At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhou Yang and Li Changqing returned to the Water Conservancy Bureau compound, many people from the Bureau had already arrived.
At that moment, Li Changqing immediately ordered eight technical backbones, and then formed a work team and rushed to Baofeng Reservoir.
At the same time, he also told the remaining people to be on standby and wait for notification!
The Water Conservancy Bureau has its own vehicles. Due to the large number of people, Li Changqing arranged for a 212 Jeep and a Dongfeng truck.
Zhou Yang and Li Changqing were sitting in the small jeep, while the technicians were all sitting in the big truck, including Zhou Yang's bicycle.
Baofeng Reservoir is less than thirty kilometers away from Yunshan County. Although the road is not very easy, we still arrived before two o'clock.
Li Changqing did not go to the reservoir management office, nor did he alert the staff here. Instead, he took the technical staff directly to the bottom of the dam.
Because of Zhou Yang's tip, the technical team of the Water Conservancy Bureau directly found the place where there was suspected seepage and inspected it.
You don’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be really shocked when you check it!
They thought it was just a minor problem, but when they arrived at the scene, they discovered that the problem was far more serious than they imagined.
After all, Zhou Yang is not a professional in water conservancy projects, so although he discovered the problem, he still had some deviations in his understanding.
However, the technical staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau are different. They deal with these dams every day. No one knows better than them what phenomena mean what problems, and what problems will lead to what results.
Judging from the situation at the bottom of the Baofeng Reservoir, this dam must have seen seepage, and there are more than one.
Although there is no obvious flow of water, it can turn such a large cement stone wall wet. Obviously, the situation inside is not optimistic.
In addition, the vegetation where the dam connects with the mountain was unusually lush, and technicians immediately sampled the soil there.
Later, I was surprised to find that the soil moisture in these places was obviously much higher than in other places, which meant that there was also seepage in this place.
Immediately, the technical team of the Water Conservancy Bureau immediately found tools and excavated these areas with wet soil.
The deeper they dug, the more frightened they became.
I saw that the soil below was very, very soft, as if it had been soaked in water. This showed that there was also a serious problem in the hidden soil of the dam.
"Director, the situation is not very optimistic!" Tian Ye, the head of the technical team, said with a solemn expression.
Li Changqing also studied water conservancy engineering, and he realized the seriousness of the problem without Tian Ye telling him.
It is said that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. Now the dam of Baofeng Reservoir is no longer a small ant nest, and the inside has even turned into briquettes.
You may not be able to see anything now, but once you encounter special natural weather, the consequences will be disastrous.
What's more serious is that once water enters the dam, the water will freeze and expand in winter, and then the cracks will expand, and the situation will be even more serious next year.
Therefore, Zhou Yang's previous statement that the dam was about to collapse was not an exaggeration at all. In fact... he even said it very euphemistically.
"Can it be remedied?" Li Changqing said in a deep voice.
"It depends on how serious the damage to the structure below is. If it's too serious, the only option is to blast, demolish, and rebuild!"
"Demolish and rebuild?"
Hearing this result, Li Changqing's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He knew the importance of this reservoir to Yunshan County. He thought that it took almost all the human and financial resources of hundreds of thousands of people in the county to build this reservoir.
Once demolished and rebuilt, let alone whether the county's finances can bear it, the people alone will not be able to accept it emotionally.
After all, this reservoir was built just over ten years ago, and something went wrong so quickly. The higher authorities must investigate the matter, and I don’t know how many people will be blamed next.
Tian Ye said solemnly: "Director, the dam in front of you has become a time bomb. If it cannot be repaired, it can only be dismantled, otherwise..."
"What else?"
"Otherwise, when this bomb suddenly explodes without our knowledge, tens of thousands of people in the more than 100,000 acres of farmland downstream will suffer!"
Li Changqing's face became even paler. Yes, the collapse of the reservoir dam was no joke.
There is a flat river downstream with no cover. Once the water in the reservoir rushes down, it will be enough to destroy everything!
More importantly, the design storage capacity of Baofeng Reservoir exceeds 800 million cubic meters, and based on the current water level, it has a storage capacity of at least 600 million cubic meters.
So much stored water poured out at once, and if the people downstream were not prepared at all, the number of casualties would not be as simple as ten or eight, but could be hundreds or thousands.
At that time, not only him, the water conservancy director, but also the main leaders of the county will be beaten to the end.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing immediately said: "Immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection of the inside and outside of the dam, and be sure to find out the actual situation of the dam!"
"yes!"
"In addition, report to the county immediately. In view of the extremely serious safety hazards in the Baofeng Reservoir dam, the water stored in the reservoir must be discharged. While seeking approval from the county, all communes and towns should do a good job in farmland irrigation. !”
"yes!"
After giving the order, Li Changqing felt that his back was soaked, and he didn't know whether it was because of heat or fear.
At the same time, his eyes looked at Zhou Yang with gratitude.
"Brother Zhou Yang, I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have really gotten into big trouble this time!"
When Li Changqing said this, he was really grateful to Zhou Yang.
After all, once the Baofeng Reservoir suddenly breaks its banks, he, the water conservancy director, will undoubtedly be the first responsible person. He will be held accountable and may be sentenced.
However, now that the problem has been discovered early, not only is he not at fault, but he has even done a great job by handling it.
After all, this reservoir was not built when he was in office. It means that this mess was left by others. However, he discovered major safety hazards and saved thousands of people. He must have merit.
“Ju Li’s words are serious, I’m just doing this with a little effort!”
Seeing that Li Changqing and others also realized the seriousness of the problem, Zhou Yang was also very happy. This was equivalent to saving the lives and property of tens of thousands of people.
More importantly, once the safety hazards of Baofeng Reservoir are eliminated, it will change the tragic fate of the father-in-law and his family.
The reason why the Li family suddenly fell to that point in the previous life was directly related to this reservoir.
Now that the hidden dangers of the reservoir have attracted the attention of the higher authorities, for the Li family, it is definitely a life-changing move.
Seeing that although Zhou Yang was young, he was neither greedy nor arrogant, and his calm character made Li Changqing like him more and more.
"Brother Zhou Yang, it's a pity to stay in a small mountain village with your ability. How about I recommend you to work in the county?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Li, for your kindness, but I still have to complete the tasks assigned above. I really can't get away from it. Let's talk about this later!"
"Okay, then let's..."
Before he finished speaking, a violent questioning voice suddenly came from the top of the dam: "Who are you, and what are you doing below the dam?"
