Chapter 1220: Surveying the Water Situation
This restaurant is not far from the county government, and the last time the daughter-in-law was "unfilial" mother-in-law, Liu Dadao bought two bowls of longevity noodles at his house. Out of the restaurant, Zhu Ping'an led Liu Dadao and others to investigate the drainage ditches and stagnant water in the city in the rain.
Jingnan is an old county seat, which has a history of hundreds of years since its establishment. Although the project is not a tofu slag project, the drainage ditch is also facing the problem of aging, the green bricks and bluestone slabs of the ditch are aging and seriously damaged, and the ditch is blocked by soil, grass and domestic garbage.
At present, the rainfall is still within the tolerance range of the drainage ditch, and there is not much water in the county, only some low-lying roads have water accumulation. If the rainfall increases, it will be difficult for the ditch to carry out the task of draining.
This is a hidden danger.
Zhu Ping'an kept it in mind, and then took Liu Mu and others to the east gate, focusing on checking the drainage outlet outside the county seat.
The topography of Jingnan County is generally high in the west and low in the east, so the drainage outlets of the county are concentrated in the east gate of the county. The drain is made of natural giant bluestone, which is inverted trapezoidal and divided into three layers, each layer has 6 square outlets, each of which is 50 centimeters long and about 40 centimeters wide. The stagnant water in Jingnan County is collected from the west, discharged out of the city through the east city gate, and flows into the Sanli River outside the city.
The drain is also antique, but fortunately, the giant bluestone is solid, and although it has been baptized over the years, it is still strong.
However, six of the 18 outlets were blocked by silt, grass and garbage, and the drainage was not smooth enough.
"Childe, I'll come, I'll come."
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was going to wade through the water to dredge the blockage, Liu Dadao, Liu Dazhui and others had already rolled up their trouser legs with their hands and feet, and rushed to the water first, the water was just up to their knees, wading to the drain, and poking out the blockage with a wooden stick.
After dredging, the drain is leaking.
After inspecting Jingnan County, Zhu Ping'an and his entourage walked along the drainage ditch outside the city to the Sanli River.
Due to the continuous rain, the water volume of the Sanli River is much more abundant than before.
Zhu Ping'an stood on the embankment, looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, there are a lot of questions.
First of all, the phenomenon of occupying river beaches is serious. The fields on both sides of the river bank occupy the river beach, enclosing the river to make fields, and the fields are like invaders, encroaching on the river beach, and destroying the river beach for better planting.
The second is the hidden danger of the dam. In order to facilitate the diversion of water to irrigate the land, the embankment of the Sanli River has been artificially dug in many places. Zhu Ping'an roughly counted, and in just a mile or so, there were seventeen or eighteen openings.
Now the water volume of the Sanli River is not large, and these openings seem to have no effect, but if the water does not cross the river beach, these openings will become anthills that burst the embankment, and the flood will drive straight into them, swallowing the villages and county seats.
In addition, Zhu Ping'an also found that the embankment had traces of being dug for soil, and that the good embankment had been dug into a pit after pit, although the embankment had not been dug through, the stability and solidity of the embankment had been seriously damaged......
An anthill can burst a thousand miles of embankments, how can such a dike full of holes withstand an unpredictable flood?
Because of small losses, because of private abolition.
Alas......
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go to Fengyong Reservoir and have a look." Zhu Ping'an led Liu Mu and others from the Sanli River to the Fengyong Reservoir.
Fengyong Reservoir is the lifeline of Jingnan, which not only provides abundant drinking water to Jingnan, but also nourishes thousands of hectares of paddy fields around it, and tens of thousands of acres of farmland can be irrigated, and Jingnan's agriculture is inseparable from Fengyong Reservoir.
Fengyong Reservoir is located in the deep mountains, the road is difficult to travel, muddy, Zhu Ping'an and others have to break the wood into a turn, difficult to move forward. Halfway through, there is a stream spreading, I didn't cross the stone bridge, I can't see the road clearly, and I don't know how many similar scenes there are, for the sake of safety, Zhu Ping'an had to decide to retreat, turned back, and found an experienced and young guide in the village at the foot of the mountain, led by him to Fengyong Reservoir.
The guide often goes up the mountain to chop firewood and is familiar with every grass and tree in the mountain. Although the stream spread across the stone bridge, the guide still accurately explored the location of the stone bridge and led Zhu Ping'an and his party to wade along the stone bridge.
Going forward, and in distress, the landslide blocked the road, fortunately there was a guide to lead the way, through a hidden path detour, although the road is slippery and difficult to walk, but all the way there is a thrilling safe passage.
When they walked to the Fengyong Reservoir, Zhu Ping'an and his party seemed to have been fished out of the muddy water, almost soaked from top to bottom, and their clothes were cut by grass and trees, and they were covered with grass clippings and mud.
After arriving at the destination, Zhu Ping'an gave Liu Dadao and the guide a point of pancakes and pickles, and while eating pancakes with pickles, he checked the Fengyong Reservoir. Fortunately, the pancakes were soaked in rain and river water, but the dirt and other stolen goods were isolated from the oiled paper, and they could still be eaten.
After days of rainfall, the water level of the reservoir has risen rapidly, and it is clear at a glance through the stone pillar mark. At present, the water level of the reservoir is close to the warning water line, of course, if the rainfall has been like this, in the second half of the month, the reservoir will not be in serious trouble, I am afraid that the rainfall will increase sharply. Now it is possible to take advantage of the controllable rainfall to open the sluice gates and release water at the right time, reduce the water level, enhance the water storage potential of the reservoir, and prepare for extreme rainfall.
There are also some hidden dangers in the slope protection of the reservoir embankment, and the slope protection stone retaining wall has cracks and damage, but fortunately the situation is not serious.
Zhu Ping'an was eating pancakes while checking along the dam of the reservoir, and a piece of bread was quickly eaten.
Then, I rolled another pancake and ate it.
Liu Dadao found that the guide was looking at Zhu Ping'an with a curious expression, to be precise, watching Zhu Ping'an eat cakes.
"Fellow, what's wrong?"
Liu Dadao couldn't help but ask, didn't Childe also give you a cake, why did you keep staring at Childe.
"I'm just curious, shouldn't the county magistrate eat big fish and meat, mountains and seas? We know why the county lord didn't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, braved the rain and went into the mountains to check the reservoir, and ate the pancakes and pickles soaked in water. Isn't the county lord an official in vain? ”
The guide rubbed his hands together and asked curiously. He held back these words all the way, and when he heard Liu Dadao asking, he couldn't help but say them.
He was a little difficult to swallow when he ate this cake, but the county magistrate ate it in a big gulp, and it was quite fragrant.
How can you not be curious?!
"Hehe, what a Dundun mountain and sea delicacies, fellow, you have heard too many books. Since Gongzi arrived in Jingnan, he has never eaten a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he usually eats not much better than you. If you don't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, this official will be in vain? But pull it down, fellow, what you said is a corrupt official, and our son is not an official for happiness. ”
Liu Dadao couldn't help but shake his head.
