The water saving project in the Cijiang Irrigation Region was recently completed. This project now has raised the flood relief capacity from a 5-10 year return period to a 20 year return period, with the irrigation rate raised from 70% to 85%.
To solve the problems found in the typhoons in the past years, the district last year allocated 12 million yuan to danger removal and consolidation of the Yingxiong Reservoir and other water conservancy facilities. This year, the district will allocate 48 million yuan for the consolidation of Sunhu Lake, the renovation of a section of the Cijiang River. In addition, the second phase project of the Yaojiang River so far has completed 80% of the total, and it will be completed in August this year.
