The Tumia Water Conservancy project in Yutian County, Hotan prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region officially kicked off its construction on April 9. This major project not only marks the local water conservancy construction has taken a solid step, but also for the economic and social development of Yutian county and even the whole Hotan region into a strong impetus.

It is understood that the total budget investment of the Tumia water conservancy project is as high as 1.809 billion yuan, aiming to build a comprehensive water conservancy facility integrating irrigation, water supply, flood control and power generation functions. The main part of the project includes key structures such as the barrage, surface spillway and flood and sand drainage tunnel, which together form an efficient and stable water conservancy system to provide strong support for local agricultural production.

It is worth mentioning that the irrigation area of Aoeidelak, where the Tumia Water hub project is located, has a vast irrigation area of 92,000 mu. However, due to the lack of water conservancy projects in the irrigation area, the local agricultural production has long been troubled by the uneven distribution of the water inflow from the river. This situation not only affects the growth and yield of crops, but also restricts the sustainable development of local agriculture.

Therefore, it is particularly important to start construction of Tumia water conservancy project. It will effectively improve the local irrigation guarantee rate through scientific scheduling and management to ensure adequate water supply for crops during key growth periods. At the same time, the project will meet the growing demand for water and improve the living conditions of local residents. In addition, the Tumia water project will also play an important role in flood control and provide security for downstream areas.

In addition to the above functions, the Tumia water project will also take into account the power generation function. Through the use of hydropower resources, the project will provide clean and renewable energy for the local area, helping to promote the optimization of the local energy structure and environmental protection.

In short, the construction of Tumia water project is of great significance for improving local agricultural production level, improving people's livelihood, ensuring flood control safety and developing clean water resources. Its completion will strongly promote the economic and social development of Yutian County and even the whole Hotan area, and create a better future for the local people. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
