中新网广州5月20日电 (记者 王坚)据水利部珠江水利委员会(下称“珠江委”)20日消息，该委近日会同广西壮族自治区水利厅组织开展平陆运河航运用水保障成果审查，以切实做好平陆运河通航用水保障工作。
珠江委介绍，平陆运河是西部陆海新通道的骨干工程，对实现江海连通、陆海联动具有重要作用，预计今年9月正式全线通航。珠江委党组书记、主任吴小龙对此高度重视，专题研究部署，要求强化流域统一调度，做好平陆运河通航用水保障工作。
航运用水保障是平陆运河顺利通航、安全运行和长久发挥效益的关键，会议要求各部门各单位要通力协作，共同做好平陆运河通航用水保障工作。
会议指出，郁江流域水资源开发利用程度较高，区域用水紧张，既要满足流域内生活生产生态用水需求，又要统筹考虑流域外平陆运河、环北部湾地区的供水任务，水利、发电、交通等部门以及相关工程管理单位要顾全大局，统筹协调形成合力，服务区域重大战略实施。
同时，要全面分析论证航运用水保障风险，根据平陆运河近期用水需求，从水源性风险、工程调度风险、防洪安全等方面深入论证，提出针对性应对措施；加快推进南盘江—郁江引水工程开工建设，从根本上解决平陆运河远期用水需求。
此外，要强化统一调度。实施郁江流域水资源统一调度，是平陆运河近期用水保障的关键举措。相关行业主管部门和工程管理单位要严格执行水资源调度方案、调度计划和调度指令；平陆运河集团要加强相关基础研究，加快建设平陆运河调度运行智慧化管理平台，保障平陆运河航运用水安全。(完)
