According to the Ministry of Water Resources, from August 3 to 4, Li Guoying, Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, visited Beijing and Tianjin to investigate safe flood relief in reservoirs and the management of small and medium-sized rivers. Li Guoying stressed that it is necessary to establish a systematic concept, use watersheds as units, coordinate upstream and downstream, left and right banks, and tributaries, coordinate reservoirs and rivers, strengthen the management of small and medium-sized river systems, and improve the watershed flood control engineering system, rain monitoring and forecasting system, and flood and drought disaster prevention work system in an integrated manner. It is necessary to strengthen shoreline space control in rivers, lakes and reservoirs, strictly prevent encroachment on river flooding space, and ensure smooth river flooding. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of digital twin watersheds, strengthen forecasting, early warning and preview planning functions, and provide forward-looking, scientific, accurate, and safe decision-making support for reservoir scheduling, embankment defense, use of flood storage and stagnation areas, and personnel transfers.
