Abstract:Small-sized II reservoirs in Wulian County play a critical role in the local water system. However, problems such as aging engineering facilities, unscientific operation and dispatch management, and damage to the surrounding ecological environment have emerged during their management and operation. Based on the Guidelines for Health Assessment of Rivers and Lakes (Trial), this paper establishes an indicator model and conducts an investigation and assessment to 131 small-sized II reservoirs in Wulian County. The results show that 5.34% of the reservoirs are in a "very healthy" state, 79.39% "healthy", 11.45% "sub-healthy", 2.29% "unhealthy", and 1.53% "poor". In response to these problems, suggestions are put forward from the aspects of water and shoreline management and protection, water resources management and protection, water pollution prevention, water environment and water ecological restoration, flood and drought disaster prevention, and improvement of daily management capacity, so as to promote the improvement of water ecological environment and rural revitalization.
