白族古代洱海源头治理初探

A Preliminary Study on the Ancient Practices of the Bai People in Managing the Headwaters of Erhai Lake

弥苴河是洱海重要水源补给源,对洱海环境影响很大。生活在此区域的白族人民,很早就开始进行防灾治理。先后开凿了罗时江、永安江,对弥苴河进行了大规模的长期治理,以自己独特的智慧,积累了难得的经验,终使灾害频发的洱海源头地区变成鱼米之乡。这些经验和措施,不但对今天的洱海保护有重要的参考价值,对其他地区高原湖泊的治理也有积极的意义。

Miju River,an important water source for Lake Erhai,has always been playing an important role in the eco-system of Erhai Lake.From early on the Bai people who have long inhabited this area started flood-control.By canalizing Luoshi River,and Yong'an River later,they did long and large-scale projects on Miju River,finally turning these flood-prone areas into rich farmlands.Their unique wisdom and the valuable experience from those early efforts is not only instructive for the conservation of Erhai Lake today,but also helpful for the management of highland lakes in other regions.
