"At present, the number of water conservancy projects in Sichuan is unprecedented, the scale of investment is unprecedented, and it has entered the 'water conservancy project year' of planning projects, construction projects, acceptance projects and operation projects." Said Guo Hengxiao, director of Sichuan Provincial water Resources Department.

In 2024, Sichuan included 568 water conservancy projects supported by national debt, with a total investment of 71.8 billion yuan, and implemented national debt funds of 25.4 billion yuan.
