Six tis?
Damn!
Could it be any more extravagant? To prevent certain rivers from clogging and affecting flood diversion, it’s actually designed to be six tis the capacity, unless your luck is insanely bad.
Otherwise.
There’s really no way to wash away this system.
Aweso!
Wealthy.
Willful.
But it’s worth learning from, after all, unexpected situations can’t be avoided, such as landslides and mudslides, which are not impossible, and need to be prevented early.
Hmm!
This should be included in the report.
After all.
This isn’t about building a house, but diverting water. As long as it’s well-planned, a sixfold water storage capacity doesn’t require too much additional cost.
Twenty percent cost increase.
In exchange for one hundred percent safety.
Worth it.
Very worth it!
...
Then.
On the way back.
They also saw, in this mountainous area’s river, the often collapsed mountain on both sides, being reinforced, with thick steel pipes driven into the mountain.
The net is densely covered.
The more you look.
The more satisfied you are, it’s almost like you don’t need to make major changes, just copy this mature plan from here, although the cost will increase significantly, it’s still within the bearable range.
Infrastructure.
Has never been just about input.
A big project.
Exploration.
Design.
Construction.
Materials.
...
Each link can create trendous social benefits, even if a one hundred million dollar building is built and then demolished, a large number of people upstream and downstream make money.
Employnt, done.
Consumption, done.
The economy can keep rolling.
...
The next day.
Morning.
They ca to a wide riverside, where construction was busy, yet the sight was a bit jaw-dropping---so rough.
As seen.
The shore.
Five ters from the river.
A trench ten ters wide, and about one ter deep was dug, then a piling machine drove a ten-ter-long, thirty-centiter-diater concrete pillar down.
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
It was driven in.
In two rows.
After that.
Soone tied rebar on top, making a platform-like mold, and poured concrete, at first glance, the whole river was like this on both sides.
Nearby.
The local personnel said:
"This hydropower construction phase mainly aims to fix the river width, to avoid riverbank collapse, what we see now, is the widened river line."
"Of course."
"Not all rivers. need to be widened, only a small part, depending on necessity and convenience of construction, and so on, therefore."
"In the future."
"Even if the water rises here, exceeding the alert level, we can quickly establish water-blocking facilities on the flat platform to control flooding."
"..."
Although.
The inspection team praised this in their hearts.
Unfortunately.
They also knew, this can only be observed, to learn it, wait another ten or twenty years, the current one is not part of the main project for flood prevention.
There’s a bit of a show-off project in this.
In front.
The platform is built.
There will also be steps leading to the river, even at the end of the steps, a railing will be built to remind people that beyond that, the water gets deeper.
Obviously.
This is part of an upgrade project, in the short term, can only watch others have fun, once completed, it’s estimated to beco a super eye-catching travel and sightseeing spot.
Even.
Beco a world-class engineering marvel.
"How many rivers will be modified like this?"
Soone asked.
"All rivers with an average width of more than twenty ters will have concrete step embanknts, for those under twenty ters, it depends."
"..."
Alright.
Got money.
Do as you please.
I guess.
Being nad one of the world’s engineering wonders is set in stone. Shortly after, they arrived upstream, at a place where the step embanknt was already built.
Imdiately.
Spectacular sight.
The shore.
The concrete platform, flush with the ground, the inner side has been leveled, within fifteen ters, flat lawns are planted, along with so ornantal trees.
Deeper inside.
Is lush green rice.
On the riverside.
The steps extend into the river.
Three ters outside the lowest step subrged in water, is a row of railings, not high, only one ter above the water, with graded numbers on it.
After calculating.
The water there is only half a ter deep.
Moreover.
Due to the clear water quality, you can faintly see the steps there. There are also so anglers by the shore, leisurely fishing on the steps.
That scene.
Very nice.
Even though.
The more you look.
The more it feels like a show-off project.
"Snap!"
The group snapped photos.
For mories.
"Looks good."
"The water quality is great."
"Beautiful!"
"..."
The representatives of the inspection team kept praising verbally, but Sun Jiang remained quite calm, as the project had been going on for so long, of course he had seen it.
His thoughts.
Were fond of it.
He even ca here to fish several tis, then went back and cooked a full fish feast himself, the fish in these rivers are not allowed to be caught with nets, but they can be fished.
Therefore.
There are plenty of big fish inside.
Truly wild fish.
At this ti.
Soone was curious again.
"In that case, does having no plants along the shore affect the water’s ecosystem?" Since so fish rely on shore plants for survival.
In front.
Though it looks good.
But.
Does it destroy the river’s ecosystem? To this question, the local personnel still maintained a smile, "We have, of course, considered this."
"Outside the railing."
"The water is half a ter deep. It’s just because it’s freshly constructed, so aquatic plants were cut off, not really destroying the shallow shore ecosystem."
"Very soon."
"They will grow back. Further upstream, you can see earlier projects, the shore plant ecosystem has almost fully recovered."
After hearing this.
Everyone couldn’t help but nod.
I see.
Indeed.
How could such an important issue be completely ignored by the locals? Seeing the people fishing by the river, many also wanted to try casting a line.
Unfortunately.
They could only think of it, at most, they could go see the catch.
So.
Approaching.
They ca to an old man’s fishing spot, he was only wearing a straw hat, with no professional fishing gear, just a bamboo pole, very laid-back.
"Can we take a look?"
"Sure."
The old man was evidently startled by the entourage, after the local personnel explained, he nodded quickly.
With permission.
They picked up the fish basket.
Wow!
Quite a haul, a dozen fish, two or three pounds large, small ones palm-wide, after a little chat, they found out he was a local farr, after checking the rice.
He ca to fish, to pass the ti.
Life.
Quite leisurely.
Nearby.
Sun Jiang listened to the old man highly praising this project, with a smile in his heart, this is truly heartfelt. Not to ntion anything else, but Ling’s reputation, at the grassroots level, is trendously high.
Every family venerates him.
The lives of these farming people improved significantly after Ling took office.
Cars.
Villas.
Were things unimaginable before, and to prevent low crop prices from harming farrs, the official purchase price offered is even higher than the market price, plus subsidies.
Therefore.
Farming.
Here, the annual inco is not too low, and on average, the inco of farrs in this area, compared to a few years ago, has at least tripled.
