Summary of contents: In 2011, RMB 20.54 billion was earmarked for the construction of supporting facilities and water-saving reforms for large and medium-sized irrigation districts, large-scale irrigation and drainage pumping stations, small-scale irrigation and water conservancy projects, and large-scale water-saving and efficiency demonstration projects. The special subsidy funds for construction of water conservancy facilities was 12.6 billion yuan, an increase of 61.5% over the previous year.

The construction of agricultural and water resources accelerated. The construction of irrigation and water conservancy facilities throughout the country was vigorously promoted, and the development of water-saving irrigation was vigorously promoted. This played an important role in the “eight-fold increase” of grain production in China and the “eight consecutive years” increase in farmers' income.

Recently, the reporter learned from the Ministry of Water Resources that this year China's farmland water conservancy construction has accelerated. Local governments have been pursuing large-scale construction of farmland water conservancy, vigorously developing water-saving irrigation, strengthening management, and innovating mechanisms to continuously improve comprehensive agricultural production capacity, disaster-resilient and disaster-relief capabilities, and efficiency in the use of land and water resources. This will provide eight consecutive years of increase in grain production in China and increase farmers' income. "It played an important role.

Funding support was significantly increased. In 2011, RMB 20.54 billion was invested in the implementation of central and large-scale irrigation areas, including the construction of supporting and water-saving transformations, the renovation and renovation of large-scale irrigation and drainage pumping stations, small-scale irrigation and water conservancy projects, and large-scale water-saving efficiency demonstration projects. The special subsidy funds for the construction of fiscal small-scale farmland water conservancy facilities was 12.6 billion yuan, an increase of 61.5% over the previous year. In some places, water conservancy investment companies are used as platforms to effectively solve the problem of supporting funds for farmland and water conservancy projects through fiscal discounts, bank bond financing, and investment promotion. In addition, positive progress has been made in the implementation of relevant policies. All localities initially implemented a policy of accruing 10% of the land transfer proceeds for irrigation and water conservancy construction, and partially achieved provincial overall planning.

The comprehensive management of farmland in the irrigation area has a total investment of 7.04 billion yuan, which is used for water-saving reconstruction of 253 large-scale irrigation areas, 74 key medium-sized irrigation areas and a large number of large-scale irrigation and drainage pumping stations. At the same time, funds for small-scale Irrigation and Water Conservancy Major Counties will be given priority, large-scale water-saving irrigation and efficiency demonstration projects will be implemented, as well as implementation of the “One-on-one discussion” financial awards, civilian office assistance, and subsidies for the purchase of water-saving irrigation equipment, financial discounts for water-saving irrigation, etc. Policy, the country is expected to increase water-saving irrigation area of ​​20 million mu, of which more than 10 million mu of efficient water-saving irrigation area. In addition, the coverage of small-scale irrigation and water conservancy key counties has further expanded. The construction of farmland and water conservancy projects in winter and spring also set off another upsurge. According to the spirit of the State Council’s video-phone conference for the construction of farmland and water conservancy projects in winter and spring this year, the nationwide farmland water conservancy infrastructure plan for the winter and spring will be 258.4 billion yuan, 3.59 billion working days, and 9.8 billion cubic meters of earth and stone. Governments at all levels attach great importance to the construction of farmland water conservancy and strengthen the responsibilities of governments, departments, and parties involved in the construction of farmland water conservancy projects. The relevant departments formulate and improve the management methods and relevant technical standards for the construction of various types of key projects in rural water conservancy, and strengthen supervision according to law. Through inspections, audits, “flight” inspections, and key inspections, spot checks, and cross-checks at different locations, the entire process of supervision and inspection of the key links and important parts of the construction of irrigation and water conservancy projects will be strengthened to promptly identify and correct problems. Through the implementation of the results of the annual construction task performance appraisal, linked with the new projects and arrangements for funding rewards and punishments to ensure "four security." The basic expenditures and maintenance funds for public welfare water management units such as irrigation areas and pump stations were further implemented, and the management system reform of small-scale farmland water conservancy projects continued to advance.

The protection function has been gradually strengthened This year, the Ministry of Water Resources revised and improved the “12th Five-Year Plan” related to the development of farmland water conservancy, basically completed the preparation, approval and summarization of county-level water conservancy construction plans at the county level, and initiated the preparation of the national general planning for farmland water conservancy. International academic exchanges and bilateral multilateral pragmatic cooperation have made significant breakthroughs. China’s water conservancy experts have been elected president of the International Irrigation and Drainage Commission.

All localities and relevant departments fully implemented the No. 1 document of the Central Committee and the spirit of the Central Water Conservancy Work Conference, vigorously strengthened the construction of key weak links such as farmland water conservancy, and focused on consolidating the basis for agricultural development, greatly improving the ability of agricultural disaster prevention and reduction and comprehensive production capacity for this year. China has played an important support and basic guarantee role in the “eight-fold increase” in grain production and the “eight-fast increase” in peasants' income growth under the influence of many disasters and many unfavorable factors.
