護泉，濟南人揮之不去的情愫

文、圖／李瑞勇

泉水是濟南聞名世界的獨特名片，是濟南的靈魂，是世代濟南人為之驕傲的本錢。這個城市因泉而生，因泉而建，因泉而發(fā)展。濟南有六大泉群、七十二名泉。位于濟南趵突泉公園內(nèi)的趵突泉則是濟南七十二名泉之首，被譽為“天下第一泉”。著名文學(xué)家蒲松齡則評價趵突泉是“海內(nèi)之名泉第一，齊門之勝地?zé)o雙”。

我小時候經(jīng)常到趵突泉公園看泉水，那時的“三股水”冒得很高，池底安裝著粗粗的大管子，問了大人才知道那是自來水廠安裝的抽水管道。那個年代，自來水廠就在現(xiàn)在的趵突泉池邊，離泉池僅一墻之隔。

那時的人們以為趵突泉是取之不盡用之不竭的天然地下水庫，從未想過泉水還會干枯。但隨著開采，不知從什么時候開始，趵突泉的水不多了。后來就不允許開采了，水廠也搬走了。長大后才知道，隨著濟南的城市擴張，用水量大幅提升，加上無序的開發(fā)取水，再趕上那幾年大旱，直接造成了趵突泉斷流甚至干涸。趵突泉干涸后，大多數(shù)的濟南人心里都十分不是滋味，不甘心上蒼賜予泉城的“家底”就這樣悄無聲息地消逝。于是，政府和許多有識之士便開始了節(jié)水保泉的行動和研究。

1981年6月，中共濟南市委和共青團濟南市委組織各界青年數(shù)百人，義務(wù)挖除淤泥清理趵突泉。那個年代，人們的精神面貌非常好，大家都認為義務(wù)勞動是應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。所以一經(jīng)號召，許多政府部門、事業(yè)單位和工礦企業(yè)的共青團組織都紛紛響應(yīng)，在沒有施工器械的情況下，工地邊上放個水桶，男女青年齊上陣，大家用锨挖，用筐抬，人工吊運污泥，中午自帶干糧，用辛勤的汗水為天下第一泉來了個徹底的“凈身”。

隨后的日子里，趵突泉依然斷斷續(xù)續(xù)停噴過幾次，政府和百姓一直在苦苦探索節(jié)水保泉之路。大力倡導(dǎo)全民節(jié)水保泉意識，強制關(guān)停地下水開采，開展補水回灌，經(jīng)過不懈努力終于讓泉水重回泉城。2003年，趵突泉復(fù)涌，而且一噴就是14年，至今沒有斷流。而濟南市政府更通過立法加大了對泉水的保護力度，通過各方努力，相信泉城“家家泉水，戶戶垂楊”的美麗景色會一直延續(xù)下去。

Spring water is the unique card of Jinan in the world,as well as the soul of Jinan. Jinan has six spring groups, including more than 72 famous springs.Baotu Spring in Baotu Spring Park ranks first among the 72 springs, and is honored as “No. 1 Spring under Heaven”.

When I was young, I always went to Baotu Spring Park to see spring water. At that time, people thought Baotu Spring was an inexhaustible natural underground reservoir. However, with the constant exploitation, Baotu Spring faced drying up. In June, 1981, the CPC Jinan Municipal Committee and Communist Youth League Committee organized hundreds of young volunteers to dig sludge out of Baotu Spring.

After that, the government and the people have explored the way of spring protection. In 2003, Baotu Spring gushed again, and has kept gushing for 14 years.With our effort, we believe that the beautiful scenery of“Spring water bubbles in the courtyard of every family and willows wave in front of very family gate” will continue for ever.
