一、《水工结构工程》重点学科建设的必要性水电建设在国民经济建设中具有举足轻重的地位。改革开放以来,我国的经济发展极快,但受到严重缺电的制约。最近连续几年,我国的电力工业每年新增的容量都超过1000万 kw,现已突破2000万 kw。然而仍未能满足需求,而且所增加的容量主要为火电,水电仅 I. Necessity of Key Discipline Construction of “Hydraulic Structural Engineering” Hydropower construction plays a decisive role in the national economic construction. Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly, but it has been severely power-cut. In recent several years, China’s power industry has an annual additional capacity of more than 10 million kw, has now exceeded 20 million kw. However, the demand has not yet been met, and the added capacity is mainly thermal power and hydropower only
