“九五”期间,桃曲坡水库管理局各项事业取得长足发展,灌溉效益逐年提高,千亩果园建设成效显著,综合经营实现突破,精神文明再创佳绩。尤其是为解决铜川市工农业生产及居民生活用水矛盾,自1993年5月开始兴建马栏河引水工程,该工程由枢纽、隧洞、出口渠道三部分组成。横穿老爷岭的万米隧洞是工程的主体。隧洞工程以其洞线长、断面小、埋深大、涌水多、地质复杂、塌方剧烈堪称陕西水利史上最艰巨、最具挑战性的重点水利工程。经过六年苦战,于1998年9月28日提前3个月建成通水,由此40万铜川人民彻底告别了水荒。在六年浴血奋战的岁月里,桃曲坡人与寂寞为伴,同险恶斗争,以超越生命的承受和付出,用 During the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period, the management of the Taoqupo Reservoir Authority achieved considerable development, the irrigation efficiency increased year by year, and the construction of a thousand acres of orchards achieved remarkable results. The comprehensive operation achieved breakthroughs, and spiritual civilization scored another great success. In particular, in order to solve the contradiction between industrial and agricultural production and residential water use in Tongchuan City, construction of the Ma Lan River water diversion project began in May 1993. The project consists of a hub, a tunnel, and an export channel. The 10,000 meters tunnel across Laoye Ridge is the main body of the project. The tunnel project is characterized by its longest hole length, small cross section, large depth of burial, high water inflow, complex geology, and fierce landslide. It is the most difficult and challenging water conservancy project in the history of water conservancy in Shaanxi. After six years of hard work, it was completed three months ahead of schedule on September 28, 1998. As a result, 400,000 Tongchuan people completely bid farewell to the water shortage. During the six years of bloody battles, the people of Taoqupo and loneliness were accompanied by sinister struggles to surpass the endurance and pay of life.
