DroughtSeriously, the South Water Bureau drilled 50 more wells along the Gaoping River, of which 28 wells are located in Pingtung County. At that time, the water intake will be about 74,000 tons per day, and construction of 14 wells has already started.Governor of Pingtung CountyZhou ChunmiI learned today that Zhou Chunmi angrily criticized that the Nanshui Bureau of the Water Resources Department did not know that the local government would dig a well.
The Ping County government pointed out that in the drought emergency plan of the Water Conservancy Department in the south, if the drought continues, wells will be drilled on both sides of the Gaoping River. Regarding water for agricultural irrigation, it is emphasized that whether to grant water rights will depend on whether Pingdong has enough water to make a decision.
The county government pointed out that unexpectedly, because Gaoping River is a centrally managed river, the South Water Bureau independently approved the construction plan for drilling wells in accordance with the Water Conservancy Law, and 14 wells have been dug along the Gaoping River.
Zhou Chunmi emphasized that this kind of behavior is like a sneak attack, which is unacceptable. She immediately called Lai Jianxin, director of the Water Conservancy Director, and asked to stop work! He also warned the Water Conservancy Department that the right to approve water rights is still in the county government, and the county government will absolutely not allow it if it endangers the water supply of Pingtung County.
Lai Jianxin promised to come to explain the process, hoping to obtain local understanding and ensure local water use.
