The Government-Business Linkage in the Dredging of the Lower South Canal from 1927 to 1937
In watershed management and disaster relief,people actively respond to difficulties and often develop creative and ad-aptable measures tailored to local conditions,which are worth summarizing and learning from.The government-business linkage in the dredging of the lower reaches of the South Canal from 1927 to 1937 is a typical example.In the 1920s and 1930s,the silta-tion of the section from Machang Jianhekou Jiuxuan Lock to Tianjin in the lower reaches of the South Canal seriously affected in-land waterway navigation and commercial order.In the face of scarce government dredging funds,severe damage to merchants,and urgent dredging needs,both government and commercial parties cooperated and coordinated in dredging plans,funds,and organizations to promote the completion of dredging projects,playing an important role in restoring the order of inland waterway passenger and freight transportation and irrigation,and basically achieving the expected goals.However,due to improper man-agement and poor coordination in the linkage,the project was delayed and ultimately did not achieve the desired effect.Sum-marizing the experiences and lessons from it has certain reference and inspiration significance for integrating existing resources,mobilizing all positive factors to respond to disasters,and enhancing cross departmental communication and coordination in the future.
