来源：新华网 新华社北京1月24日电（记者于文静）— 目前，全国已全面建立湖长制。2019年，水利部将指导督促地方压实湖长职责，强化督导考核，促进湖泊面貌持续改善，推动湖长制从“有名”到“有实”转变。 记者24日从水利部全面建立湖长制新闻通气会上了解到，我国湖长制体系逐步建立健全，在1.4万个湖泊（含人工湖泊）设立省、市、县、乡四级湖长2.4万名，其中85名省级领导担任最高层级湖长。此外，还设立村级湖长3.3万名。 “各地各部门将湖长制纳入河长制工作体系，统一部署安排、推进落实和检查考核。”水利部副部长魏山忠在会上表示，各级湖长召开湖长会议，实地巡湖调研，务实开展河湖“清四乱”专项行动，实施湖泊管理保护专项行动。 据统计，各地实地巡湖调研超过30万人次。河南、江苏、湖北、宁夏等省份省级总河长带头巡查重要湖泊，现场督办湖泊突出问题，带动各级湖长守护“责任田”。2018年，安徽、云南等省各级湖长巡湖人均超过15次，福建、广东等省各级湖长巡湖分别发现问题873个、1098个，督促及时整改落实，推动湖泊面貌好转。 魏山忠表示，在全面推行河长制的基础上，在湖泊实施湖长制，对湖泊进行更严格、更有针对性的管理保护，取得初步成效。有的地方实施生态补水，改变湖泊常年干涸状况；有的地方实施退圩还湖，有效增加水面面积；有的地方实施水岸同治，水质恶化趋势有效遏制；有的地方建设亲水生态岸线，人民群众的获得感、幸福感不断提升。 下一步，水利部将指导督促地方压实湖长职责，打好河湖“清四乱”攻坚战，2019年年底前基本完成集中清理整治。指导加快湖泊管理范围划定工作，严格湖泊空间管控，坚持山水林田湖草系统治理，编制“一湖一策”，对湖泊实施精细化、网格化管理。同时，健全常态化暗访机制，强化问题整改和责任追究，指导地方加强湖长考核结果应用，进一步督促湖长履职尽责。
