在西部大开发中,应十分重视加快黄河上游的沟壑治理步伐,尽力减少水土流失,减轻黄河中下游的压力。西北的黄土高原,山高谷深,沟壑纵横,不仅给人们生产、生活带来不便,还极易诱发旱涝等多种自然灾害。更为严重的是由于黄河上游的大量泥沙带向中下游,致使河床泥沙愈积愈高,埋下了洪涝灾害的祸根。解放后,党和国家高度重视黄河治理工作,黄河中下游的洪涝灾害基本得到控制。现在实施西部大开发,应该从深层次来研究问题。必须看到,黄河上游的治理还存在一些薄弱环节,即在众多沟壑治理上缺乏研究,更缺乏必 In the course of developing the west, we should attach great importance to speeding up the gully management in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, trying our best to reduce soil and water loss and relieve the pressure on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The Loess Plateau in the northwest is characterized by deep valleys and ravines, which not only bring inconvenience to people’s production and living, but also easily induce various natural disasters such as droughts and floods. More serious is due to the large amount of sediment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the middle and lower reaches, resulting in higher sediment deposition in the riverbed, laying the root cause of floods. After the liberation, the party and the state attached great importance to the management of the Yellow River. The floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were basically under control. Now that we have implemented the large-scale development of the western region, we should study the issue from a deeper level. We must realize that there are still some weak links in the governance of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, that is, there is a lack of research on the management of numerous gully areas and the lack of
