The first thousand two hundred and twenty chapters to investigate the water situation
This restaurant is not far from the county government office. The last time his daughter-in-law was "unfilial" to her mother-in-law, Liu Dadao bought two bowls of longevity noodles from his house. After leaving the restaurant, Zhu Pingan led Liu Dadao and others to investigate the city in the rain.
Drainage ditches and water accumulation conditions.
Jingnan is an old county town with a history of hundreds of years since its founding. Although the project is not a scumbag project, the drainage ditches are also facing aging problems. The blue bricks and bluestone slabs used to lay the ditches are aging and severely damaged.
, the situation of ditches blocked by soil, vegetation and domestic garbage is not easy to be optimistic, and now it can only barely maintain its drainage function.
The current rainfall is still within the tolerance of the drainage ditches, and there is not much accumulated water in the county. Only some low-lying road sections have accumulated water. If the rainfall increases, the ditches will be unable to bear the task of drainage.
This is a hidden danger.
Zhu Ping'an kept this in mind, and then took Liu Mu and others to the east gate to check the drainage outlets out of the county seat.
The terrain of Jingnan County is generally higher in the west and lower in the east, so the drainage outlets of the county are concentrated at the east gate of the county. The drainage outlets are made of natural giant bluestones, in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, and are divided into three floors, with 6 on each floor.
Square water holes, each about fifty centimeters long and forty centimeters wide. The accumulated water in Jingnan County is collected from the west, drained out of the city through the east city gate, and poured into the Sanli River outside the city.
The drain outlet is also an antique. Fortunately, the giant bluestone is sturdy. Although it has been baptized by the years, it is still strong.
However, six of the eighteen drainage outlets are blocked by silt, vegetation, and garbage, and the drainage is not smooth enough.
"Sir, I'm coming, I'm coming."
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was about to wade into the water to clear the blockage, Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and others quickly rolled up their trouser legs and rushed into the water first. The water depth was just up to their knees. They waded to the drainage outlet and used wooden sticks to remove the blockage.
Poke it out.
After unblocking, the drain outlet leaked like water.
After inspecting Jingnan County, Zhu Ping'an and his party walked along the drainage ditch outside the city towards Sanli River.
Due to continuous rain, the water volume of Sanli River is much richer than usual.
Zhu Ping'an stood on the river embankment and looked around for a moment. He couldn't help but frown. There were many questions.
First of all, the phenomenon of river beach occupation is serious. The fields on both sides of the river bank occupy the river beach and encircle the river to create farmland. The fields are like invaders, occupying the river beach, and destroying the river beach to make it look ugly for better planting.
Secondly, there are hidden dangers in the dam. In order to facilitate the diversion of water to irrigate the land, many holes were dug in the Sanli River's dam. Zhu Pingan made a rough count and found that there were seventeen or eighteen holes in the length of only about one mile.
The water volume of the Sanli River is not large now, so these openings may seem to have no impact. However, if the water reaches the river beach, these openings will become ant nests that burst the embankments, and floods will drive straight in, swallowing up villages and county towns.
In addition, Zhu Ping'an also found that the embankment showed signs of being dug out to take out soil. A good embankment had pits dug into it. Although the embankment was not dug through, the stability and solidity of the embankment were seriously damaged.
.....
An ant nest can break a dike thousands of miles away. How can a dike full of holes withstand an unpredictable flood?
Losing big things because of small things, ruining public affairs because of private interests.
well......
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go to Fengyong Reservoir." Zhu Pingan led Liu Mu and others from Sanli River to Fengyong Reservoir.
Fengyong Reservoir is the lifeline of Jingnan. It not only provides Jingnan with abundant drinking water, but also nurtures thousands of hectares of surrounding paddy fields and irrigates tens of thousands of acres of farmland. Jingnan’s agriculture is inseparable from Fengyong Reservoir.
Fengyong Reservoir is located deep in the mountains. The road is difficult and muddy. Zhu Pingan and others had to break trees into crutches and move forward with difficulty. Halfway through, a stream spread and covered the stone bridge. The road could not be seen clearly.
I don't know how many similar scenes there will be in the future. For safety reasons, Zhu Pingan had no choice but to retreat and turned back. He found an experienced and young guide in the village at the foot of the mountain and let him lead him to Fengyong Reservoir.
The guide often went up the mountain to cut firewood and was familiar with every plant and tree in the mountain. Although the stream spread across the stone bridge, the guide still accurately determined the location of the stone bridge and led Zhu Pingan and his party to wade across the stone bridge.
A little further on, we encountered danger again, as a landslide blocked the road. Fortunately, we had a guide who led us through a hidden path. Although the road was slippery and difficult to navigate, we passed safely without any danger.
When they arrived at the Fengyong Reservoir, Zhu Ping'an and his party felt as if they had been fished out of muddy water. They were almost soaked to the skin. Their clothes were torn several times by vegetation and were covered with grass clippings and mud.
After arriving at the destination, Zhu Pingan gave the pancakes and pickles to Liu Dadao and the guide. While eating the pancakes with the pickles, he inspected the Fengyong Reservoir. Fortunately, they were wrapped in oil paper, and although the pancakes were soaked by the rain and river water
I made some money, but the soil and other stolen goods were all separated from the oil paper and could still be eaten.
It has been raining for days, and the water level of the reservoir has risen rapidly, which is clearly visible through the scale marked on the stone pillar. Currently, the water level of the reservoir is close to the warning water line. Of course, if the rainfall continues like this, there will be no serious problems in the reservoir in the next half month.
We are afraid of a sudden increase in rainfall. Now we can take advantage of the fact that the rainfall is within a controllable range, open the gate and release water at the right time, lower the water level, enhance the water storage potential of the reservoir, and be prepared to deal with extreme rainfall weather.
There are also some hidden dangers in the reservoir dam slope protection. The slope protection stone retaining wall has cracks and damage. Fortunately, the situation is not serious.
Zhu Pingan was eating pancakes while looking along the reservoir embankment. He finished one pancake quickly.
Then, I rolled another pancake and watched it while eating.
Liu Dadao noticed that the guide was looking at Zhu Pingan with curiosity. To be precise, he was watching Zhu Pingan eating cakes.
"Fellow, what's wrong?"
Liu Dadao couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the young master also share the pie with you? Why do you keep staring at the young master?"
"I'm just curious, isn't the county magistrate supposed to eat big fish, meat, and delicacies? How come the county magistrate doesn't eat the delicacies? He goes into the mountains to check the reservoir in the rain, but what he eats is pancakes soaked in water and shredded pickles.
Ah, isn’t it true that our position as the county magistrate is in vain?”
The guide rubbed his hands and asked in confusion. He had been holding back these words for a long time, and when he heard Liu Dadao's question, he couldn't help but say them out.
It was hard for him to eat the cake, but the county magistrate ate it in large gulps, and it tasted quite delicious.
How can you not be curious?!
"Haha, what about a meal of delicacies? You, my fellow countryman, have listened to many stories, right? Since the young master arrived in Jingnan, he has never eaten a meal of delicacies. The food he usually eats is not much better than what you eat. If you don't eat delicacies, will your job as an official be in vain?
But pull them down, fellow man, you are talking about corrupt officials, our son is not an official for the sake of enjoyment."
Liu Dadao couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
