在生态环境部近日召开的例行新闻发布会上，有关负责人透露了"十五五"时期水生态环境保护工作的变 化：国家监测网络布局方面，将在继续关注大江大河的同时更多向江河支流、小微水体拓展，优化增加 200多个河流二三级支流、小微水体断面；在水生态环境目标设置上，将从单纯的"好Ⅲ水质比例"向综 合的"优良水体比例"转变，在关注水环境理化指标的同时加入水生态相关指标。 这些变化，体现的是今后一个时期水生态环境保护工作在思路和重点上的深入调整。增加支流、小微水 体监测断面，是为了更好反映人民群众身边水体的状况；增加水生态相关指标，是为了给水生态环境进 行由外到内的全面"体检"，促使各地更有针对性地采取治理和保护措施。通过目标之变，能够在"十五 五"新起点上充分发挥考核"指挥棒"的引领作用，带动水生态环境保护工作取得新成效。 "十四五"时期，通过全社会的真抓实干，我国水生态环境保护工作取得了有目共睹的成绩。从2015年到 2024年，全国地表水水质Ⅰ类—Ⅲ类断面比例提高了25.9个百分点。今年上半年，全国地表水水质Ⅰ类 —Ⅲ类断面比例达到89%，大幅度优于"十四五"规划确定的目标。但与此同时，还有一些未纳入监测和 考核目标范围的 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent extreme weather events, particularly the flash floods in Inner Mongolia, highlight the urgent need for a robust disaster prevention system in the face of increasing rainfall and flooding in traditionally arid northern regions [1][2]. Group 1: Flood Risk Characteristics - Northern cities are experiencing unprecedented rainfall, which, while appearing abnormal, aligns with historical hydrological cycles, indicating a shift from drought to a period of increased precipitation since 2012 [2]. - The distribution of this year's rainfall has been more regional and scattered, affecting areas that are not adequately covered by existing flood prevention measures [2][3]. Group 2: Flood Prevention Strategies - The concept of "giving way to water" is emphasized, suggesting the construction of sunken parks and artificial lakes to serve as temporary flood retention areas during extreme weather events [1][4]. - A call for enhanced public education on flood risks and disaster preparedness is made to improve societal awareness and response capabilities [1][4]. Group 3: Evolution of Flood Management - The flood management system in China has evolved significantly since the 1998 Yangtze River floods, with a focus on large rivers initially, followed by attention to smaller rivers and urban flood management in recent years [4][5]. - The "sponge city" concept has been developed to integrate urban water management systems, but it is acknowledged that it has limitations in extreme weather scenarios [5][6]. Group 4: Infrastructure and Standards - Current urban flood prevention standards are fragmented across different departments, leading to inconsistencies in flood management strategies [7][8]. - The reduction of natural water retention areas due to urban development has exacerbated flood risks, necessitating a reevaluation of urban planning and flood management practices [7][8]. Group 5: Community Involvement and Awareness - Public participation in flood prevention, such as clearing drainage systems and preparing emergency supplies, is crucial for mitigating small-scale flooding [12][13]. - There is a need for increased public awareness regarding flood risks, particularly in northern regions where such events are less frequent, to prevent tragedies like the recent flash flood incident [12][13][14].
