黄土高原地区的人民群众在长期的生产实践中完成了淤地坝的创造。这一独特的沟道水土保持措施,在滞洪、拦泥和淤地中发挥了重要作用。星罗棋布于各级沟道中的淤地坝,对于减少入黄泥沙、改善农村生产生活条件、促进群众脱贫致富奔小康作用巨大。群众说“打坝如修仓,拦泥如积粮,村有百亩坝,再旱也不怕”。 The people of the Loess Plateau have completed the creation of silt dams in long-term production practices. This unique channel of soil and water conservation measures has played an important role in flood detention, siltation and siltation. Dotted around the silt dams at all levels of the channel, it is of tremendous significance for reducing the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River, improving rural productive and living conditions, and helping the people to get out of their poverty. The masses said, “Dams such as repairing warehouses, blocking mud, such as plot grain, villages have a hundred mu dams, and then droughts are not afraid.”
