Recently, the Ministry of Water Resources carried out the selection of 12314 whistleblower rewards in the first half of 2021, and 22 whistleblowers received 2,000 yuan or 200 yuan bonuses respectively. This is the second time since the launch of the 12314 supervision and reporting service platform in 2020 that the Ministry of Water Resources has carried out the reward selection for whistleblowing.
At the beginning of 2021, a member of the public reported to the Ministry of Water Resources's 12314 supervision and reporting service platform that a company had illegally drilled wells without a license. After verification, the reported problem is true. The water conservancy department organized a comprehensive inspection of the relevant local water source wells, and further strengthened the management of water withdrawal permits and the supervision of water source wells. The report provided an important clue to strengthen the protection of water resources, and was awarded the second prize in this selection, and the Ministry of Water Resources issued a bonus of 2,000 yuan to the whistleblower. After receiving the reward for reporting, the public said that they would continue to pay attention to and report the water-related problems around them.
According to the Interim Measures for Reporting Rewards on the 12314 Supervision and Reporting Service Platform of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources carries out the selection of rewards for reporting every six months. Whistleblowers who provide clues about important water-related issues can receive up to 10,000 yuan in prize money after selection. The public can report clues to the Ministry of Water Resources through the 12314 hotline, the "China Water Conservancy" WeChat public account or the website of the Ministry of Water Resources. The Ministry of Water Resources will keep the information reported strictly confidential and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of whistleblowers.
