Among，Flood control project aims to improve the Yangtze River、The Yellow River、Huaihe River、Haihe River、Pearl River、Songhua River、Liaohe River、Flood control engineering system of Taihu Lake and other major rivers and lakes。Construction projects mainly include reservoirs.、River courses and embankments、Flood storage and detention area，13083 projects were implemented，Completed water conservancy investment of 328.2 billion yuan。The goal of water supply project is to realize the coordinated and balanced allocation of regional water resources.，The construction projects mainly include key water source projects.、Major inter-basin and inter-regional water diversion project，14,749 projects implemented，Completed water conservancy investment of 501.3 billion yuan。The goal of the irrigation project is to expand the irrigated area.，Increase grain production capacity，Construction projects mainly include new large and medium-sized irrigation areas.、The large and medium-sized irrigation areas that have been built have been continued to build supporting facilities and modernized.，A total of 5,143 projects were implemented，Completed water conservancy investment of 149.7 billion yuan。The main goal of the water ecological protection and control project is to restore the life of the river.、Restore the vitality of the river basin，The construction projects mainly include ecological restoration and management of rivers and lakes.、Comprehensive control of groundwater overexploitation、Soil erosion control, etc.，8039 projects implemented，Completed water conservancy investment of 220.4 billion yuan。

Build a national water network by 2035

The Li Guoying points out，The problem of water resources has increasingly become the biggest constraint to the high-quality development of regional economy and society.。New Era and New Journey，Promoting the Construction of a Powerful Country in an All-round Way with Chinese-style Modernization、The great cause of national rejuvenation，It calls for speeding up the solution of the problem of extremely unbalanced spatial and temporal distribution of water resources.，Enhance the ability of water resources regulation and control and water resources supply.，Ensuring high-quality economic and social development。To achieve this goal requires，It is necessary to speed up the construction of the network pattern of water resources allocation.，Promote the construction of national water network。

Li Guoying，The key tasks of national water network construction are mainly reflected in the following aspects:“Gang、Purpose、Knot”Three aspects：One is to build a national water network.“Gang”。With the Yangtze River、Huaihe River、The Yellow River、The Haihe River is based on the four major river systems.，East Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project、Midline、The three water diversion lines on the western route are the backbone.，Speed up the construction of the main framework and artery of the national water network。The second is to weave a dense national water network.“Purpose”。According to the distribution of productive forces and the needs of ecological environment protection，Based on natural river system，To quote、 Lose 、The drainage works are channels.，Form a crisscross pattern、Interconnected water flow network。The three is to lay a solid foundation for the national water network.“Knot”。At the junction of natural river system and key water diversion projects，Construction of controlled regulation and storage projects and key water source projects，In order to enhance the national water network water resources regulation and control capacity and water resources supply capacity.。

The outline of the national water network construction plan is clear，Build a national water network by 2035，The system is complete、Safe and reliable、Intensive and efficient、Green intelligence、Circulation is unobstructed、The goal of orderly regulation and control，Form a national water security system that is compatible with the basic realization of socialist modernization。Li Guoying，At present，The Ministry of Water Resources has decomposed and refined all the key tasks deployed in the outline of the national water network construction plan.，Implementing specific projects one by one，Implement the annual promotion plan one by one.，And establish and improve the project coordination and promotion mechanism.。Next step，The Ministry of Water Resources will comply with the law、Promote the implementation of the project scientifically and orderly，To ensure that the objectives and tasks of national water network construction are completed on schedule.。
