    Introduction: Xinhuanet power JBP Xinhuanet power (Deng Weihua, reporter of Xinhua viewpoint), Qingyun, Wudi and Zhanhua, the three northernmost counties in Shandong Province, are now experiencing the most severe water shortage test in more than 50 years The situation of JBP province is not optimistic The water storage capacity of the reservoir is only 3.4 billion cubic meters, and the total water shortage is 8.1 billion cubic meters In the first half of the year, the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission allocated only 2.2 billion cubic meters of planned water to Shandong Province, 1.5 billion cubic meters less than the same period last year, due to the severe water supply conditions in the main reaches of the Yellow River On the afternoon of February 17, JBP, the reporter saw in the lokou section of the Yellow River that only the shortest water gauge used to measure the water level was still in the water, and several water gauges in turn had chapped under the sun Several rare boats were stranded on the bank, apparently not moving for a long time, and the shoals by the river had been dry for a long time According to the principle of "ensuring the continuous flow of the Yellow River, giving priority to the domestic water for the residents along the Yellow River, the water for the key industrial and mining enterprises, and the water for agriculture", the Shandong Yellow River Bureau worked out the water regulation scheme for the regions along the Yellow River from January to the first ten days of July at the end of January Guo Liquan, deputy director of flood control office of JBP Yellow River Estuary authority, said that if Shandong province continues to dry this year, the existing reservoir stock in Dongying City can ensure the domestic water for people and animals, but the production water, especially the agricultural water, will be difficult to guarantee He said that Dongying City has explored some good ways to save water in industry and agriculture For example, the water consumption of Shengli oil field, a former water user, has been greatly reduced after adopting oil-water separation technology For example, in 2002, Dongying city invested more than 400 million yuan in water-saving work to prevent channel leakage Li Gaolun, senior engineer of Shandong Yellow River Bureau of JBP, said that the most important thing to ensure the continuous flow of the Yellow River in the current and long term is to do a good job in the work of opening the source and reducing the flow In terms of open source, in the short term, the regions with conditions should adhere to the principle of "abundant storage and dry use", speed up the construction of plain reservoirs and water diversion supporting projects, and try to improve the utilization rate of water Some regions can do articles on groundwater, and reasonably allocate the proportion of water resources of the Yellow River and groundwater resources The potential for throttling is greater, says JBP Li Gaolun Last year, Shandong diverted about 5 billion cubic meters of water from the Yellow River for agricultural irrigation If the utilization rate of water is increased by 20%, the water saving will reach 1 billion cubic meters Therefore, the government should speed up the construction of agricultural water diversion projects, and gradually establish a market-oriented water price system to guide farmers to consciously save water; furthermore, the structural adjustment of planting and animal husbandry along the Yellow River Basin has become an urgent task jbP   jbP
