The South-to-North Water Transfer Project of our province has accomplished more than half of the provincial tasks of water diversion in 2018-2019.

      According to the website of the Provincial Water Resources Department, as of 8:00 a.m. on March 12, the annual amount of water diverted from the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in our province to Luoma Lake reached 430 million square meters, which indicates that the task of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in 2018-2019 has been completed more than half of the provincial task.

      According to the annual water dispatching plan of the Ministry of Water Resources, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project of Shandong Province supplied 844 million cubic meters of water to Shandong Province in 2018-2019. From December 25, 2018 to January 24, 2019, six cascade 7 pumping stations, including Baoying, Jinhu, Hongze, Sihong, Shaji, Suining and Pizhou stations, successfully completed the first stage of operation of water supply to Shandong Province. The second stage of water diversion started on February 20, 2019, and three cascaded four pumping stations, Sihong Station, Suining Station II, Shaji Station and Pizhou Station, were put into operation. In order to complete the task of water diversion on time, high quality and high efficiency, we should make full use of the abundant water diversion from the Huaihe River in the early stage from the time dimension, make full use of the capacity of Luoma Lake in the spatial dimension, change "space" for "time", complete the task of water diversion in the province before the end of May, and minimize the impact of water diversion from the province to the north of Jiangsu Province.

      Up to now, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in our province has operated safely and steadily, and the water quality has reached the standard. In the next stage, we will continue to strengthen dispatching management, strengthen communication and coordination, strengthen dynamic management and control, and strengthen emergency management, so as to achieve the annual water diversion target task issued by the state satisfactorily and quickly.
