Main measures to regulate the Yangtze River

Main measures to control flood disasters in the Yangtze River Basin:

1. Build large reservoirs such as the Three Gorges Reservoir to intercept floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River during the rainy season.

2. Return farmland to lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, dredge rivers, improve the ability of lakes to regulate floods, and improve the ability of rivers to discharge floods.

3. Build protective forests in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, convert farmland into forests, reduce soil erosion and reduce sediment flow into the Yangtze River.

4. Cut the bends in the Jingjiang River section and straighten them, strengthen the embankments in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and establish flood diversion and flood storage areas.

The Yangtze River originates from the roof of the world, and its tributaries run north and south, flowing endlessly and merging into the East China Sea from west to east. As the mother river of the Chinese nation, it not only nourishes China’s vast land, but also nurtures the long and splendid Chinese civilization. "We must focus on large-scale protection and not engage in large-scale development." Curing the "Yangtze River disease" is related to future generations and the future of the nation. In recent years, the ecological environment protection of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has been intensified. The Yangtze River Protection Law voted and passed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on December 26, 2020 has added a strong guarantee for the protection of the Yangtze River.

With the continuous improvement of the water quality of the Yangtze River as the center, we have coordinated and promoted the "three water first treatment" of water pollution control, water ecological restoration, and water resources protection, and have successively organized and carried out illegal docks and illegal sand mining rectification, along the river A series of special actions such as chemical pollution control, drinking water source safety inspection, river sewage outlet rectification and improvement, solid waste inspection, Yangtze River mainstream coastline protection and utilization, etc., pay close attention to the 163 ecological ecological environment warning films disclosed in the Yangtze River Economic Belt Prominent environmental problems have been rectified, a number of "old and difficult" problems have been solved, and the ecological and environmental quality of the Yangtze River has been continuously improved.

Focus on golden waterways and promote the construction of comprehensive three-dimensional transportation corridors

The Yangtze River is known as the "golden waterway" and is the inland river with the largest transportation volume in the world. In recent years, we have taken multiple measures and adopted a multi-pronged approach to actively promote the coordinated development of water transportation, railways, highways and aviation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, strive to promote the organic connection of various modes of transportation, and vigorously promote transportation interconnection with other regions. The Yangtze River Economic Belt The advantages and benefits of modern comprehensive three-dimensional transportation are beginning to appear.

Use innovation as a breakthrough to promote high-quality economic development

Building the Yangtze River Economic Belt into a high-quality development economic belt is not only a requirement of the central government, but also an inevitable choice for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. By focusing on strengthening the innovation-driven transformation and upgrading of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and continuously cultivating new drivers of economic development and new advantages in opening up, the Yangtze River Economic Belt is becoming an important engine of China's economy in the new era, playing a strategic support and demonstration and leadership role.
