Modernization of irrigation area is a process of gradual development, constant maturity and full realization.

Irrigation district construction is the basic guarantee of national food security. Recently, the Ministry of Water Resources announced the first batch of pilot lists to deepen the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices and promote the construction of modern irrigation areas. Yanghe irrigation district No.2 in Hebei province and Liaoyang irrigation district in Liaoning province 1 1 pilot irrigation districts, Ruicheng county in Shanxi province and Yuanmou county in Chuxiong prefecture in Yunnan province 10 pilot counties were selected.

Promoting the construction of modern irrigation areas is the only way for the high-quality development of irrigation areas. Li, Minister of Water Resources, said that according to the characteristics of irrigation areas, pilot schemes should be formulated one by one, and the construction objectives, measures and paths of modern irrigation areas should be scientifically designed to ensure that one is built.

With the temperature rising gradually, the production of spring ploughing and spring irrigation is in full swing, and the water consumption for agricultural production has entered the peak period. Entering the Gan Tang area of Yuanmou County, Wei Chu, Yunnan Province, fresh corn, flowers and other large-scale characteristic crops are growing well.

way

1. Improve the comprehensive agricultural production capacity: According to the data of the Ministry of Water Resources, the effective irrigated area of farmland in China accounts for 54% of the total cultivated land in the country, producing more than 75% of the country's grain and more than 90% of cash crops, especially in large and medium-sized irrigation areas, which can be irrigated in drought and drained in waterlogging, ensuring the stable production of grain to the maximum extent.

2. Accelerate the construction of modern irrigation areas: farmland irrigation is a big water user and has the greatest water-saving potential. According to statistics, the annual water consumption of agriculture in China is more than 360 billion cubic meters, which exceeds 60% of the total annual water consumption in China.
