都江堰（Dujiangyan）坐落在成都平原西部的岷江上，距成都市约50公里，始建于公元前三世纪。它的独特之处在于无需用堤坝调控水流。两千多年前，都江堰一直有效地发挥着防洪与灌溉作用，使成都平原成为旱涝保收的沃土和中国最重要的粮食产地之一。都江堰工程体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是全世界年代最久，仍在使用，无坝控水的水利工程。

Dujiangyan, whose construction was started in the 3rd century BC, is located across the Minjiang River in the west Chengdu Plain, about 50 kilometers away from Chengdu. What impresses people most is the damless water control. For over 2,000 years, it has been playing an effective role in flood prevention and irrigation, turning the Chengdu Plain into a fertile land and guaranteed for harvest against drought or flood and one of the most significant grain production areas in China.

坎儿井（Karez）是新疆干旱地区的一种水利系统，由地下渠道将水井连接而成。该系统将春夏季节渗入（seep into）地下的大量雨水及积雪融水收集起来，通过山体的自然坡度引到地面，用于灌溉农田和满足人们的日常用水需求。坎儿井减少了水在地面的蒸发（evaporation）, 对地表破坏很小，因而有效地保护了自然资源与生态环境。坎儿井体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是对人类文明的一大贡献。

Karez is water conservancy system found in the dry region of Xinjiang, in which underground channels join wells together. The system collects a large amount of rainwater and melted snow water that seep underground, and drains the water to the ground by the natural mountain slope for the irrigation of fields and the daily use. Karez reduces the evaporation on the ground and does little harm to the surface, thus protecting natural resources and the ecological environment effectively.
