一、山西的水资源问题山西地处黄土高原的东缘,地形复杂,气候干旱,降水稀少,水资源极为贫乏,人均占有水量573立米,是全国人均水量低于600立米的四个省之一。目前全省水源工程的供水能力为63.6亿立米(包括外引黄河水2.43亿立米),而总的需水量已超过70亿立米。1980年以来,农业每年为工业让水近1亿立米,农田灌溉面积减少了250万亩。1985 I. Problems of Water Resources in Shanxi Shanxi is located on the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau. Due to its complex terrain, arid climate, scarce precipitation and extremely poor water resources, Shanxi Province has a per capita water volume of 573 cubic meters, one of the four provinces with per capita water consumption below 600 cubic meters . At present, the water supply capacity of water resources projects in the province is 6.36 billion cubic meters (including 243 million cubic meters of water is introduced from the Yellow River), while the total water demand has exceeded 7 billion cubic meters. Since 1980, agriculture has produced nearly 100 million cubic meters of water for industry and 2.5 million acres of irrigated farmland each year. 1985
