In the past few days, in the Zhangtang Village of Tianjiahe River, Wushan Town, Dean County,
large excavators were carrying out dredging operations in an orderly and orderly manner. The
claws of the excavator were digging the mud, gravel, reeds and other debris accumulated in
the river for many years. Then they used silt curtains for enclosing this mud, gravel and other
debris in order to easily clean up this debris. On both sides of the river, the two sides of the
river were leveled and compacted.
According to the villagers introduced that, the rivers such as Tianjiahe River and Wutaishui in
Wushan Town have not been dredged for more than 20 years. Over the years, the rivers are
overgrown with many silt, sand and litter, and the river siltation affects the normal function of
flood control, drainage, irrigation and other functions. Rural rivers not only bear the important
functions of agricultural irrigation and drainage, but also there are important carriers of the
ecological environment, which are closely related to rural economic and social development
and farmers' production and life.
In order to restore and enhance the function of the river and protect the ecological environment
of the river, recently, Wushan Town raised its own funds, organized the manpower and machinery
and equipment to launch a comprehensive project for the comprehensive improvement of river
dredging in the town for more than one month.
