On September 8th, the County Party Secretary conducted an on-site inspection of the Dayakou Reservoir, reviewing daily maintenance protocols, safety operations, flood preparedness, and the comprehensive utilization of water resources. In light of the severe conditions potentially triggered by El Ni帽o, which could lead to extreme weather and possible drought later in the season, directives were issued regarding water resource allocation, urban water supply assurance, and reservoir management to firmly secure the county's water safety line.
During the visit, the Secretary reviewed reports on reservoir management, inspected the dam structure, spillway, water conveyance facilities, and monitoring equipment, and gained a detailed understanding of storage scheduling, patrol duties, and the implementation of flood control plans. Immediate corrective actions were specified to address weaknesses in water supply assurance, reservoir upkeep, hazard detection, and emergency response protocols.
The Secretary emphasized that reservoirs are vital infrastructure for flood mitigation, water distribution, public water supply, and ecological protection, directly impacting the safety of lives and property as well as high-quality economic development. Proper routine maintenance and safe operation are of utmost importance.
All relevant county departments were urged to adopt a strong risk-awareness mindset, scientifically evaluate the potential for extreme weather from El Ni帽o, and closely monitor climate trends. Greater priority must be given to reservoir safety and coordinated water supply, with clear responsibilities and detailed measures to ensure meticulous management.
The Secretary stressed the need for consistent patrol and maintenance, improving routine inspection mechanisms, and conducting comprehensive hazard assessments focused on the dam, flood release structures, and monitoring systems. Hidden dangers must be logged, rectified within set deadlines, and managed to prevent risks effectively. Scheduling operations should be optimized through precise forecasting of rainfall and water levels, with thorough anticipation of drought risks, and strict adherence to standardized procedures to balance flood control with water conservation.
Forward planning for urban water supply was also highlighted, including stricter control of reservoir discharge, enhanced water-saving practices, and addressing supply gaps. Contingency plans for drought response must be finalized to strengthen reserve capacity and maximize the reservoir's overall benefits. Continuous improvement in the standardization, refinement, and smart management of reservoirs is essential to upholding the safety baseline, providing solid water security for the county's economic growth and the well-being of its residents.
