On October 5, the main body of the waterway dredging emergency project from the
Yuanling Country Panguxiang Yangxiji Town to the Dongjiaping Ferry was completed,
and the local villagers applauded.
In recent years, due to the serious sand mining phenomenon in the river channel, there
are obstacles to the airborne sands in the ferry route of the Yuanshui Yuanling section,
which has made the passenger vessels unable to pass normally. In particular, many
vessels in Dongjiaping and many villages were forced to suspend operations, seriously
affecting the normal travel of more than 1,300 local villagers. In April of this year, the
Yuanling Waterway Department of Hunan Changde Waterway Administration was
taken waterway dredging emergency project into the key poverty alleviation project
of water transportation, with a total investment of 735,000 Yuan, and it will dredge
200-meter ferry waterway to solve the problem of people's travel difficulties by using
silt curtains and dredger. Combined with the comprehensive ban project on mining
in Wuqiangxi National Wetland Park, the project was started on September 21 and
