The construction of water conservancy projects is related to the people’s most basic livelihood guarantee. In order to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on network power, and actively implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s water governance thinking of "water saving priority, spatial balance, systematic governance, and two-handed effort." Implement the requirements of the National 14th Five-Year Plan, accelerate the construction of smart water conservancy, and drive the high-quality development of water conservancy in the new stage. ) "Implementation Plan for Promoting Smart Water Conservancy Construction during the "14th Five-Year Plan"" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan"), and simultaneously issued the "Top-level Design of Smart Water Conservancy Construction" (hereinafter referred to as the "Top-level Design") and "The Wisdom of the "14th Five-Year Plan" "Water Conservancy Construction Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "Construction Plan"), a series of documents clarifies the timetable, roadmap, task book, and responsibility list for advancing smart water conservancy construction.

The “Guiding Opinions” pointed out that the promotion of smart water conservancy construction is one of the six implementation paths to promote the high-quality development of water conservancy in the new stage. Taking digital scenarios, intelligent simulation, and precise decision-making as the main line, with the construction of digital twin basins as the core, comprehensively promote the construction of calculation data, algorithms, and computing power, and accelerate the construction of forecasts, early warnings, rehearsals, and plans (hereinafter referred to as "Four Predictions") function of the smart water conservancy system.

The "Guiding Opinions" require that by 2025, through the construction of digital twin basins, "2+N" water conservancy intelligent business application systems, water conservancy network security systems, and smart water conservancy guarantee systems, promote the intelligent transformation of water conservancy projects and build digital twins of seven major rivers In the river basin, the "Four Predictions" have been realized in key flood control areas, and the "Four Predictions" have been basically realized for water resources management and deployment in major trans-basin water diversion projects and key rivers and lakes across provinces. The level of N business applications has been significantly improved, and a smart water conservancy system has been established. Version 1.0. The "Guiding Opinions" also look forward to the goals for 2030 and 2035.

The "Guiding Opinions" put forward the main tasks for advancing the construction of smart water conservancy: The first is to build a digital twin basin, including the construction of a digital twin platform and the improvement of information infrastructure. The second is to build a "2+N" water conservancy intelligent business application system, including the construction of river basin flood control applications, the construction of water resources management and deployment applications, and the construction of N business applications. The third is to strengthen the water conservancy network security system, including water conservancy network security management, water conservancy network security protection, and water conservancy network security supervision. The "Guiding Opinions" also put forward four safeguard measures, including implementing responsibilities, increasing investment, strengthening supervision, and building a strong team. Keywords: infrastructure, infrastructure construction, domestic engineering news, planning investment

The construction of water conservancy projects is the most basic guarantee for the people’s livelihood. It is in line with the "Guiding Opinions". The Ministry of Water Resources has issued the "Implementation Plan" to relevant departments and bureaus, directly affiliated units, China Three Gorges Group Co., Ltd. and China South-to-North Water Diversion Group Co. The tasks proposed in the “Guiding Opinions” were further refined and implemented into 94 specific measures, and the division of responsibilities and completion time were clearly defined. The "Top-Level Design" issued simultaneously mainly plans the overall goals, overall framework, construction layout, construction arrangements, etc. of smart water conservancy construction. The "Construction Plan" mainly clarifies the goals, construction tasks, and key projects of smart water conservancy during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. content. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
