"Mayor Ye, it's not good!" The voice on the phone was urgent, "Over there in Xuling County, some houses have been washed away!"
"What?!" Ye Kai suddenly lost all sleepiness after hearing this.
The caller was Deng Jinyou, deputy mayor and police chief of Dongshan City.
Ever since he listened to the instructions of Liu Yishan, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, and defected to Ye Kai, Deng Jinyou had worked very hard, and he followed Ye Kai's instructions and never tried to push him to the west.
This time, Ye Kai urgently asked them to pay attention to the development of the flood situation. He was so urgent that Deng Jinyou took it to heart.
As the deputy mayor in charge of the police station, a violent institution, Deng Jinyou's influence is still relatively large. Although he has not yet entered the standing committee circle and has little say in key issues, his actual influence is relatively heavy, especially
He is the one who dominates the police system.
As a key unit in the city, the management of the police station has always been very strict. Deng Jinyou has controlled this system, and his position in front of the mayor is stable.
Of course, if you offend the municipal party committee secretary or mayor and really make them angry, it won't be easy to say.
After all, if the two monitors and deputy monitors in the city insisted on replacing them, their positions would not be secure.
"Mayor Ye, the main disaster-stricken area in the city is Xuling County. Fortunately, your instructions were relatively timely. Flood warnings were issued in various places, so although more than a dozen private houses were destroyed, most of the conditions were still the same.
It's good, and there are no casualties!" Deng Jinyou reported on the phone, "But the meteorological department said that the rain will not stop for a while, and I am worried that the situation will be more serious in the future!"
Ye Kai had already gotten up from the bed. He nodded and replied, "Old Deng, you are right. This kind of strong convective weather may continue in the next three days. We cannot take it lightly!"
Then Ye Kai asked again, "Where are you now?"
"I'm already sitting in the car, preparing to rush to Xuling County. I plan to mobilize the police system first to see if anything can be done." Deng Jinyou said.
"Old Deng, you've done a great job. You go ahead and I'll arrange the work here and I'll be here soon." Ye Kai heard this and responded immediately.
Then Ye Kai thought of something and added, "Don't be anxious, be sure to pay attention to safety on the road!"
"Thank you, Mayor Ye, for your concern. I will pay attention to it." Deng Jinyou was very happy after hearing this. Ye Kai is actually quite kind to people. As long as you don't antagonize him, he is still easy to deal with.
At this time, through a period of contact with Ye Kai, Deng Jinyou also discovered that Ye Kai was much stronger than the previous mayor Meng Zhao. Moreover, following him, the future was bright. It is said that this acting mayor Ye was a descendant of a big shot from the capital. Authentic
The third generation of red.
If not, Director Liu Yishan of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee would not have entrusted the two of them to Ye Kai, just because Ye Kai was powerful enough to cover them.
After Ye Kaikai hung up the phone, he looked at his watch and saw that it was only around four o'clock in the morning.
He put on his clothes, opened the window and took a look, and found that it was still raining outside, and the rain showed no sign of letting up.
If we continue like this, not to mention the mountainous areas, even the urban area of Dongshan, there will be no benefits.
Ye Kai drank a glass of water and then walked into the yard. Sure enough, he found that although the water in the yard dissipated relatively quickly, the water at the entrance of the yard was as deep as the soles of his feet.
Based on this estimate, the water on the street should be enough to submerge the ankles.
"Oh, it's another battle that tests the city's flood discharge capabilities!" After seeing this scene, Ye Kai couldn't help but scratch his head.
All flooding problems are caused by asymmetry in rainfall, flood discharge, and flood discharge capacity.
Flooding in any city or village, to sum up, is inseparable from two aspects. It is nothing more than the obstruction of the flood drainage system, or the disaster caused by the obstruction of the flood discharge system.
The so-called flood drainage refers to the surface drainage capacity. Whether in cities or rural areas, if surface water cannot be drained out, waterlogging will occur.
In the past, the flood drainage capacity of Dongshan urban area was strong because residential areas were built on high ground, and there was no accumulation of water in the streets and alleys, and there were no low-lying areas. In the event of a heavy rainstorm, it was ensured that no water would enter the house and no waterlogging would occur. Flood phenomenon.
However, with the reconstruction of the old city, the urban layout of Dongshan City has also changed with the reconstruction, and the location of the urban area has also moved. Whenever the rainfall is slightly higher, waterlogging occurs frequently, and the most typical depressions occur.
This is also because when designing, the urban construction department excessively pursues the aesthetic design concept of the city and often ignores the city's flood drainage capacity.
Flood discharge refers to the underground water capacity and discharge capacity, as well as the discharge distance.
