广西由于地理、地质等方面的特殊性,自古就是个水灾频发的地区。进入近代以来,随着人口增加,开发程度加深,气候条件变迁等原因,生态环境遭到较以前更为严重的破坏,结果水灾爆发频率更快,破坏力更强,人民深受其害。新桂系在其统治期间,成立机构,植树造林,疏通河道,加强农田水利建设,开始了近代广西水灾救防工作。 Due to its particularity in geography and geology, Guangxi has been a flood-stricken area since ancient times. Since entering the modern era, with the increase of population, the deepening of development and the change of climatic conditions, the ecological environment has been harder than before. As a result, the floods broke out more frequently and destructively and the people suffered greatly. During its reign, Xin Guixi set up an institution to plant trees, clear the river, strengthen the construction of farmland and water conservancy, and started the flood relief work in Guangxi in modern times.
