甘肃省地处黄河上游的黄土高原、内蒙古高原和青藏高原交汇处,省人均水资源量为1100立方米,仅为全国人均水平的47%;年均降水量仅302毫米,蒸发量却达1000-3000毫米。农业基础脆弱,群众生产生活条件严酷。群众生产生活用水主要靠家庭水窖的蓄水解决,各级政府的救灾任务十分繁重。 Gansu Province is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the Loess Plateau, Inner Mongolia plateau and the Tibetan Plateau Interchange, the province’s per capita water resources of 1100 cubic meters, only 47% of the national average; the average annual rainfall of only 302 millimeters, but the evaporation has reached 1000 -3000 mm. The agricultural foundation is fragile and the people’s production and living conditions are harsh. The production and consumption of water by the masses mainly rely on the storage of domestic water cellars, and the tasks of relief at all levels of government are very heavy.
