水旱灾害的治本之策是搞好水土保持

Controlling Soil Loss Is an Important Measure for Permanent Control of Flood and Drought

受地理位置决定的特殊气候条件和由人为因素引起的水土流失是造成我国水旱灾害频繁的根本原因.从某种意义上说,修建水库、加固大堤等水利工程是防洪抗旱的应急措施,是治标之举;而保持水土、减少泥沙淤积则是防治水旱灭害的治本之策.

Special climate condition determined by geographical position and soil loss caused by human activities are basic reasons leading to frequent flood and drought in China. We can say in a sense that reinforcing embankment , building reservoirs and other water conservancy projects are emergency measures for flood prevention and drought resistance , which can only bring about a temporary control of flood and drought; while conserving soil and water and reducing sand silted in the lower reaches are important measure for permanent control of flood and drought.
