Similarity between Xiangjiang River Basin and Tennessee River Development and Management

1 1, (1)① Tennessee river basin is located in subtropical humid climate zone, with abundant rainfall, large river flow and abundant water resources; (2) The topography in the basin fluctuates greatly, the river gap is large, and hydropower resources are abundant; ③ There are abundant mineral resources such as coal, phosphorus and lead-zinc mine.

(2) Similarity: ① Based on water resources and land resources, from the perspective of flood control, comprehensive development and utilization are carried out by building various water conservancy facilities; (2) Vigorously develop hydropower resources in the basin; (3) Relying on the advantages of local resources to develop industries; ④ Vigorously develop inland river shipping; ⑤ Vigorously develop tourism, etc.

The differences are as follows: ① Before the development of Tennessee Valley, the economy was backward and the population was sparse, so there was no need for a large number of immigrants; The Yangtze River valley in China is economically developed, densely populated, and there are many coastal cities, which need millions of immigrants. (2) The cascade development of Tennessee River; The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China was once developed. (3) Unified management and overall planning for the whole Tennessee River basin; China still has the problem of administrative fragmentation. ④ The Tennessee River has a high degree of hydropower development, including thermal power and nuclear power, which has great shipping value; The hydropower development in the Yangtze River basin in China is low, and there is no thermal power and nuclear power, so the shipping value has not been well played and there is great potential. ⑤ Tennessee Valley has a high degree of tourism development and good environmental quality; The development of tourism resources and environmental management in the Yangtze River basin in China need to be strengthened urgently.

(3)① Further strengthen management and implement unified management and development of the whole basin; (2) Improve the development degree of hydropower resources; (3) Dredging rivers to improve the navigation capacity of river basins; (4) further improving the ecological environment of the basin; ⑤ Develop characteristic tourism.
