梅西水库地处广东省梅县西北部。该地区是山区中的山区，交通不便，信息闭塞，由于可耕地少，农民生活水平低，经济发展缓慢。因此，梅州市市委、市政府赋予梅西水库管理局特殊的行政职能——带领库区两个农村管理区农民脱贫致富。管理局领导认为，库区落后，首先是观念的落后 Mexi Reservoir is located in the northwest of Mei County, Guangdong Province. The area is a mountainous area in the mountains, with inconvenient traffic and obstructed information. Due to the lack of arable land, the living standard of the peasants is low and the economic development is slow. Therefore, the Meizhou City Party Committee and the municipal government gave Meixi Reservoir Authority special administrative functions to lead the farmers in the two rural management areas of the reservoir area out of poverty. The leaders of the Authority believe that the backwardness of the reservoir area is the first step behind the concept.
