长江流域河道堤防的防洪标准普遍较低，河道的行洪能力本来不高，河道设障情况却日益严重，清障工作也日益艰巨。通过对１９９８年长江流域河道重点清障工作进展情况的初步总结。得出河道清障工作的主要经验是：①领导重视是清障工作的关键；②依法行政是清障工作的基础；③落实责任是清障工作的保证；④检查督办是清障工作的有力措施。 Flood control standards for river embankments in the Yangtze River Basin are generally low. Flood-carrying capacity of the river channels was not high at the beginning. However, the barrier-breaking conditions of the river channels have become increasingly serious, and the work of getting rid of the wrecks has become more and more arduous. Through the preliminary summary of the progress of the key fault-clearing in the river courses in the Yangtze River Basin in 1998, The main experience gained in the work of riverbath fault clearance is that: ①the leadership attaches importance to the key to the work of obstacle clearance; ②the administration according to law is the basis for the work of obstacle clearance; ③the implementation of the responsibility is the guarantee for the work of eliminating the obstacles; ④ the inspection and supervision are the powerful Measures.
