US media: China's largest freshwater lake, is closing the dam won't save it _ | | in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi | dam news

United States the Huffington Post on January 3 article, the original question: China's largest freshwater lakes are shrinking the largest freshwater lake in China, is under severe threat, and people seem to be unable to reach a consensus on how to save it.

Water in Poyang Lake extended to 1700 square miles (about 4400 square kilometers) or more. But Chinese media photos showed November, part of the Lake has completely dried up. Today, local authorities are scrambling to take rescue measures, but not everyone cheered its plans.

In 2008, the first in Jiangxi province to build 10,000 feet (3048 meters) locks – when the connection Poyang Lake and Yangtze River waterway built to stop water Dam – Lake retained more water during dry season.

However, environmentalists objected, saying it would cause "irreversible" and ecological damage. "I think (they) did not know the source of the problem without solution. "Research on Poyang Lake daiwei·shangkeman, a professor at the University of Alabama says," dam is for certain economic interests, can cause long-term ecological problems. ”

Environmentalists are Wang Yongchen (sound) has stated that interdependence of rivers and lakes, dams or in Poyang Lake will further destroy this natural connection. Scientists also said that the project would be "irreversible" change the seasonal flood in Poyang Lake the "pulse", leading to abnormally high water level during dry season, flooding wetlands for birds.

美媒：中国最大淡水湖正缩小 靠大坝救不了它|鄱阳湖|江西|大坝_新闻资讯

　　美国《赫芬顿邮报》1月3日文章，原题：中国最大淡水湖正在缩小 中国最大淡水湖正在遭受严峻威胁，且人们似乎无法就如何拯救它达成一致意见。

　　鄱阳湖水面能扩展至1700平方英里（约4400平方公里）以上。但中国媒体11月公布的照片显示，部分湖区已经完全干涸。如今，当地有关部门正匆忙采取拯救措施，但并非所有人都为其计划欢欣鼓舞。

　　2008年，江西省最早提出建造1万英尺（约3048米）水闸的建议——在连接鄱阳湖与长江的水道上修建拦水大坝——以使鄱阳湖在枯水期留存更多的水。

　　然而，环保人士表示反对，称这将引发“不可逆转”的生态破坏。“我认为（他们在）并未了解问题根源的情况下就提出解决方案。”研究鄱阳湖的亚拉巴马大学教授戴维·尚克曼说，“大坝是为某些经济利益着想，可能造成长期生态问题。”

　　环保人士王永臣（音）曾表示，江河和湖泊相互依存，鄱阳湖修建大坝或将进一步破坏这种自然连接关系。科学家还表示，该工程还将“不可挽回”地改变鄱阳湖季节性洪流的“脉搏”，导致枯水期的水位非正常偏高，从而淹没供鸟类栖息的湿地。（作者多米尼克·莫斯伯根，王会聪译）
