一提到南水北调西线工程,许多支持者都会想起一个富有诗意的说法：在“南水”的滋润下,西北一些地方将会出现新的“塞外江南”。现实中西北干旱缺水问题日益突出,今年,甘肃更遭受了连续15个月未形成有效降雨、农作物大面积绝收的大旱．这些似乎部重复印证着“北调”的迫切性。不过,四川民间已经开始对此发出不同的声音。 When it comes to the Western Route Project for South-North Water Diversion, many supporters will recall a poetic statement: Under the auspices of “South Water,” there will be a new “plug-in south-west” in some parts of Northwest China. In reality, the problem of arid and water shortage in northwest China has become increasingly prominent. This year, Gansu even suffered a severe drought that lasted for 15 consecutive months and no effective rainfall and crops were harvested in large areas. All these seem to have repeatedly confirmed the urgency of the “north tune.” However, Sichuan folk have begun to make different voices.
