    Project Overview: The comprehensive reform project of agricultural water prices in the Zhoujia irrigation area of Zhaoping County is located in the Zhoujia irrigation area of Zhaoping County, Guangxi. The irrigation area was originally designed to irrigate 14,000 acres, with an effective irrigation area of 9,500 acres. Due to the requisition of part of the irrigation area of the North Canal, the planned irrigation area for this implementation scheme is 11,300 acres, including 9,040 acres of rice, 1,469 acres of citrus, and 790 acres of other crops. It involves villages such as Huangyao Street Village, Bengjiang Village, Gongqiao Village, Bitou Village, Jianpan Village, Zhongdong Village, Xinzai Village, Baishan Village, Chunfu Village in Huangyao Town, and Jiatian Village in Zhangmulian Township.

    The work mainly involves: the construction of 49 new gate control points, 3 sets of precise integrated gates, 16 sets of conventional integrated gates, 30 sets of manual gates, 91 sets of water measurement facilities, 4 Doppler monitoring points, 46 rectangular weir monitoring points, and 41 standard cross-sections + water level gauge monitoring points. One centralized control center.
