Hu Chunhua, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, supervised the work of drought resistance and bumper harvests in Jiangxi from 27 to 28. Jiangxi and other middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are important rice producing areas in China. Since July, there has been continuous high temperature and little rain, and the task of drought resistance and bumper harvest protection is very heavy. Hu Chunhua went to Xinjian District of Nanchang City, Yugan County of Shangrao City, Poyang County and Leping City of Jingdezhen city to go deep into the grain planting base, reservoirs, emergency drought relief stations and other sites to learn more about the drought and agricultural drought relief work. Hu Chunhua pointed out that it is necessary to give priority to ensuring the safety of drinking water for people and livestock and water for agricultural production, strengthen the scientific regulation of water sources, give full play to the role of water conservancy projects such as reservoirs, pumping stations, water diversion and distribution networks, and irrigation channels, and do everything possible to increase drought resistant water sources through various measures such as raising water for water diversion and drilling more pumping wells. Hu Chunhua stressed that it is necessary to scientifically study and judge the development trend of drought, strengthen classified guidance and technical services, and help farmers effectively resist drought and protect seedlings, and timely change and replant. It is necessary to strengthen the support of drought relief funds and materials, speed up the progress of fund allocation, do a good job in emergency supply of electricity and oil, and ensure the needs of drought relief and disaster reduction. Hu Chunhua pointed out that all localities and relevant departments should, in accordance with the arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, fully implement all grain production tasks. The affected areas should reduce production as little as possible, and the non affected areas should do their utmost to increase production, and strive to maintain the stability of grain production throughout the year.
