What is the Great West Line Water Diversion Project?

The so-called "West Route to the North" is a water conservancy scheme put forward by Guo Kai, a retired water conservancy expert, to save China with * * * water. It is suggested to divert water from the Yarlung Zangbo River at an altitude of 3580 meters to the north and flow into the Yellow River. The water quality, water quantity, cost and benefit area are all better than the current scheme. What China lacks most is water. The water that can quench China's thirst may be * * *. 1 18 General and more than 700 experts and scholars complained to * * * for many times, demanding to start the "West Line Water Diversion Project" to save the arid China with * * * water. This concept reveals Beijing's grand strategic intention of "recreating China". Since China's traffic with Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia has always relied too much on the Straits of Malacca, the water transfer project on the west line has important strategic significance in helping to open a direct channel to the Indian Ocean. This move not only caused domestic controversy, but also attracted the attention of neighboring countries. However, for major projects involving the national economy and people's livelihood, relying only on theoretical analysis and limited geological survey will inevitably be questioned. The "Great West Line Water Diversion Project" is bigger than the Three Gorges Project and should be a national project. The water transfer project on the west line is still under study, so it has not been built yet! Photo reference:. Yimg/I/icon/16/33 During the two sessions in March, 2006, general committee member and a group of delegates and committee members jointly put forward the proposals and suggestions of "West Line Project", or expounded the concept of "West Line Water Diversion Project" at the group meeting. On March 8, Guo Kai, a water conservancy expert, came to the home of An Qiyuan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. An Qiyuan, the same age as Guo Kai, was once the secretary of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the chairman of Shaanxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference. He submitted a proposal to solve the water problem in Shaanxi for eight consecutive years at the CPPCC meeting. Guo Kai introduced the water transfer project on the west line to An Qiyuan. An Qiyuan said, "The water problem is the bottleneck of Shaanxi's development. I hope that the water on the Great West Line will enter Shaanxi as soon as possible. In March 2006, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission * * * went to the hospital to visit his old superior and former political commissar General Liu Zhenhua, and Liu Zhenhua specifically talked about the response caused by the newly published book * * * Saving China with Water and the Western Front Project. * * Hearing this, he said that water use in China is a big problem and must be supported. In the second half of 2005, Zheng Xinli, director and deputy director of the Political Policy Research Office of the Central Committee, met with Guo Kai and others to learn about the private operation of the West Line Water Diversion Project and put forward opinions such as "strengthening public opinion propaganda". Afterwards, Zheng Xinli repeatedly asked about the arrangement of the seminar on "Saving China with Water" and said that he would attend. Before 1970s, urban water shortage in Chinese mainland only appeared in some regions and years. After 1970s, the number of water-deficient cities has been increasing. By the early 1990s, more than 300 cities in Chinese mainland were short of water. China is recognized as one of the countries with the poorest per capita water resources in the world. At present, the total amount of fresh water resources in China is about 2.8 trillion cubic meters, ranking fourth in the world, but the average per capita is only 2,300 cubic meters, only a quarter of the world average, ranking first in the world 12 1. 1998, in the late 1980s, Guo Kai put forward the idea of "transporting water to the west of Shuotian River", and 1994 put forward a relatively complete scheme of "water transfer project to the west". It is planned to open a canal from Shoematan to Tianjin to divert the Yarlung Zangbo River to the northwest, north and northeast, with a total water regulation of 206 billion cubic meters, equivalent to the annual flow of four Yellow Rivers. 1998, instructed Guo Kai to write the "Scheme" of the West Line Water Diversion Project, which is a century-old project, and must be considered from a long-term perspective, comprehensively considered, scientifically selected and carefully planned. In the same year, drafted by * * * and Wang Zhongyu, in the name of the General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, the Notice of Comrades on Important Instructions on China's Water Resources Issues was distributed to all walks of life in the form of documents. Prime minister * * * and vice premier also gave instructions. Zhu organized more than 40 experts to hold an academic seminar on "West Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer". Zhu ordered the formation of an expert investigation team and awarded1000000 yuan, requesting to verify the scheme through field investigation. Through this investigation, the members of the expedition team came to the following conclusions: First, there are sufficient resources. The Yarlung Zangbo River, Nujiang River, Lancang River, Jinsha River, Yalong River and Dadu River are not only rich in water resources, but also vast in land and sparsely populated, with good water quality and no pollution. Second, the water transfer route is smooth. The core of the idea of "South-to-North Water Transfer" on the Great Western Line is "Water flows from high places to low places". The water flows eastward from the height of the Ma Shuo Beach Dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River, and its height gradually decreases. Through aqueduct, tunnel and inverted siphon, "five rivers and one river" are connected, which can lead water to the Yellow River near Tangke Town, Sichuan Province. Third, although the project is large, it is relatively easy, with less immigrants, less cultivated land, short construction period, less investment and outstanding comprehensive benefits. Experts of the expedition believe that China is fully capable in terms of current technical strength and level. In 2002, when he presided over a central working conference, he said that the water problem in China today is very serious. " It is logical to transfer water from the west line and develop the west. