Study Of China's Agricultural Flood And Drought Disaster Prevention System

Flood and drought disasters appeared along with the human being's appearance. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels attached much importance to agricultural natural disasters. Engels indicated: "We don't be intoxicated excessively the victory of the human being achived from the nature, for which we are retaliated by the nature. Consequently, even one step forward we made, we should remember that we rule the nature anything but like conquerors rule the different races, nor like a man standing out of the nature, on the contrarary, we and our flesh, blood and brains belong to the nature, and lies in the nature. We rule over the nature just because we are stronger than other animals and we have the ability of acquainting and exerting correctly the order of nature." Nowadays, during the course of construction of socialist modernization, the flood and draught disasters, which become more serious, have been a important crippling factor agaist economic development and social progress in our country. It is high time that we strengthened and expedited the research of flood and draught disasters.Flood and drought disasters are the most notable ones of various natural disasters for agriculture. Chinese people have been performing so many stories about fighting against natural disasters which moves the readers to praises and tears in the Chinese history of thousands of years. In 2006, an extreme fearful drought disaster, which only happens in 50 to 100 years, took place in Sichuan and Chongqing. The occurance of flood and drought disasters are natural aberrances, they are neutral to the human being unless their influences exceed a certain extent. To be surviving and developing, the mankind has no choice but to rob more natural resources out of Nature. As a result, the relationship between human and nature, which used to be harmonious, is destroied. That is the social reason for why naturral aberrances become more violent, and why flood and drought disasters happen more frequently and their influence more aggravatingly. Flood and drought disasters harm to the devolopment of economy, disturb people's lives, cause agricultural production waving, and destroy the environment which is corps's carrier. The domestic and international scholars have brought forward many theories in regard to how to protect against flood and drought disasters, most of them can be used as reference. The practice of protecting against flood and drought disasters in China have achieved remarkable accomplishment, on the other side of the practice coin, imperfectness are unavoidable. Based on the protecting system against flood and drought disasters in existence, we should integrate all available resources to set up the integrated protection system against flood and drought disasters. Firstly, we should perfect the pre-disaster integrated supervise-and-alarm system by the following measures: to strengthen study on flood and drought disasters so as to perfect the supervising system, to expedite construct the project of communication networds of water conservancy to improve the level of supervising and alarming, to develop and utilize advanced technology to perfect forecasting and alarming system, and establish effective communication system to spread the disaster informations as quickly and correctly as possible. Secondly, we should perfect the being-disaster integrated rescuing system by the following measures: the rescue powers of the government, social organizations, villagern mutual-aid organizations and peasants' families should be consolidated and corresponded when the rescue pre-projects are put in practice. Thirdly, we should perfect the after-disaster integrated disaster-decreasing system by the following measures: to form a effective furbishing and rebuilding work system, to set up the compersating system composed of the government and all social circles, and perfect the agricultural disaser insurance institution and guarantee-system of disaster-decreasing. In the long term, however, only gaining the positive position of protection against flood and drought disasters, can we develop the sustainable agriculture. To do that, we should be guided by the value of scientific development, take effective measures to improve the relationship among agri-production, natural resource and environment, then take the following measures to form a long-term mechanism of the integrated protection system against flood and drought disasters: to develop modern economy-style and circle-style agriculture depending on adopting advaced agri-technology, to increase public agricultural establishments to reduce the fragility of agricultural disaster-resistance, and protect agricultural eco-environmen to enhance the ability of agricultural disaster-resistance.
