Since ancient times, the mainland has paid more attention to people's daily life, for example, Qin Shi Huang had dug the Ling Canal, and there are many water conservancy projects in modern times, the most famous is definitely the South-to-North Water Diversion.
In fact, it is also possible to say that he is a south-to-north water diversion, but the Han-Ji-Wei diversion project is a south-to-north water diversion project in the province to let the Han River flow through the Qinling Mountains and bring water to the land of the Qinling Mountains.
To complete this project to consume a lot of money, manpower and material resources, the state to build such a project, most of the people to build such a project for the sake of people's water safety and state.
According to past news from the Chinese government website cited by the Lishi District People's Government of Luliang City, in the mid-90s of the last century, many citizens of Xi'an encountered difficulties in using water.
The water pressure of the water flow is not enough, and sometimes the water will be stopped, and the water will be stopped for a long time, and when there is a water source, people will have to be forced to rush to receive water, and the time to receive water will appear in the middle of the night.
This phenomenon has seriously affected people's water experience, but also affected people's daily life, Shaanxi Province water resources are not sufficient, per capita water reserves are relatively small, and the Qinling Mountains separate the two major water systems, the distribution of water sources is uneven, drought death, waterlogging death.
In order to solve this situation, the country chose to carry out the south-to-north water diversion in the province, and the Qinling Mountains, which are in the middle of the two major water systems, have become an obstacle.
This is quite a project, according to a report given by the global network, at that time, in order to solve the water problem in Shaanxi Province, the government and relevant personnel interviewed some citizens who were deeply disturbed by the water problem.
Guo Mou, a resident of Xi'an, who was interviewed, recalled that when water was insufficient, every family had a water shortage, and both adults and children had to hold a small bucket to carry water when the water source was open, because the water was insufficient, whether it was a school, a supermarket or a personal company, it was a problem to drink water at ordinary times.
In addition to the difficulty of using water, which is a point that troubles the citizens, the citizens interviewed at the time also raised a safety issue, the lack of water resources, our water consumption has not been reduced, and the exploitation of groundwater has caused land subsidence.
Land subsidence will bring a series of natural disasters, such as seawater inflow, small earthquakes caused by land subsidence, and some local landmarks, which will form subsidence, collapse and tilt.
In order to solve the problem, the Department of Water Resources immediately carried out the overall planning of the South-to-North Water Diversion, as early as 2007, the design engineering team has begun to carry out the design and construction, and in 2015, the water diversion project in Shaanxi Province has begun.
In principle, the project is still relatively easy to understand, but to zoom in to the action, the project should pay attention to more points, the engineering team will divert the Han to Wei River project into three major areas, not only to solve the problem of people's urban water, but also to improve the state of groundwater, but also to solve the insurmountable Qinling Mountains in front of the engineering construction team.
The staff who chiseled through the Qinling Mountains went in and out of the work site every day, and to chisel through the mountain, it was necessary to carry out some relatively dangerous blasting work.
According to the reporter report given by the global network, some of the workers who carried out the construction at that time usually encountered some construction conditions are more worrying, when the research report is carried out, the stone can fly out directly more than 20 meters away, such a force, if it touches people, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties, but according to the report given by the bright network and the global network, the workers who carried out the project did not have any casualties, which is also a small miracle.
In addition to the dangerous work site, the temperature and state of the place where the workers are carrying out the construction are also unbearable, after entering the tunnel, the temperature around the machine will rise, and the tunnel is a closed space, the workers work in the tunnel as if they have entered a sauna.
In order to complete the progress of the project, they had to endure such long and torturous work, and in order to adapt to this state and not let their bodies become dehydrated due to the rising temperature, they had to drink seven or eight liters of water a day, and when they were exhausted, the workers would even pour into the water to cool down and rest.
But in such a hard and difficult environment, the workers still did not give up on completing this task, and the workers who worked hard in the task all had an idea that as long as the project was completed, it would be worth their efforts.
Some workers and engineers of the engineering team said that after the completion of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in Shaanxi Province, they have gained a lot of experience in tunnel opening and construction, and in the future, they will be more comfortable in dealing with this situation, which can be regarded as a challenge for them and their growth in the project.
The water conveyance project to open up the Qinling Mountains is very difficult, and it took workers to work day and night to penetrate the Qinling Mountains for a long time, until in July 2023, the water of the Han River flows into the Guanzhong Plain through the tunnel that the workers have penetrated.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project in Shaanxi Province was officially completed, which took more than 10 years, with more than 15,000 people participating, digging through the Qinling Mountains for nearly 100 kilometers, and providing at least 1.5 billion cubic meters of domestic water for tens of millions of people every year.
As if in my memory, in the mid-90s of the last century, people went out to fetch water with small pots and bowls, or got up in the middle of the night to fetch water, but now there is no more.
However, people's water problem can not only rely on the project to solve, in order to ensure people's water problem for a long time, in addition to artificial water conservancy projects, everyone who uses water in daily life should also pay attention to some details, as mentioned in the previous promotional video, make good use of water resources, use rice water to water flowers or flush toilets, and do not release water for a long time when washing hands, such behavior can save water resources.
It is not easy to break through the siege of the Qinling Mountains, and everyone has a responsibility to protect water resources.
