Exploration on the Thought and Practice of Preventing and Controlling Flood and Drought Disasters in Anhui During the Period of Republic of China
During the period of Republic of China,there were various types of natural disasters in Anhui,mainly caused by flood and drought disasters,which attracted reflection and attention from the government and the public with the wide range of affected areas and significant destructive effects.The idea of forest and water conservancy disaster prevention began to prevail,and afforestation and water conservancy became important contents of Anhui Province's construction during this period.During the Republican period,Anhui Province promulgated a series of forest protection laws and regulations,and carried out a refor-estation campaign,and the afforestation industry in Anhui began to develop.After the flood in 1931,the water conservancy con-struction in Anhui Province began to change to prevent drought and flood disasters,and the economic center also focused on wa-ter conservancy construction.The province formulated a four-phase water conservancy project construction plan and carried out large-scale water conservancy project construction with obvious results,which played its due guarantee role.Throughout the dis-aster prevention plans during the Republican period,although some plans were not fully implemented,the implementation of disaster prevention ideas and plans had certain effects on the management of floods and droughts at that time,and also had im-portant value and significance for today's disaster prevention and reduction.
