今年春夏,我国气候反常。东北、西北、华北发生特大旱灾,一些地区是百年一遇的大旱,夏粮绝收,成千上万的村庄人畜饮水困难。就连北京、天津、沈阳等大都市,水库和地下水位也急剧下降,水荒严重。不仅有识之士,连普通市民也在呼吁:尽快南水北调,以救干渴之急。 This spring and summer, China’s climate is anomalous. In the northeast, northwest and north China, a severe drought occurred. In some areas, the once-in-a-century drought hit the summer grain crops and drinking water was difficult in thousands of villages. Even Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang and other metropolises, the reservoir and groundwater level also dropped sharply, water shortage was serious. Not only people of insight, but also ordinary citizens are also calling for a quick turnaround of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