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of socialism in concentrating on doing great things, concentrate on building water transfer projects on the western line, and promote the large-scale development of the western region. In 2004, he also said that it was "a good thing" to study and demonstrate the west route project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. * * * So much water flows out in vain, we must intercept it reasonably and lead it to northwest and north China. "This is our responsibility. "The topographical basis of the idea of the Great West Line Water Transfer Project is that the southwest with water is high, and the northwest and north China lacking water are gradually decreasing. Tilting from south to north is beneficial to interregional water transfer; The plan is to build a dam on Ma Shuo Beach of Yarlung Zangbo River, connecting Nujiang River, Lancang River, Jinsha River, Yalong River and Dadu River, reaching Aba, Sichuan, entering the Yellow River, connecting Qinghai Lake, following the Yellow River to Inner Mongolia, passing through Daihe River, entering Yongding River, arriving in Beijing, and entering Bohai Sea from Tianjin. The waterway starts from Beitang, Tianjin, passes through Beijing, Datong, Daihai, Baotou and Yinchuan to Lanzhou, and transits through the hub port of Daliushu Reservoir. The Hexi Corridor is used to extend the waterway to Xinjiang, go abroad, connect with international canals, and open to West Asia and Western Europe. The total length of the trunk line is 7 189 km. In addition to the trunk lines, there are branches and branches connecting Yarlung Zangbo River, Nujiang River, Lancang River, Pearl River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, Haihe River and Songhua River, which flow through 18 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. At present, the Ministry of Water Resources is carrying out the "South-to-North Water Transfer Project" of the Yangtze River Water Transfer Project. After the idea of "South-to-North Water Transfer" was put forward in 1950s, after decades of research, the overall layout was to transfer water from the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, namely, the west, middle and east lines of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. After completion, it will be interconnected with the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River, forming the overall pattern of "four horizontals and three verticals, north-south configuration and east-west mutual assistance" in China. The construction time is about 40 to 50 years. Guo Kai, Li Ling and others think that the "three-line water transfer" is significantly different from their "Great West Line Water Storage Scheme": First, the water intake points are different, the "three-line water transfer" takes water from the Yangtze River, while the "Great West Line Scheme" takes water from the Yarlung Zangbo River, Nujiang River and Lancang River; Second, the amount of water diversion is different, and the Yangtze River is limited, so the "Great West Line" transfers water. Third, the project cost, the "third-line water transfer" needs 400 billion yuan, while the "big west line" needs 250 billion yuan; Fourth, the water quality is different. The water quality in the east line is seriously polluted, and the water quality in the middle line is better, but it is not as clean as * * * *; Fifth, the benefit areas are different, and the "Great West Line" can widely benefit the north; Sixth, it was "big" in the autumn of 2005, the report of the National Development and Reform Commission "Water Transfer on the West Line-Strategic Choice of Energy in China" was sent by Xinhua News Agency to * * *. The report emphasizes that it is necessary to speed up the start of the West Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer and expand the scale of water transfer. However, Sichuan province rebounded strongly in the water diversion area of the western line project. Lu, a researcher of Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, submitted a report entitled "The West Route Project of South-to-North Water Diversion Needs Careful Decision-making" to Premier the State Council. He believes that there are serious problems in the feasibility, effectiveness and economic rationality of the western line project, and the project should be considered in the long run and should not be started in a hurry. He suggested that the West Line project be suspended, and the report was approved. Some studies predict that after 2020, the Yangtze River itself will be short of water. Therefore, many experts and scholars urgently proposed to the Central Committee that the middle-line water transfer project should stop or not cross the Yellow River, and must find a more reliable water source to solve the water crisis in Beijing. On June 30th, 2005, the 257th Xiangshan Symposium organized by China Academy of Sciences was held in Beijing Xiangshan Hotel, attended by more than 40 academicians and experts. The consensus reached through discussion is that the total amount of South-to-North Water Transfer Project in the master plan should be at least tripled on the basis of the current 44.8 billion cubic meters, so as to ensure the sustained, comprehensive and healthy development of northern China. However, many scholars and experts also believe that it is impossible to get correct results and form a unified understanding of major projects involving the national economy and people's livelihood, such as "West Route Water Transfer", only by theoretical analysis and limited geological survey. The solution of major technical problems needs to rely on engineering experiments of corresponding scale, otherwise the project will fall into endless disputes. Democratization of decision-making means listening to opinions from all sides as much as possible in the decision-making process. Usually, the larger the project scale, the more differences of opinion, and the opinions of laymen can not be ignored. Yoki king picture reference:. yimg/I/icon/ 16/5
