山西省是国家确定的煤炭能源重化工基地,富煤多矿是有利条件,缺水和水土流失严重则是限制因素。在全省113个县(区)中,有68个县(区)有煤,探明储量2,023.7亿吨,工业储量890.7亿吨。目前年开采量1.4亿吨,规划到2000年,年开采量达4.0亿吨。除煤之外,铁、铜、硫磺、石棉等矿藏资源也很丰富。全省多年平均河川径流量114亿立方米,地下水排泄量28亿立方米,水资源总量142亿立方米,可利用水量80亿立方米。每人平均水量477立方米,亩平均水量199立方米,分别比全国平均值少82.8%和88.7%。全省总土地面积15.62万平方公里,水土流失 Shanxi Province is a coal-energy heavy chemical industry base set by the state. Coal-rich mines are favorable conditions and water and soil erosion are the limiting factors. Among the 113 counties (districts) in the province, 68 counties (districts) have coal with proven reserves of 202.37 billion tons and industrial reserves of 89.07 billion tons. The current annual production of 140 million tons, planning to 2000, the annual exploitation of 400 million tons. In addition to coal, iron, copper, sulfur, asbestos and other mineral resources are also very rich. The province’s average annual river runoff of 11.4 billion cubic meters, 2.8 billion cubic meters of groundwater discharge, water resources total 14.2 billion cubic meters, the amount of available water 8 billion cubic meters. The average water volume per person is 477 cubic meters and the average volume of mu is 199 cubic meters, 82.8% and 88.7% less than the national average respectively. The province’s total land area of ​​156,200 square kilometers, soil erosion
