| Basic connotation of water conservancy modernization in rural areas include traditionalengineering constructions of water conservancy modernization in rural areas and economic and socialdevelopment contents, such as management systems and policy measures restricting, influencing, andsupporting agriculture and rural development.As a Material Production Department serving agriculture, rural water conservancy is relativelyindependent in production functions and production means, but its development direction, developmentmeans, development patterns, realization approaches, and assessment criterions are still restricted byeconomy and society in rural areas.Rural water conservancy is a development process where nature, technologies, economy, society,policies, custom, and culture in rural areas promote and restrict mutually. Water conservancymodernization in rural organization covers farm irrigation and drainage, living water, modification ofecological environment, flood control and drainage system construction and innovation of managementsystem. Therefore, water conservancy modernization in rural areas include boosting water conservancydevelopment in rural areas with advanced technologies, transforming traditional technologies of ruralwater conservancy with practical technologies, innovating water conservancy management mode inrural areas with modern management method, guiding rural water conservancy with ideas keeping pacewith the times, developing rural water conservancy with informationalized service system, evaluatingrural water conservancy with farm irrigation and drainage guarantee degree, promoting agriculturalwater saving, restraining rural water conservancy with water productivity and input and output of waterconservancy, and improving and specifying rural water conservancy with rural ecological environment,so as to realize rural water conservancy’s scientization in morphology, intensification in operation mode,socialization in evaluation criterion, persistence in development patterns, differentiation in area targets,and modernization in functions of rural water conservancy.The occurrence frequency of water conservancy modernization is high and people at home andabroad have made numerous researches on it, but it is difficult to give it scientific definition because ofdynamic and regional features of water conservancy modernization. Relatively typical connotationexpression: equip water conservancy with advanced technical equipment and materials, transform waterconservancy with modern technologies, manage water conservancy with modern scientific methods, andguide water conservancy with the idea of sustainable development.Main purposes of water conservancy modernization in rural areas in Huaian are to improve floodcontrol standard of Hongze Lake, farm drainage standard, probability of water supply in irrigated area indry year, and water quality standard of river ways in rural areas. Boost of water conservancymodernization construction in rural areas in Huaian are restrained by numerous factors because ofhistorical reasons and restriction of regional economic development level. In order to overcome thesebarriers, it is necessary to select progression patterns of water conservancy modernization in rural areasscientifically and pointedly. Such four types as demand type in economic development, restriction type in ecological environment, unit type in urban and rural overall development, and promotion type incomprehensive development can be selected as progression patterns of water conservancymodernization in rural areas in Huaian, according to realities of Huaian. It is necessary to improvedevelopment measures from ideological guarantees, scientific and technological guarantees, andmechanism guarantees.The research possesses innovative significances in research contents, research methods, andresearch achievements, but spaces for further refining the research are still large. In addition, thefollowing research contents shall be deepened further:Firstly, research on construction contents of Huaian flood control and security engineering systemunder the principle of harmony between people and water, and balance water conservancymodernization in urban and rural areas;Secondly, research on information control technologies and application for water resources optimalallocation in rural areas in Huaian and improve informatization of water resources utilization;Thirdly, research on water volume and quality combined dispatching and pollution reductiontechnologies in rural areas in Huaian and realize modernization of pollution control means;Fourthly, research ecological protection technologies of water conservancy in rural areas in Huaianand build ecological water conservancy modernization. |
