特殊的气候条件、地理环境和复杂的社会历史原因,使淮河流域成为举世闻名的重灾区。在毛主席“一定要把淮河修好”的伟大号召鼓舞下,党和政府治淮历经46个春秋,淮河流域现已初步形成了防洪、排涝、灌溉、发电、航运等工程体系。特别是“八五”治淮已初见成效,流域抗灾能力进一步增强,社会效益、经济效益十分显著。 Due to the special climatic conditions, geographical environment and complex social and historical reasons, the Huaihe River Basin has become a world famous hardest hit. Encouraged by the great call of Chairman Mao’s “Huaihe River must be repaired,” the party and the government have undergone 46 years of harnessing the Huaihe River. The Huaihe River Basin has now formed an engineering system of flood control, drainage, irrigation, power generation and shipping. In particular, the “Eighth Five-Year Plan” for controlling the Huai River has achieved initial success, and the resilience of the river basin has been further strengthened. The social and economic benefits are remarkable.
