Chapter 654: Environmental Warnings
"But just last year, the Renzhong Seawater Power Station project was forced to start construction without the approval of the environmental impact assessment by experts, and large-scale construction began in Renzhonghai. ”
"Although the local government later stopped the project in time, the adverse effects may take years, if not decades, to resolve......
"Not long ago, the design of the Renzhonghai dam was completed. According to this design plan, after the dam is completed, the water level of the lake will be raised by 45m, and a large area of redwood forest will be submerged, and the breeding of a large number of rare wild animals in the scenic area will be seriously threatened......"
What is even more worrying and worrying is that according to this design plan, a dam will be built near Bawanghai in the upper reaches of the Tianwan River, the main river on the southern slope of Gongga Mountain, to divert the water of the Tianwan River to Renzhonghai through a tunnel. ”
In this way, not only will the natural landscape of Bawanghai be destroyed, the section of the river from Bawanghai to Ape Man Waterfall will become a dry valley, but also the most charming natural landscape area and primitive ecological area on the southern slope of Gongga Mountain will also be doomed by the boundary monument stone through Bawanghai to Zimei. ”
Speaking of this, Li Qingyun's face was already gloomy, and he sighed: "The Renzhonghai Dam may be able to irrigate the farmland around Gongga Mountain, but its impact on the natural ecology and landscape system of Gongga Mountain may be devastating......
After listening to Li Qingyun's emotional narration, Liang Jian's eyes were full of surprise.
He didn't expect Li Qingyun to have such an understanding of the reasons why the environment of the Gongga Mountain Scenic Area was destroyed in his eyes.
Even he, half of the people in the "Gongga Mountain Scenic Area", does not know so clearly as Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun didn't know what Governor Liang was thinking at this time, he took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued to talk about the second routine.
"Governor Liang, maybe this example is not clear enough, let me give you another example......
Li Qingyun said to himself: "The northern slope of Gongga Mountain, the Mugecuo Scenic Area near Kangding County, is an important part of the Gongga Mountain National Scenic Area. ”
"Here, there are not only the landscape of alpine lakes represented by Mugecuo and Qisehai, but also high-quality medical and drinking hot mineral springs such as Yaowang Spring, as well as a large area of primeval forest dominated by fir, spruce and rhododendron, which is one of the most famous scenic tourist spots in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southern Sichuan Province. ”
"However, according to the information I found on the Internet, the Mugecuo Scenic Area has been selected as the site for the construction of the regulating reservoir of the Vasigou Hydropower Station. In the future, three cascade dams will be built on the tributaries of the Yala River in the scenic area, which will undoubtedly cause irreparable losses to the natural landscape and natural environment of the Mugecuo Scenic Area. ”
When Li Qingyun said this, Liang Jian nodded silently.
The Mugecuo Scenic Area is one of the places he walked with his wife. It was also the only area that hadn't changed much when I revisited the old place last year.
But now, according to Li Qingyun, even this scenic spot has a precarious future.
After a long sigh, Liang Jian looked at Li Qingyun intently and said, "Qingyun, to be honest, I asked you about the small and medium-sized hydropower station today, and I didn't want to get any feedback from you. ”
"It's only because you Shahe County may also plan a medium-sized hydropower station that I told you about it. ”
"But now it seems that I was right when I mentioned this to you......"
Listening to Governor Liang's emotion, Li Qingyun scratched his hair and said, "Governor Liang, many of what I said are also information collected from the Internet. Combined with some of their own analysis, they talked nonsense. It's just my 'family talk', don't take it too seriously!"
Liang Jian didn't say anything immediately, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table next to him, and said with a wry smile: "How many times have I said I want to quit smoking, but I still can't make up my mind after all! Sometimes our work is the same!"
Listening to Governor Liang's meaningful words, Li Qingyun was somewhat clear.
He nodded silently, not knowing how to comfort this "teacher".
After lighting a cigarette, Liang Jian slowly pushed the cigarette case in front of Li Qingyun and said, "You can have one too, and then tell me in detail, what harm may be brought by the liberalization of the management of small and medium-sized hydropower stations......
At Governor Liang's house, Li Qingyun didn't dare to smoke.
Liang Jian didn't force him, and after seeing him refuse, he took the cigarette case back, and at the same time didn't forget to signal Li Qingyun to say more.
Looking at Governor Liang's expectant gaze, Li Qingyun thought for a while, and then began his own story again.
"Governor Liang, just now I gave the example of Gongga Mountain Scenic Area. Now let's take the Dadu River as an example!"
With Liang Jian's encouragement, Li Qingyun continued: "The Dadu River is one of the rivers with the most abundant water and energy resources in southern Sichuan Province. For a long time, the state and southern Sichuan Province have taken advantage of its abundant water resources to carry out large-scale hydropower development on its main stream and tributaries. ”
"According to what I have learned, as of this year, there are 48 hydropower stations on the main stream and tributaries of the Dadu River. Most of them are small hydropower stations such as Gongzui and Tongjiezi. ”
According to a document issued by the National Development and Reform Commission some time ago on the development of water conservancy in the western region. In the entire main and tributary areas of the Dadu River, 306 power stations will be planned to be developed in the next five years, with an installed capacity of more than 18 million kilowatts. Among them, the main stream area alone accounts for 70% of the total......"
"Dadu River, I know ...... there" Hearing this, Liang Jian couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Li Qingyun let out a "hmm" and continued: "The construction of these hydropower stations has made the pace of the large-scale development of our country's western region much faster. ”
"However, the construction of large-scale hydropower plants, while bringing us energy and other benefits, is actually inducing and exacerbating geological disasters. The inundation of cultivated land, the influx of immigrants, and the destruction of tourism resources in natural and cultural landscapes are all very serious problems in front of us!"
"I have read a summary in a scientific journal that the Dadu River basin has now become an area with a high incidence of geological disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, collapses, and mudslides. At the same time, it is also the most serious area of soil erosion in the west. ”
Li Qingyun shook his head and sighed: "What is even more shocking is that the valley area of the Dadu River Basin is originally the agricultural area with the highest concentration of residents in the mountainous areas of southern Sichuan. The construction of the hydropower station has made these farming areas all a thing of the past......
Listening to Li Qingyun's narration, Liang Jian sighed again and again.
