network grid construction, many large planters have also installed water and fertilizer integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation facilities in the field, which only need to use an IC card to swipe lightly and then press the remote control, and the strong water flow can be sprinkled to the crops.
"Each pipeline has an independent switch to control the water, which can basically be automated, and the 'open ditch flood irrigation' has become 'precise drip irrigation', which greatly reduces the infiltration and evaporation loss of water resources, and the irrigation quality is higher. Yuxi Chenchun vegetable planting farm is located in the fourth resident group of Jiangcheng community, the person in charge Qian Zhong said, the base has a total area of 326 acres, of which 180 acres of vegetable base installed sprinkler irrigation facilities, 146 acres of flower base installed drip irrigation facilities under the film, the use of water and fertilizer integration, the base can save tens of thousands of yuan in labor and fertilizer input every year. Relying on the construction of high-standard farmland and high-efficiency water-saving projects, Qian Zhong has experienced the benefits brought by high-efficiency water-saving irrigation, and he is more motivated.
In recent years, Jiangcheng Town has continuously strengthened the construction of water conservancy infrastructure, improved the optimal allocation of water resources and the ability to prevent flood and drought disasters. More than 12 million yuan has been invested in high-efficiency water-saving irrigation projects such as high-efficiency water-saving irrigation projects in Chaershan Reservoir Irrigation Area and high-standard farmland construction projects in Huangying Area, and the construction of main pipelines has been completed, with a total length of 6,230.15 meters of pipes installed, 7,539 meters of buried pipelines, and 110 sets of special water meters for multi-meter irrigation with one card have been installed, so as to further improve the end project of high-efficiency water-saving projects, and adopt the method of "card payment, card swiping, accurate metering, and intelligent management" to take water and use water, and uniformly dispatch water resources. Up to now, the project has been handed over to Yuxi Qifeng Agricultural Service Co., Ltd., a village office company of Cuifeng Village Committee, for unified operation and management.
"So far, 146 households have applied for IC cards. Li Zishuang, deputy secretary of the general party branch of Cuifeng Village, said that the collection of irrigation water fees is the guarantee of the maintenance level of the irrigation system, and it is also the key to the benign operation of the irrigation project.
According to statistics, since the water network of the Chaershan Reservoir irrigation area was put into operation at the end of 2023, the efficient water-saving irrigation in the irrigation area has benefited more than 14,000 mu, with an estimated annual water saving of 450,000 cubic meters, an average water saving of 98.1 cubic meters per mu, and an irrigation water utilization coefficient increased from 0.6 to 0.9, benefiting more than 30,000 people, including 15 natural villages (communities) in 4 villages (communities) of Cuifeng, Yinqi, Dadi and Jiangcheng.
