一机电灌排工程在国外已有一百多年的发展历史。早在1850年,英国就在英格兰的陶克西(Torksey)建立了蒸汽引擎驱动戽水轮的排水站,用来排除农田内涝,保障农业生产。此后,随着工业生产水平的不断提高,于十九世纪末开始建立蒸汽引擎带动离心泵的排水站。到了廿世纪初期,逐渐用油引擎代替了蒸汽 An electromechanical irrigation and drainage project has a history of more than one hundred years in foreign countries. As early as 1850, Britain set up a steam engine-driven dumpster’s drainage station in Torksey, England, to eliminate farmland waterlogging and ensure agricultural production. Since then, with the continuous improvement of industrial production, the end of the nineteenth century began to establish a steam engine driven centrifugal pump drainage station. By the early twentieth century, oil engines were gradually replaced by steam
