联合国确定2003年为国际淡水年。进入21世纪,最突出的环境问题应是水资源匮乏。水资源严重不足,供需矛盾尖锐,将导致许多国家的经济发展举步艰难。根据统计,全球80多个国家约15亿人口面临淡水供应不足,其中29个国家的4.5亿人口完全生活在缺水状态之中。我国目前的水资源形势相当严峻,尤其是在北方地区,有120余个城市缺水,至少50个城市严重缺水。2002年夏季,黄河断流处已上延至河南省境内。黄河流域地区人均水资源占有量仅为501立方米,不足全国平均水平的1/5,只有世界人均水平的1/16。在全球11个最贫水国
The United Nations established 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater. In the 21st century, the most prominent environmental problem should be the lack of water resources. The serious shortage of water resources and the sharp contradiction between supply and demand will lead to difficult economic development in many countries. According to statistics, about 1.5 billion people in more than 80 countries around the world are facing a shortage of fresh water supply, of which 450 million people in 29 countries are completely living in water shortages. The current situation of water resources in China is quite severe. Especially in the northern regions, there are more than 120 cities with water shortages and at least 50 cities are seriously deprived of water. In the summer of 2002, the Yellow River cutoff site was extended to the territory of Henan Province. The average per capita water resources in the Yellow River Basin is only 501 cubic meters, which is less than 1/5 of the national average, and only 1/16th of the world average.
