Is there an estuary of Huaihe River?

There is an estuary in the Huaihe River.

A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Huaihe River Water Resources Commission that the Huaihe River waterway project has made significant progress, and the waterway owner

The channel was basically connected in mid-May; At the same time, the relevant state departments require that the original construction period of the project be shortened from 7 years to 4 years.

All localities should strive to basically complete the project in 2002, and play the role of diverting water into the sea before the summer flood of Huaihe River in June 2003.

According to historical records, from the end of 12 century to the middle of 19 century, the Huaihe River was occupied by the Yellow River several times.

Bed, a lot of sediment from the upstream swallowed the Huaihe River, making it the only one of the seven major water systems in China.

A "Brokeback Mountain" river leading to the sea.

After the founding of New China, the party and the state invested a lot of manpower and material resources to control the Huaihe River. However, due to the restoration of the Huaihe River waterway,

Miscellaneous, at the same time, there are many people and less land in the basin, and the problem of "difficulty in entering the sea" has not been solved. Once there is a flood upstream, first of all,

Intercepted by Hongze Lake, the flood peak is "divided" into several parts and injected into the Yangtze River, Xinyi River and the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu.

Sea. Because the Huaihe River has never had a direct access to the sea, the flood discharge of the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu, which was built in the 1950s, is only

800 cubic meters/second, after years of operation, a large area of high beach and silt has appeared, so cut

Opening the narrow throat and opening the mouth of the Huaihe River has become a top priority for Huaihe River management. 1998 Huaihe waterway engineering

Cheng broke ground, and at the same time, the projects of river course and Huaimu River to clean up the silt on the high beach were also started one after another.

He, chief engineer of the Planning and Research Institute of Huaihe Water Resources Commission, who is in charge of engineering design, told reporters that the Huaihe River enters the sea.

Road projects include the main channel into the sea, five major hubs, 26 dike-crossing pumping stations, seven highway bridges and irrigation and other supporting projects. already

The main canal that basically runs through is parallel to the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu, starting from the No.2 gate of Hongze Lake and passing through four counties such as Yancheng.

The Yellow River is connected, with a total length of 163.5 km, and the whole project is planned to invest 4.2 billion yuan.

Chief engineer He said that the flood discharge capacity of the new Huaihe River waterway into the sea is 2270 cubic meters per second, and the first phase of the project has been completed.

After that, the flood discharge of the Huaihe River system can be increased by nearly 1 times, and the flood control capacity will be improved from the current return period of less than 50 years to.

/kloc-once every 0/00 years.

According to the figures provided by the Ministry of Water Resources, the first phase of the project needs to relocate 62,000 people and demolish 68,000 houses. at present

The relocation work is very stressful. In Huaiyin alone, 26,000 people have been relocated, and the newly-built 10 immigrant village has also passed.

Acceptance in Anhui province.

"After the completion of the project, the population of 26 million in the Huaihe River Basin, which has been plagued by floods for hundreds of years, will be resettled for a long time.

Ning. Chief engineer He told reporters, "This project will also play a great role in the development of drainage and shipping."

The effect is infinite. "
