“空中南水北调”——论黄河上游人工增雨的实施及意义

Leading Water from South to North in Atmosphere ——The Discussion of the Practice and Significance of Artificial Rainfall in Yellow River Upstream

西线南水北调工程是解决黄河水资源短缺的根本措施，但不可能在短期内实施。在黄河上游进行人工增雨作业，我们称为“空中南水北调”，是一项投资省、效益好、见效快的技术措施。除具有巨大的经济效益外，对缓解黄河下游的用水和改善上游的生态环境也有明显的社会和生态效益。

The fundamental solving measure of Yellow river water source shortage is to lead water from South to North by canal,but this can not put into execution in short time.The paper proposes the artificial rainfall in Yellow river upstream,and this can also be called “leading water from South to North in atmosphere”,it is a economical investment measure.Except the tremendous economical benefit,it can also improve the ecological environment of upstream and mitigate water source in downstream.
