Hydrological Practices and Reflections on Constructing Pilot Area of New Development Pattern in Hubei Province
The 12th Party Congress of Hubei Province clearly pointed out that water control is the first step in governing the Jingchu region (also known as Hubei Province).Both the"14th Five-Year Plan of Water Security in Hubei Province"and the"Planning Outline of Modern Water Network in Hubei Province"put forward the strategic deployment aimed at improving water security capabilities.This paper examines the new requirements for hydrological work posed by this target and identifies the main challenges.We propose that the hydrological work in Hubei Province should focus on drought and flood disaster prevention,coordinated water resources regulation and conservation,protection and restoration of water ecological environment,digital twin water conservancy construction and other tasks.Moreover,it is also essential to address deficiencies in station network layout,monitoring capacity,and intelligent prediction,thereby accelerating hydrological modernization and improving hydrological monitoring and forecasting capacities.The findings are expected to provide hydrological support for Hubei Province in building a national pilot area of the new development pattern.
