In the Yangtze River Valley

the water energy resources is plentiful in its upper reaches and branch streams

but specifically rare in the lower reach regions

So

Sichuan Province

located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River

is rich in water energy resources too

but the power shortage is still severe at present. To solve the intense contradiction

we must make the following things well:first

to combine the economy development in the east with the exploitation of energy resources in the west closely in order to make them interdependent

intersupport

interpromotion and advance with same path; second

to act according to the principle of system engineering such as upper reaches is prior to lower reaches and branch streams to trunk streams

and not vice versa; third

to exploite the water energy resources on the upper reaches and branch streams in the first place to enable the old liberated

the minority nationality

the border and the poverty-stricken areas in the vast. west China to take off the poor and get the rich and to become a strategic rear; fourth

to pay close attention to build the water storage projects on the upper reaches and branch streams of the Yangtze River to impel tapping all available potentialities and renovating the present water power stations for the urgent problems of power shortage in winter in whole valley and its neighbour areas to be solved.
