2.2025 target. Preliminarily build a modern water safety guarantee system with high standards, complete functions, high efficiency, and strong protection, to further improve flood control and security capabilities, water resources protection capabilities, ecological protection capabilities and system water management capabilities, and strengthen water conservancy for the modernization and high-quality development of Jiangsu Guarantee, add watery charm to the construction of beautiful Jiangsu.

——Flood prevention and security are more stable. The flood control capacity of the river basin has been consolidated and improved, the shortcomings of regional governance have been accelerated, and the flood control and emergency response capabilities have been further improved. Most areas of Jiangsu Province are basically free from losses due to general floods. After scientific organization and scheduling, they can defend against the largest flood since the founding of New China. There are emergency measures to prevent excessive floods to minimize disaster losses and ensure that the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, The safety of key embankments such as Hongze Lake ensures the safety of people’s lives and property and the overall stability of the economic and social development of Jiangsu Province. Flood control standards: Hongze Lake and downstream flood protection areas in the Huaihe River system have reached a once-in-a-hundred-year event and transitioned to a once-in-300-year event. In the case of a transition to a 100-year event, the main stream of the Yangtze River will transition from a 1954-type flood to a 100-year event, and the seawall will consolidate the once-in-50-year tidal-proof standard; the regional backbone river flood control standard basically reaches the once-in-20-year event, including the Taihu Lake and the Qinhuai River The main backbone rivers in the region have reached or approached the once-in-50-year encounter. The standard for waterlogging elimination is that the Huaihe River Basin will have a once-in-a-lifetime event in 5-10 years, and the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake Basin will have a once-in-a-lifetime event in 10-20 years. The flood control of cities at all levels has reached the national flood control standard, and the important rivers have reached the once-in-20-year flood drainage standard. The compliance rate of river dikes in Jiangsu Province has reached 86%.

-Water supply guarantee is more reliable. The cross-basin and cross-regional water allocation engineering system has been further improved. Through reasonable allocation, scientific scheduling and strict protection, it can meet the basic needs of people’s living, economic development and ecological environment.

Basically, a rural water conservancy project system with complete functions and reasonable layout compatible with agricultural modernization will be basically formed, as well as a rural water conservancy service system with long-term management and service in place, to ensure the construction of high-standard farmland for droughts and floods, and to help the overall revitalization of the countryside. The guarantee rate of agricultural irrigation in Jiangsu Province is 80%-95%, and the effective irrigation area, drought and flood protection field area, and water-saving irrigation project area have reached 95%, 90%, and 70% of the cultivated land area respectively.

——The use of resources is more efficient. The construction of a water-saving society has been intensified, the rigid constraints on water resources have been fully implemented, and the water use efficiency has basically reached the level of moderately developed countries. The total water consumption of Jiangsu Province is controlled within 52.59 billion cubic meters, the water consumption of 10,000 yuan of regional GDP and the water consumption of 10,000 yuan of industrial added value have fallen to complete the national target, and the effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water has increased to 0.625.

-Ecological protection is more stringent. The safety of drinking water source areas is up to standard, the water ecological space is effectively protected, the water area is not reduced, the ecological environment of rivers and lakes is accelerated, the function of rivers and lakes is restored and improved, and soil erosion is effectively controlled. Jiangsu Province has restored 100 square kilometers of water surface, the protection rate of the ecological water level (flow) of key rivers and lakes has reached more than 90%, the soil and water conservation rate has reached 97.7%, and the annual extraction of groundwater has been controlled within 470 million cubic meters.

——The management service is more refined. Water management in accordance with the law is fully promoted, the planning system is further improved, the stable growth mechanism of water conservancy investment is gradually improved, the effectiveness of water regime education is obvious, a comprehensive, intelligent, standardized, and efficient water management service system is basically formed, and the water conservancy governance system and governance capacity of Jiangsu Province are modernized Significantly improved.
