湄公河遭大旱：中国开闸放水 越南民众称充满善意
“希望中国开闸放的水能尽早到来，这样我们吃喝的就不会都是咸水了。”越南南部槟椥省槟椥镇富豪乡的农民阮文南说。
自2015年年底以来，受强厄尔尼诺现象影响，澜沧江-湄公河流域各国均遭受不同程度旱灾。
云南省社科院缅甸研究所副所长雷著宁用“同饮一江水”形容澜湄沿岸国家水乳交融的关系。3月15日，中国外交部发言人陆慷表示，为照顾流域国家的关切，中国政府决定克服自身困难，尽最大可能作出努力，自3月15日至4月10日通过中方境内景洪水电站对下游实施应急补水，此举将惠及老挝、缅甸、泰国、柬埔寨、越南等国，希望能够对缓解下游旱情有所帮助。
对于景洪水电站向下游开闸放水，受灾国家有何期盼和感受？
越南媒体近日报道，受强厄尔尼诺现象影响，越南南部的湄公河三角洲正遭受百年来最严重旱情，湄公河水位也降至近90年最低。
干涸的三角洲比往常提早2个月出现海水入侵现象，盐水已入侵三角洲主河道40至93公里，115万公顷冬春作物中30%受到威胁，沿海多个省份将可能经受较长时间的缺水。其中，湄公河流域受灾稻田达16万公顷，损失近50000亿越南盾(约合2.22亿美元)。
槟椥省位于湄公河下游的越南九龙江平原。受厄尔尼诺现象影响，九龙江平原的11个省市从去年12月旱季开始，出现不同程度的旱灾和海水倒灌现象，槟椥省是重灾区之一。据了解，槟椥省水稻绝收面积多达1.9万公顷，500多公顷农作物、5800多公顷果树和75公顷的水产养殖面积受损，3万多人缺乏生活用水。
“我们养殖的生蚝、虾类等海产品，九成都已经死了。地里的黄牛一般都是喝田渠的水，现在只能喝咸水。海水倒灌，使椰子里的汁液都由甜变咸了。以前旱季时，挖井卖水的人一公升水卖6-8万越南盾(约合18-24元人民币)，现在都涨到10-18万越南盾(约合30-54元人民币)，”槟椥省农民阮文南说。
除越南之外，柬埔寨等湄公河流域其他国家也遭受干旱袭击。
越通社3月17日以《越南高度期待中国应急补水》为题，引用越南农业与农村发展部水利总局代表的话称，中国同意向湄公河开闸放水为越南九龙江平原缓解干旱和海水入侵等现象“提供巨大帮助”。
越南快讯网3月16日报道称，越南遭受旱灾严重的薄辽省和朔庄省代表都对中国开闸放水表示欢迎。薄辽省农业与农村发展部长梁玉麟说，整个湄公河流域将因此“受益极大”。3月15日开始放水后，将在4天内到达薄辽，薄辽省已经将灌溉设备准备到位。
同时，越南民众对中国开闸放水也表示欢迎。
网友“森琴”在越南快讯网留言称，“中国此举充满善意”。
另一位网友“国松”则留言称，“对中国这一积极的行动表示欢迎。希望旱灾和海水入侵现象能因此有所改善”。
柬埔寨外交与国际合作部16日也发布声明，对中国政府对湄公河下游实施应急补水、帮助湄公河流域国家应对旱情的决定表示欢迎。
声明说，水资源管理方面的合作是澜沧江-湄公河合作机制的重要组成部分，中国的应急补水决定再次证明，湄公河流域国家与中国在水资源管理方面有着良好的合作关系。
近年来，受气候变化、降水量偏少及支流来水少等多重因素影响，澜沧江-湄公河流域发生多次旱情，景洪等水电站发挥了较好调节作用。这也对湄公河的枯季航运、灌溉、防止海水入侵以及汛期的防洪等具有积极意义。
澜沧江-湄公河流经中国、老挝、缅甸、泰国、柬埔寨、越南等6国，干流全长4880公里，流域面积81万平方公里，年平均径流量4750亿立方米。其中中国境内干流长约2161公里，流域面积16万平方公里，占澜沧江-湄公河全流域面积的约20%、多年平均径流量的14%左右。
源起青藏高原，流经中南半岛，汇入太平洋，澜沧江-湄公河作为一条天然纽带，将中国、缅甸、老挝、泰国、柬埔寨、越南六国紧密相连。在发展繁荣的共同愿景下，澜沧江-湄公河合作机制于2015年11月应运而生。本月23日，六国领导人将在海南三亚首次相聚，共同规划合作蓝图。
湄公河流域国家相关领域专家、学者认为，这一崭新的机制将通过“量身定做”的合作规划，为各国民众带来实实在在的利益；同时也将成为中国-东盟合作的有益补充，为支持东盟共同体建设提供强大助力。
