From July 19th to 22nd, Li Guoying, Secretary of the Party group of the Ministry of Water Resources and Minister, conducted research on water conservancy work in the Tibet Autonomous Region. He emphasized the need to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's ideas on water management, which include prioritizing water conservation, achieving spatial balance, implementing systematic governance, and using both hands to tackle water issues. He also stressed the importance of implementing the Opinions on Comprehensive Promotion of River and Lake Protection and Governance issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council. Based on the water situation in Tibet, Li Guoying called for coordinating high-quality development and high-level safety, accelerating the improvement of urban flood control systems, construction of major water conservancy projects, modernization and transformation of irrigation districts, to provide strong water security guarantees for promoting long-term stability and high-quality development in Tibet. During his research, Li Guoying visited the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Lhasa River, Nianchu River, and other basins in Lhasa, Shigatse, Saga County, Lazi County, Angren County, Lhasa County, and Jiangzi County. He focused on the protection and governance of river basins, urban flood control projects in Lhasa and Shigatse, the Pazi Water Conservancy Hub Project, the Manla Water Conservancy Hub Project, the Manla Irrigation District, and the Saga Water Storage and Irrigation System. Li Guoying emphasized the need for modernizing the operation and management of existing reservoirs, ensuring the safety of reservoirs while fully utilizing their functions. For ongoing and planned reservoir projects, the focus should be on building "safe dams, ecological dams, and intelligent dams," taking into account the local ecological resources and environmental conditions, and implementing relevant measures accordingly to optimize construction plans.
