On the 2nd, I learned from the Ministry of Water Resources that the "Pearl River Basin Reservoir Group Joint Operation Plan for Flood Season in 2023" has recently been approved by the Ministry of Water Resources. This is the first time that the Ministry of Water Resources has approved the joint operation plan of the Pearl River Basin reservoir group, which will provide important guidance for scientifically carrying out the unified operation of the Pearl River Basin in accordance with laws and regulations.
The joint operation plan includes 27 reservoirs in the Xijiang, Beijiang, and Dongjiang rivers into the joint operation scope of the 2023 flood season, and formulated a joint operation plan for the main and tributary reservoirs in the river basin. For the reservoirs included in the scope of joint dispatching, the flood control tasks, flood control limit water levels during flood seasons, and joint dispatching and operation plans shall be clarified one by one.
The joint dispatching of reservoirs in the Pearl River Basin during the flood season is of great significance to ensure the safety of flood control in the Pearl River Basin and to effectively exert the benefits of water supply, ecology, power generation, and shipping.
The relevant person in charge of the Pearl River Water Conservancy Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources stated that they will strictly follow the joint dispatching and operation plan, strengthen the regulation of river basin dispatching, scientifically implement the unified dispatching of water conservancy projects in the river basin, give full play to the comprehensive benefits of the flood control engineering system, and ensure the safety of the Pearl River.
