江苏省地处三大水系下游,全省85％的土地是平原坡地,靠堤防保护防洪安全,靠河道排洪排涝并输送水源。各级党委、政府历来对防洪阵地的安全给予了高度重视,河道、堤防、涵闸、水库、泵站管理单位的职工,为此做了大量的工作,为农业增产和国民经济的发展做出了贡献。回顾八十年代河道管理工作,我们取得了新的进展,积累了新的经验。一、更新传统观念,征收防洪工程维护费,为实现工程管理的良性循环找到了路子。从“水利是农业的命脉”到“水利是国民经济的命脉”,这是认识上的一次更新;从“水利为社会”到“社会办水利”则是认识上的又一次大的更新。征收防洪工程维护费是为了全社会的安全,应理 Jiangsu Province is located in the lower reaches of the three major river systems. 85% of the province’s land is plains slope, rely on the dike to protect flood control safety, rely on river flood discharge and water delivery.

Workers and staff of watercourses, embankments, culverts, reservoirs and pumping station management units have done a great deal of work for this purpose and have made great contributions to agricultural production increase and national economic development contribution.
