“南水北调”是一项以解决北方地区水资源短缺为目标的特大型跨流域调水项目,是我国进入新世纪后即将实施的国家级重点工程,因而受到国内外各界人士的广泛关注。然而,这一项目的筹划和论证绝非一日之功,而是经历了一个漫长而曲折的过程。早在新中国成立之初,毛泽东主席就以重新安排旧山河的气魄和胆略,提出了“南水北调”的宏伟设想,尔后,这一设想即由有关部门开始研究论证,迄今已经历了半个世纪。其间,“南水北调”自筹划直到决定实施的历程,大致分为五个阶段。 The “South-to-North Water Diversion Project” is a large-scale inter-basin water transfer project that aims at solving the problem of water shortage in the northern region. It is a national-level key project that will be implemented soon after China enters the new century, and it has received extensive attention from people of all circles at home and abroad. However, the planning and argumentation of this project is by no means a day’s work, but it has experienced a long and tedious process. As early as the founding of New China, Chairman Mao Zedong proposed the grand concept of “South-to-North Water Transfer” by rearranging the courage and boldness of the old mountains and rivers. Later, this idea was initiated by the relevant departments to study and prove. So far it has been half a century. . During this period, the “South-to-North Water Transfer Project” has been roughly divided into five stages since it planned to implement the process.
