As critical infrastructure for flood control and food security

large-and medium-sized irrigation and drainage pumping stations are central to advancing high-quality water conservancy development in the new era. Standardizing the construction and management of these stations has become an essential strategy for improving overall performance and sustainability. This paper investigates the current status of such pumping stations in Guangdong Province

identifies key challenges in the standardization process

and analyzes their root causes. In response

this paper proposes a series of targeted measures

including upgrading outdated equipment

enhancing the safety and operational standards of pumping stations

improving and standardizing management systems

beautifying the station premises and surrounding environment

improving the professional competence of station management personnel

optimizing station signage and identification systems

standardizing all operational and maintenance record-keeping

strengthening inspection routines and regular maintenance

ensuring sufficient funding for operation and maintenance

advancing the digitalization of station management

enhancing training efforts for standardized station development

and promoting phased implementation of standardization initiatives. These strategies are intended to serve as practical references for advancing the standardized construction and management of pumping stations nationwide.
