The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a strategic infrastructure project with a large scale, huge investment, wide coverage, and far-reaching impact. At the same time, it is also a strategic infrastructure project under the conditions of the socialist market economy that adopts "government macro-control, quasi-market mechanism operation, and modern enterprise

Management, water user participation" mode of operation, a cluster of super-large projects that are both public welfare and operational.

The complexity and challenges of its construction management have never been encountered in previous project construction.

1.

Project diversity: There are many project points and long lines. The first phase of the east and middle line projects includes more than 2,700 unit projects.

Among them, there are not only reservoirs, channels, and sluices of general water conservancy projects, but also large-flow pumping stations, super-long and super-large water tunnels, super-large aqueducts, hidden culverts, etc.

2.

Diversity of investment: The project investment is huge, and the financing channels for the main project include government appropriations, South-to-North Water Diversion Project Funds and bank loans.

Government funding is mainly arranged by the central government.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project Fund actually purchases the water rights for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which vary depending on the water demand and water diversion distance of each province and city.

The funds allocated by the central government and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project funds raised by provinces and municipalities together constitute the project capital, and investors shall exercise their respective responsibilities, obligations and rights in proportion.

The loan will be uniformly underwritten by the person responsible for the project construction, and will be repaid with water fee revenue and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project Fund after the expiration of the project construction period.

3.

Management openness: First, in the management of project construction, it is necessary to not only reflect the status and role of the project legal person as the responsible subject, but also to establish a multi-level and hierarchical responsible management system. It is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the project legal person and fully mobilize all parties involved. Second, in addition to the construction of the main project, there is also a large number of related work, such as land acquisition and resettlement, ecological and environmental protection, water pollution control, cultural relic protection, water conservation, groundwater extraction control, industrial structure adjustment, etc., involving many regions , The adjustment of the responsibilities and interests of many departments must be realized through effective cooperation and coordination between the central and local governments and relevant departments; third, in the formulation and implementation of various policies during the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, full consideration must be given to the benefits of project construction, In order to meet the requirements of economic development and social stability, we must fully listen to the opinions of governments at all levels and the general public along the route, establish effective information communication channels, and accept supervision from the society and the public; fourthly, the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is related to the long-term development of my country's economic and social development and must be Establish a scientific and democratic decision-making mechanism and listen extensively to opinions and suggestions from experts and all sectors of society.

4.

Regional differences: The first phase of the east and middle line projects involves seven provinces and cities, with large differences between urban and rural areas and uneven economic development.

Water resources allocation includes both water transfer areas and water receiving areas; the water transfer area must not only protect water resources, but also promote local economic and social development; the water users in the water receiving area include both cities and rural areas; there are already developed coastal economies along the project line

provinces, as well as provinces in the central region where the economy is relatively underdeveloped; in the different areas involved in the project, there are both off-site resettlement of reservoir immigrants and on-site resettlement of trunk line immigrants; land adjustment includes both urban demolition and township compensation, etc.

Therefore, when formulating and grasping policies, we must not only consider the unity of the policy, but also study the particularities of different objects in different regions and make realistic arrangements.

5.

Technical challenges: In terms of engineering technology, we are facing some new challenges, such as the combination of new and old concrete in the Danjiangkou Dam heightening project, the application of large-section excavation shield technology in the middle line crossing the Yellow River project, and the low-lift and large-flow water pump on the east line.

Selection and manufacturing, safety of water delivery during winter glaciation in northern areas and automated management of long-distance water transfer, etc.

In terms of social management, it is necessary to work simultaneously on pollution control on the east line, protection of water source areas in the middle line, control of groundwater extraction in water-receiving areas, water supply safety control during water transportation, and implementation of social water-saving measures.

In economic management, price index and related policy changes have caused problems with water price burden and social affordability, the reasonable allocation of water resources at different levels, the control of loan repayment risks, etc., all need to be studied in depth and properly resolved.

6．

Comprehensive benefits: The benefits of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project are reflected in many aspects.

It has both economic benefits, social benefits, and ecological benefits; it is necessary not only to ensure the amount of water transferred, but also to ensure the quality of the water transferred, and to promote the improvement of pollution control along the line; it is not only necessary to ensure the effective use of the transferred water, but also to promote the water receiving

By reducing the exploitation of groundwater in water-receiving areas, we can promote the joint dispatch of regional water resources and improve the utilization level, and promote the establishment of water-saving cities and water-saving societies.

Coordinate various different goals and ultimately achieve the overall goal of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
