In the early years of the Republic of China,the flood in the Huai River basin was serious,and the people in the lower reaches of the Huai River suffered unspeakably.Most of its members are from Jiangsu,who pay close attention to the drainage of the Huai River in their hometown.The scholars of Jiangsu led by Zhang Jian put forward many plans to guide Huai River,and the western engineers such as Fei Limen were also invited by the Chinese government to govern Huai River.These plans can be seen in the Journal of Earth Science,the official journal of the Chinese Society of Geography.The water conservancy knowledge contained in the plans contains both Chinese traditional river control methods and western water conservancy technology.In the course of guiding the Huai River,the two different ways of river control were combined together,thus promoting the development of modern water conservancy science.In guide Huai river activities,western water conservancy science and technology has been applied in the governance of the Huai river,China,however,for thousands of years to form He Fang experience,especially to water of the traditional concept of the river is not ignored by conducting Huai characters.more successful plan of Huai river basin governance is water control method combining Chinese and western,in the introduction of western water conservancy technology at the same time,considering China’s rivers.After 1920,the activities of guiding Huai River gradually shifted from the non-governmental advocacy to the government’s leadership.During the period of the Nanjing Nationalist Government,the Committee of guiding Huai River was established,which provided an important guarantee for the scientific management of the Huai River.The "Project Plan for Huai River Channel" issued by the Huai River Channel Committee fully absorbed the essence of traditional river control methods to comprehensively control the Huai River Basin,thus reducing the occurrence of flood disasters and giving full play to the value of navigation and irrigation of the Huai River Basin.The knowledge content of modern water conservancy science in the activities of guiding Huai River has been continuously improved,and the water conservancy projects began to achieve practical results.From discussing the route of Huai River to the sea and the river in the plan of guiding Huai River in the early Republic of China to paying attention to the construction of water conservancy projects and seaport after 1920,the plan of guiding Huai River has experienced changes from the choice of scheme route to the implementation of specific projects.The Huai River drainage project was led by the national government and presided over by water conservancy experts,and the basin was managed as a whole,which further improved the scientific nature of the management of the Huai River.After the establishment of the Huai River Guiding Committee in 1929,the central government managed the water conservancy departments of the Huai River,which avoided the failure of the Huai River Guiding Plan due to regional interest disputes.Modern knowledge of water conservancy science is the key guarantee for scientific river management,emphasizing comprehensive river basin management,and setting up water conservancy authorities under the unified management of the central government.The water conservancy authority can raise funds for the project,issue the administrative order of river management,and introduce water conservancy technical personnel for river management.These government functions are necessary for the plan of guiding Huai River in the early Republic of China.Due to the lack of government water conservancy management function,the plan of guiding Huai River in the early Republic of China only stayed at the level of imagination.Therefore,to use modern water conservancy science and knowledge management,should be the integration of western scientific knowledge of water conservancy and Chinese traditional river management method,the government for the implementation of the regulation project of water conservancy authority provide policy and financial support,the Huai river regulation project to success,and the Huai river irrigation,shipping,water and electricity value can only be gradually development and utilization. |
