广东省深汕特别合作区北坑水库及其配套输水工程大坝填筑于9月29日正式启动。 As a core project for regional water resources protection, this project is planned to be completed in 2028. By then, it will effectively solve the local water shortage problem, improve flood prevention and disaster reduction capabilities, and assist rural revitalization.

Li Guoying, China's Minister of Water Resources, said that due to the impact of climate change, China's extreme flood disasters are showing a trend of "one increase and three random events". This year, the water conservancy department has effectively reduced flood losses through reservoir dispatching and other measures. In the future, it will accelerate the modernization of flood control safety systems and capabilities to cope with uncertainties.
