The three-year action plan of Ningbo Water Management successfully came to an end with the completion of the 9-billion-yuan investment plan in water conservatory beforehand. The actual investment has added up to 15.68 billion yuan, 15 billion more than the planed. Fifty-three major projects have been carried out, of which 42 completed and 11 under way.
Ningbo has basically completed the key construction projects of the three-year water action plan. Among others, the construction of flood embankments of the mainstreams and branches of Yaojiang River, Fenghuajiang River and Yongjiang River have been basically completed in the Yongjiang River Flood Control Project; drainage channels in basins like Xiaoxiajiang River and Yanshangan River have been fully built; emergency drainage pump stations constructed have added up to 8 with a drainage capacity of 320 cubic meters per second; the rehabilitation of 67 water reservoirs has been completed and curative measures have been taken to deal with 1,070 hilly ponds; the river desilting project cleaned out 750,000 cubic meters of sludge of Yaojiang River, Fenghuajiang River and Yongjiang River, lowering the river bed elevation by 1.5 meter on average and increasing the cross-section by 28.8%.
The water project was brought into its full play when Typhoon Meranti attacked Yongjiang River Basin in 2016. The new constructions including Sanjiang Embankment and emergency drainage pump stations played an important role in flood control and management with a maxim flow rate of 793 cubic meters per second. The project greatly boosted the efficiency of the flood control and disaster relief.
On the basis of the provincial “five water treatment” and ”hundred flood control and drainage projects funded with hundreds of billions of yuan” strategies, Ningbo will launch Flood Prevention and Management Plan in 2017, planning to carry out 20 key water conservatory projects during the 13th Five-Year Plan period with a investment plan of more than 25 billion yuan to further enhance the structure of flood control and management. The investment plan for 2017 alone is 6 billion yuan
