The flood retention basins in Zhejiang Province play a pivotal role in safeguarding the flood control safety of the river basin and the region. However

the construction and administration of some flood retention basins lag behind the actual needs

the problems such as incomplete engineering facilities system

failure to establish compensation mechanisms for flood diversion losses

and new-added development functional requirements

becoming one of the weak links in the flood control system of the river basin. It is imperative to achieve a balance between development and safety by enhancing the engineering facility system

optimizing the layout of flood retention basins

strengthening internal construction control

establishing flood diversion compensation mechanisms

and promoting the coordinated development of multiple objectives. This can help us fully leverage the role of flood retention basins in flood control and disaster reduction and effectively safeguard the high-quality economic and social development of the river basin.
