Implementation path and safeguarding measures for modernization and development of irrigation districts
Liu Yunbo
Abstract：Irrigation districts shall be the foundation for ensuring national food security.With relatively complete irrigation infrastructure and effective drainage systems,the grain production capacity of these districts significantly surpasses the national average,positioning them as the"main force"in grain production and the"ballast stone"of food security in China.The deepening of national strategies for food security,agricultural modernization,rural revitalization,and the promotion of the Chinese path to modernization imposes new and higher demands on the high-quality development of irrigation districts.However,issues such as outdated infrastructure,gaps in operation and management,and insufficient innovation capacity persist.Modernization and rehabilitation of irrigation districts have become an urgent need requiring systematic research and comprehensive advancement.In order to support national food security,agricultural modernization,water security,and the development of new agricultural models,as well as to achieve high-quality development of irrigation districts,this paper proposes several implementation paths,including establishing modern management concepts for irrigation district construction,raising standards for planning,design,and construction,accelerating the improvement of supporting infrastructure,reforming operational management systems,and enhancing scientific and technological innovation and the application of new technologies.Additionally,safeguarding measures are suggested,including top-level design,policy enhancement,demonstration and training,and continuous guidance.
