In recent years, Yongchang County has always practiced the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", adhered to the development strategy of "ecological county" unswervingly, and made every effort to fight the "seven major battles" of ecological civilization construction.

The reporter learned from the relevant departments that, according to incomplete statistics, the total area of ecological forests in the county is 96,200 mu, including 55,200 mu in the well irrigation area and 41,000 mu in the river irrigation area; According to the standard of 550 cubic meters per mu of forest land in well irrigation area and 330 cubic meters per mu of forest land in river irrigation area, the total ecological water demand is 43.89 million cubic meters. In 2024, 28,752,500 cubic meters of ecological water will be allocated.
The demand for ecological water is much greater than the "supply". In the face of this situation, Yongchang County has innovated and implemented the long-term mechanism of "five stricts and five determinations" to comprehensively strengthen the management and protection of forest resources, established the "three systems" of scattered forest management and protection, accurately formulated the "seven strict" measures for ecological water conservation, introduced the management measures for the construction of farmland shelterbelts, implemented the grid management and protection model, and carried out the special action of irrigation and tending in all fields, and made every effort to remedy, guarantee the whole process, and comprehensively manage and protect the forest resources.
