GEOMORPHOLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION OF CULTURAL RELICS ALONG THE CANAL LINE OF THE MIDDLE ROUTE PROJECT OF WATER TRANSFERRING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH CHINA AND POTENTIAL INFLUENCE APPRAISAL

Development and utilization of water resources must be closely combined with the preservation of cultural relics. That' s the case found in the plan and design of Middle Route Project of Water Transferring from South to North China. In this work, we investigate the river system, lithologic characteristics of geomorphic , grades of cultural relics their preservation situation and the spatial relation to the delivering canal. On the basis of these investigations, a statistics of the distribution characteristics of different-time cultural relics within 3km wide zones on both sides of delivering canal with respect to landforms was carried out. On the other hand, by using influence index E, a fuzzy quantitative appraisal of the influence degree on the cultural relics and their preservation graded was completed. Thr result enabled us to have a systematical recognition of the statistical characteristics of the cultural relics distributed within the 6 km wide zone. Meanwhile, it has also important referential and instructive meaning in planning of concrete sections of the project, adjustment of canal line, as well as design of impevious works.
