According to news from the website of the Ministry of Water Resources on the 3rd, due to the impact of heavy rainfall since July 28, 21 rivers in the five major water systems of the Haihe River Basin, the Beisan River, the Yongding River, the Daqing River, the Ziya River, and the Zhangwei South Canal, experienced floods above the warning level.Among them, 6 rivers exceeded the protection, and 8 rivers experienced the largest flood since the actual measurement data were available.. After preliminary analysis, the Yongding River, the Daqing River and the Ziya River all experienced large or greater floods, of which the Daqing River and the Ziya River experienced major floods.It is preliminarily determined that a basin-wide flood occurred in the Haihe River

According to the Hebei News Network, from August 1 to 2, Ni Yuefeng, secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress, inspected flood prevention and rescue work in Baoding City and Xiong’an New District. He emphasized that we should keep an eye on the key parts of flood control, implement various flood control measures, and effectively build a security line of defense to ensure the stability of the overall social situation. It is necessary to strengthen communication with the National Defense Headquarters, and in accordance with relevant work requirements,Orderly activate the flood storage and detention areas, reduce the pressure on Beijing’s flood control, and resolutely serve as the “moat” of the capital

According to Xinhua News Agency, as of 10:00 on August 3,A total of 1.229 million people were transferred in Hebei Province, of which 857,200 people were transferred from flood storage and detention areas. At present, Hebei Province has dispatched more than 4,700 rescue teams, with more than 100,000 people, and more than 2,200 working groups have been dispatched to areas of heavy rainfall to guide relevant cities and counties in orderly response to heavy rainfall.

The relevant person in charge of the Hebei Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters Office said that the current round of rainfall has not yet completely ended, there may still be heavy rainfall locally, the discharge of reservoirs is still at a high level, and flood drainage and flood detention are still continuing. Hebei will continue to work hard to minimize losses. drop to lowest.

Hebei ProvinceSecretary of the Party Committee: Orderly enable flood storage and detention areas

To reduce the pressure on Beijing’s flood control,Resolutely serve as the “moat” of the capital

Since July 29, affected by typhoon “Dusuri”, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has continued to receive heavy rainfall. Baoding City is adjacent to Beijing and Xiong’an New Area, so the task of flood control is arduous and arduous.

Ni Yuefeng, secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress, inspected the flood prevention and rescue work on the front line of flood control.According to Hebei Satellite TV

Ni Yuefeng went to the Longmen Reservoir in Mancheng District and the flood storage and detention area of ​​Xiaoqing River in Zhuozhou City successively to inspect the operation of the flood discharge and flood storage and detention areas of the reservoirs. Ni Yuefeng emphasized that it is necessary to dynamically adjust the flood discharge flow of the reservoir according to weather changes and upstream water inflows, so as to play the role of flood blocking, peak shifting, and peak cutting. It is necessary to strengthen the inspection of reservoir dams and flood channels, comprehensively resolve risks, and ensure the safety of surrounding areas. It is necessary to strengthen communication with the National Defense Headquarters, and in accordance with relevant work requirements,Orderly activate the flood storage and detention areas, reduce the pressure on Beijing’s flood control, and resolutely serve as the “moat” of the capital

Days of heavy rainfall made the Baigou River a vast ocean. More than 500 army officers and soldiers, militia reservists, etc. are busy on the embankment, strengthening the embankment, and preparing for the upcoming new round of flood peaks. Ni Yuefeng expressed his cordial condolences and sincere thanks to everyone.

Ni Yuefeng went to Xingaifang Water Conservancy Project in Xiong’an New District, Juhong Canal, South Juma River Right Embankment, Rongxi Area and other places to check the flood control and waterlogging situation. Ni Yuefeng emphasized that judging from the current situation, during this round of heavy rainfall, the Xiong’an New Area has not experienced any dangers such as waterlogging, and has withstood the test, but it cannot be taken lightly. It is necessary to effectively respond to this round of heavy rainfall, inspect the quality of various projects in the Xiongan New Area, check for leaks and fill gaps in a timely manner, and improve the level, so as to truly make “Xiongan Quality” a gold-lettered signboard.

What is a flood storage and detention area?

why to enableFlood storage and detention areas?

Like the often-heard reservoirs, rivers, and embankments, flood storage and detention areas are also an important part of the flood control engineering system.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Water Resources, “Use dikes and river channels to release floods, and use reservoirs to store floods. If the floods cannot be controlled, flood storage and detention areas will be used in due course to store excess floods, reduce flood peaks, and minimize the overall loss of flood disasters.。”

“Storage excess flood” is the key word. The occurrence of floods has always been random. Reservoirs and embankments are used to prevent floods within the flood control standards, while flood storage and detention areas are used to deal with excess water.

Extreme weather has become less uncommon in recent years. Faced with this situation, should we build the city to be impenetrable, or choose to do it with ease? Considering the cost issue, Wei Ke, deputy director and associate researcher of the Monsoon System Research Center of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes the latter.

He mentioned in the second issue of “Everyone’s Urban Open Class” on the theory of urban evolution, “I don’t think we need to let a city withstand floods, rainstorms, and droughts that occur once in 100,000 years, and we don’t need to repair them to cope with once-in-10,000 years.” The extent of the encounter, it is enough to deal with the once-in-a-hundred-year encounter.” As for the part that exceeds the design capability and cannot be carried by the city, “Redundant areas need to be designed so that the flooded areas can be flooded and designated areas. After the rain, the flooded areas should be cleaned up to reduce the impact on normal life and work.. “In this way, the balance between urban construction cost, comfort and safety is achieved.

