Is it necessary to go through land acquisition procedures to build reservoirs in history?

As far as I know, whether it is necessary to go through land acquisition procedures for reservoir construction in history may be different in different periods and under different laws, regulations and policies.

In some early reservoir construction projects, there may be cases of unapproved construction or imperfect land use procedures. In this case, according to the current laws, regulations and policies, it is necessary to go through the land acquisition procedures, including but not limited to land acquisition approval, land requisition, land compensation and resettlement.

In addition, according to the provisions of Article 48 of the Land Management Law, fair and reasonable compensation should be given for land expropriation, so as to ensure that the original living standards of landless farmers will not be reduced and ensure their long-term livelihood. Therefore, in the process of land acquisition for reservoir construction, land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies should be paid in full and on time according to law to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers are guaranteed.

In a word, whether it is necessary to go through land acquisition procedures for reservoir construction in history needs to be judged according to specific conditions and current laws, regulations and policies. If it is not approved or the procedures for land use are incomplete, it shall go through the formalities in accordance with the relevant provisions.
