Tumote Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, stated that the weather has been continuously hot and dry recently, and villagers upstream of the water supply network of the water plant are watering their own vegetable gardens, which requires a large amount of water. In addition, the power supply station has recently limited voltage, which is not enough to drive the water pump to work, and the normal operation of the water plant equipment is limited, resulting in difficulties for villagers to drink water.

Wang Zhonggang, member of the Standing Committee of the Tumote Left Banner and Executive Deputy Banner Leader, stated that the most important thing at this stage is to ensure that everyone has access to water and to promptly stop the waste of water resources.
Wang Zhonggang: What we need to solve immediately is the problem of waste, because it is the upstream that causes water shortage in the downstream. We need to manage the upstream well, and the leaders in the banner will be responsible for the township, the cadres in the town will be responsible for the village, and the cadres in the village will be responsible for the household. We can solve some problems of waste in watering the garden while ensuring that the residents have water and can irrigate it reasonably. But it is not allowed to use tap water that people drink to irrigate a larger area of the garden. For some villages facing difficulties in drinking water at the end of the water supply network of water plants during the peak summer water use period, Tumote Left Banner stated that the following measures will be taken:
Adopting a segmented and segmented water supply system. According to the distribution of water supply pipelines in the water plant, each water plant is divided into two sections for water supply, with each section supplying water every other day. The water plant notifies each benefiting village committee of the specific water use period through WeChat groups, and the village committee notifies the villagers of the specific water use period.
Three levels of linkage work together to solve water resource waste. The establishment of Baolian Baimiaozi Town is led by the Deputy Banner Commander in charge, Baolian Baimiaozi Town officials, and various villages in Baimiaozi Town. The village committee is specifically responsible for household inspection, stopping water resource waste behaviors found, and solving water resource waste problems.