The flood storage and detention area is such a “room”. On both sides of the river, some low-lying areas, wetland lakes, etc. are artificially selected, most of which are the places where rivers were flooded and stored in history.When the flood exceeds the standard, the flood storage and detention area will be used to temporarily store water, reduce the flood control pressure of key protected areas, large and medium-sized cities, and important trunk lines, reduce the flood peak flow of the river, and avoid flooding

According to the “Revised List of National Flood Storage and Detention Areas” (2010), there are currently 98 flood storage and detention areas across the country, including 44 in the Yangtze River Basin, 2 in the Yellow River Basin, 28 in the Haihe River Basin, 21 in the Huaihe River Basin, 2 in the Songhua River Basin, and 2 in the Pearl River Basin. Watershed 1.

Among them, there are 6 flood storage and detention areas in the Haihe River Basin dispatched by the National Defense Command, namely the Xiaoqing River flood diversion area, Dongdian, Wen’an Wa, Jiakou Wa, Tuanbo Wa, and Enxian Wa. Dispatch by municipal flood control and drought relief headquarters.

During this torrential rain,The Ministry of Water Resources has activated 7 flood storage and detention areas, and Zhuozhou, Hebei Province involves 2 of them

At 20:00 on July 30, Hebei opened the Daluze and Ningjinbo flood storage and detention areas to the west of the Fuyang River. This is the largest flood storage and detention area in the Haihe River Basin and the third largest in the country. After activation, it can protect the flood control safety of downstream areas such as Tianjin, Beijing-Shanghai Line, Shide Line, and Huabei Oilfield.

At 12 o’clock on July 31, the Xiaoqing River flood diversion area was activated again to discharge and store the flood of the Yongding River and the local river flood of the North Branch of the Daqing River to ensure the safety of flood control in Beijing and other areas.

At 23:00 on July 31, according to the current water conditions of the Beijuma River, Liuli River, and Baigou River, and considering the upstream water situation, Hebei decided to use the Langou Depression Flood Detention Zone to reduce flood control pressure in Xiong’an New Area important task.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Water Resources,News of the opening of flood storage and detention areas such as the Daqing River East Dian flood storage and detention area, the Hutuo River Xianxian flooded area, and the Yongding River flooded area have been released one after anotherEven the Weihe Common Canal West Storage Flood Detention Area under the jurisdiction of Henan Province has also begun to prepare for the transfer of personnel.

From the details of the need to transfer and resettle people, it can be seen that the flood storage and detention area is not an idle area. There are often people living and producing on both sides of the river. Its construction management involves thousands of households and is related to people’s livelihood.

After the “July 19” torrential rain and flood disaster in Hebei in 2016, Zhao Wei, an engineer at the Second Exploration and Design Institute of Hebei Province Water Conservancy and Hydropower, also wrote an article to reflect on the weak links of the local flood control system, one of which was the lagging behind in the safety construction of flood storage and detention areas. Zhao Wei mentioned, “Due to the fact that there has been no flood for many years, the population and economic aggregate of the flood storage and detention areas have continued to increase, while the safety construction and engineering facilities have seriously lagged behind, resulting in difficulty in commissioning and large losses.“. Specifically, in terms of safety construction, life-saving facilities are seriously insufficient, which is a legacy of the “Haihe River Harness”, and the safety of people’s lives and property in flood detention areas is seriously threatened; Inadequate facilities have caused the problem of “small floods and large floods”.

According to CCTV news,Regarding the statement that “Hebei and Tianjin flood discharge is to protect Beijing”Cheng Xiaotao, deputy chief engineer of China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, said, “that’s not a very accurate statement.The use of flood storage and detention areas is considered at the scale of the river basin. Generally speakingThe effectiveness of flood storage and detention areas is downstream, not upstreamTherefore, the application of flood storage and detention areas is aimed at Tianjin. The lower water level in Tianjin does not mean that Beijing will not be flooded. “

Cheng Xiaotao introduced that the flood storage and detention area is not only an important part of the flood control system, but also the home of the people living in the flood storage and detention area. The people in the flood storage and detention areas are also citizens of the People’s Republic of China, and they also have the right to development. It does not mean that they should be sacrificed.

Residents in flood storage and detention areas suffered losseswill be compensated

Housing damage compensation 70%

It is reported that when our country enacted the “Flood Control Law of the People’s Republic of China” in 1997, it was clear that if the country uses the flood storage and detention areas, it will provide compensation. The “Interim Measures for Compensation for Flood Storage and Detention Areas” promulgated in 2000 also has a detailed description of the compensation standards.

According to Article 10 of the “Interim Measures for Compensation for the Use of Flood Storage and Detention Areas”, after the flood storage and detention areas are used, the following losses suffered by residents in the area shall be compensated:

(1) Water damage losses of crops, professional breeding and economic forests;

(2) Losses caused by water damage to houses;

(3) Water damage losses of family agricultural production machinery and draft animals that cannot be transferred, as well as major household durable consumer goods.

Article 12 After the flood storage and detention areas are used, compensation shall be made according to the following standards:

(one)For crops, professional breeding and economic forests, the compensation shall be 50-70%, 40-50% and 40-50% of the average annual output value of the three years before flood storage and detention respectivelythe specific compensation standard shall be determined by the provincial people’s government where the flood storage and detention area is located within the range specified above according to the actual water damage after flood storage and detention.

(two)Housing, according to 70% compensation of water damage loss

(three)50% compensation for water damage losses for household agricultural production machinery, draft animals, and major household durable consumer goods. However, if the total registered value of household agricultural production machinery, draft animals and household main durable consumer goods is less than 2,000 yuan, 100% of the water damage loss will be compensated; if the water damage loss exceeds 2,000 yuan but less than 4,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan will be compensated.
