Water from the Yellow River flows to the hinterland of the desert. What is the situation in Inner Mongolia?

Inner Mongolia has led the Yellow River water to the hinterland of the desert, and now the local situation has improved obviously.

As we all know, because Xinjiang lives inland and has little rainfall, there are many deserts. In fact, many people only know that there are many deserts in Xinjiang, but they don't know that there are many deserts in Inner Mongolia, and the desert area in Inner Mongolia is not small. Kubuqi Desert, the seventh largest desert in China, is located in Inner Mongolia. So, how is the desert in Inner Mongolia formed? In fact, the formation of desert is influenced by human behavior and induced by natural ecological changes. Just like the Kubuqi Desert, 3000 years ago, the Kubuqi Desert was also an endless prairie, with abundant water plants and many herdsmen. However, due to the deposition of sediment in the Yellow River water, it is gradually covered by sediment, and the loess fills the oasis, and the once vibrant grassland has become a desolate desert, which is also sad.

From the situation of Kubuqi Desert, it can be seen that the sediment in the Yellow River water is an important reason and the most critical factor for the desert here. In this case, only by making full use of the Yellow River water can we really control the local land desertification problem. In fact, if we can make full use of the Yellow River water and discharge it to the hinterland of the desert in a large area, it will also bring a lot of water to the local area. If there is water, it will bring hope to life, and the desert will hopefully become an oasis again. From 20 14, the water diversion project was started in Inner Mongolia. Hangjinqi introduced the Yellow River water into the hinterland of Kubuqi desert in flood season by using the height difference of terrain. By 20 18, Hangjinqi won more than 60 million yuan from the central government for water conservancy projects, improved the connection function of water conservancy facilities, and introduced part of the Yellow River water into the low-lying land of Kubuqi Desert, forming a water circulation pattern of diverting water from the Yellow River, flowing into Kubuqi Desert and returning to the Yellow River. Under such circumstances, the "water ecology" of Kubuqi Desert was formed.

It can be seen that there is a prerequisite for diverting water from the Yellow River. This premise is that the Yellow River must have sufficient water flow. If there is not enough water in the Yellow River, people will have drinking water problems. What water should be used to guide it to the Kubuqi Desert? Therefore, now is the best time to divert water from the Yellow River in flood season. Of course, although it is the best time, the available time is limited because the flood season of the Yellow River is not very long. Of course, although time is limited, it is still very useful, and China people are indomitable and dare to stick to one thing to the end. Finally, the project to guide the Yellow River water to the Kubuqi Desert began. After such a long time's efforts, the life of Kubuqi Desert has been awakened, and now vegetation has appeared on one third of the area, and a 36-square-kilometer lake has been formed. From this point of view, the role of the Yellow River Diversion Project is still great, and the local changes are also considerable.