The design capacity of Dongshan City's flood-discharging underground sewers is much smaller. It can at most cope with a heavy rain that occurs once every three years. If the rain is too heavy, too rapid, or lasts for too long, it will not be able to cope with it. Then the rainwater in the underground channels will not be able to cope with it. It will overflow and run onto the street, causing a more troublesome problem.
In fact, this problem is not only present in Dongshan City, but also in all major, medium and small cities across the country.
The reason for this situation is actually very simple. The buildings above the ground are political achievement projects that everyone can see. The more you build, the more it shows that you are doing a good job. However, the drainage system is on the ground. Which leader is willing to see the following?
Moreover, most of the underground pipe network cannot be seen, and leaders will not drill into sewer wells to see whether the work is being done solidly.
For now, there really are no senior leaders who can do this.
What goes up leads to results. Naturally, no one has much interest in building underground drainage pipe networks. Not only does this cost a lot of money, it also fails to achieve the purpose of publicizing one's political achievements. It is a thankless job.
Besides, heavy rains may not occur only a few times a year. Once it passes, it will pass. As long as no one is killed, there is no big problem. Houses that are washed away can be rebuilt, which is equivalent to the huge investment in building underground drainage projects. Than, it can only be said to be drizzle, so everyone is selectively ignoring this issue.
Ye Kai stood outside the door and watched for a while. When he saw the rainwater flowing down the street towards the low-lying areas, he felt a little distracted.
Although he was determined to renovate the underground drainage project in Dongshan City, he lost his temper when he thought about the funds and workload that would be invested, as well as the possible opposition from all parties.
In the current Dongshan City, it is true that there is still no condition for the overall transformation of underground drainage projects.
Ye Kai did not get up and go to Xuling County immediately. On the one hand, it was because they had just returned from Longcheng City and everyone was very tired. It was not conducive to safety to hit the road at this time. On the other hand, he thought that the heavy rain had just started and it had not stopped yet.
At the most critical moment, after all, those mud houses will collapse after being soaked in floods for several days.
If we pass it now, it will not be of much use, but will affect the normal progress of local flood control and waterlogging prevention work.
Now that Deng Jinyou has rushed over first, Ye Kai doesn't need to be too anxious.
Another thing is that he needs to hold a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss the current focus of work and arrange some work for everyone. As the acting mayor and acting secretary, Ye Kai has no reason to put all the people in Dongshan City.
All the work is done by one person.
The notice was that the meeting would start on time at eight-thirty, but when everyone arrived, it was already almost nine o'clock.
"Sorry, the car stalled halfway." The last one to arrive was Propaganda Minister He Muyang, who apologized profusely as soon as he entered the door.
Ye Kai glanced at him and found that He Muyang's pants were more than half wet, and his shoes were dripping with mud. You can imagine how much he suffered on the road.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. He. Sit down and drink some water first. The weather is really bad today, and everyone has just arrived." Ye Kai didn't say anything else, and asked the staff to pour hot tea and bring it over.
"Thank you, thank you." He Muyang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
In fact, these people came not too early. The first person to come was Deputy Secretary Li Wenhai. He lived relatively close, but even so, he did not appear in the conference room until 8:40.
When everyone calmed down, Ye Kai looked at his watch and said, "A heavy rain broke all the punctuality records of our standing committee members."
"This rain is indeed strong..." Li Wenhai listened and immediately nodded in agreement, "I just went for a walk on the street, and the waterlogging situation was indeed serious. Cars couldn't drive, and people couldn't walk fast. Then
Those who are late must be the same as everyone else."
"Yes, the problem is indeed serious. I heard that this rain will last at least three days, which will bring a great test to our urban flood prevention work." Organization Minister Lin Jiwen said.
Everyone expressed their approval, and then expressed their dissatisfaction with the urban drainage project.
Song Linsheng, the mayor of Changfu Wu, was also late. After hearing this, he said, "Actually, this is a problem left over from history. When we built the city before, we did not take these things into consideration. Now that there are more buildings on the ground, things underground have become worse."
It’s inconvenient, but once there’s a heavy rain like this, the city will feel like it’s been flooded.”
"The city should invest more in flood control and drainage projects. Otherwise, even if it comes two or three times a year, it will be too much for everyone." Propaganda Minister He Muyang said, "Actually, this is part of our city's construction.
The shortcoming is that if this problem is not solved, once a problem occurs, no matter how good we are in other aspects, we will not be able to satisfy everyone."
"Yes, this is a big problem." Ye Kai nodded and said, "There are no small things in people's lives. In fact, it is not just the interests of the people that are affected now. Even we ourselves will feel very inconvenient and very embarrassed.
."
"Mayor Ye plans to rebuild the underground sewer project?" Deputy Secretary Li Wenhai frowned after hearing what Ye Kai said, "This is a big problem for the boss!"
