The Research On Development And Utilization Of Water Resources In The Process Of Shan-xi Economic Development (1949-2009)

China is a country which is extremely short of water, especially Shan-xi, one of the areas which are more short of water. As we all know that, Shan-xi is rich of coal, but short of water. As a base of energy and heavy chemical province, coal, electric, metallurgy and chemical industries in Shan-xi provided adequate energy for the country's rapid economic and social development. However, the four industries do seriously damage to water resources due to the extreme water consumption and polluted water emission. Based on these, it is great significant to make a research on the exploitation and use of water resource in Shan-xi.For 30 years, the rational allocation of water resources has rapid provided a strong basis and made a positive contribution to the rapid development of energy and heavy chemical industries. However, the overdevelopment of energy and heavy industry defies the growth of other industries, which results in the single industrial struction and serious environmental pollution. A great deal of industrial waste water in discharged into rivers, which severely disturbed the ecological balance. Shan-xi has fallen into a "resources trap". After several years'attempts, Shan-xi has gradually worked out a "road of transformation" with regional characteristics. That is, restricting, transformation, developing circular economy of coal and coal chemical industry, extending industrial chain and promoting the added value of products. The years of 2011 is the first year of "Twelfth Five-year Plan" in Shan-xi Province. It is also the beginning for Shan-xi to take on a new look in the subsequent five years. "Double- billion Project", "Double-fifty Billion Project", "Two-twenty Billion Project" will be coming on line. Therefore, how to maintain adequate water supply and improve water recycling, and ensure the fulfillment of the "Twelfth Five-year Plan" has become a strategic issue Shan-xi industrial structure resulting in a single, serious environmental pollution, a large number of industrial sewage, waste water discharged into the river, severely damaged the ecological balance, Shan-xi into a "resource trap." After several years of hard exploration, the children gradually worked out Shan-xi regional characteristics with the "transformation of the Road", that is restructuring and development, leapfrog development, vigorously develop the circular economy of coal, coal chemical industry, extend the industrial chain higher value added products. Shan-xi Province in 2011, "Twelve Five Year Plan" the first year, five years is to achieve re-sail of a new year in Shan-xi, a large number of "double-billion project", "double-fifty billion project," " two-twenty billion project "will be coming on line, how to maintain adequate water supply and improve water recycling, as the" second five "plan to defend the goals, as including the water department of water affairs at all levels, experts, scholars and other social sectors people to discuss major strategic issue for both the authorities and some experts.The people first give a historical review of the development of water resources exploitation in Shan-xi since 1949, and then evaluate the efficiency of water resources exploitation, the contribution to the local economic development of society. Finally, the paper summarizes the existing problems and possible solution.
