    There should be, there should be groundwater under any terrain, groundwater is a huge network of waters, several are interconnected, the water under the Sahara Desert may flow from other places, and then flow into the underground river, flow through the Sahara Desert underground, and then into the sea.

    Yes. That's why desert plants are able to survive.

    And sometimes the flow of groundwater can cause the formation of quicksand :)

    Whether or not there is water under the desert is made up of many factors.

    It depends on the historical evolution of the area, the natural climatic conditions, the structure of the site, and so on.

    There are even the effects of human activity.

    It is not possible to arbitrarily determine whether there is water under the desert, but also to go through exploration and investigation. Complete.

    <>1. Groundwater may be found by digging at the lowest point of the outer bend of the dry riverbed and the lowest point of the sand dune.

    2. Desert plants.

    The roots contain some water, which can be dug up and squeezed for juice to drink.

    3. Due to the large difference between day and night temperature in desert areas, fresh water can be obtained by condensation. The specific method is to dig a pit in the ground with a diameter of about 90 centimeters and a depth of 45 centimeters. The air and soil in the pit heat up rapidly, producing steam. When water vapor.

    When saturation is reached, it will condense into water droplets on the inside of the plastic sheet, which will drip into the container below to obtain fresh water. In desert areas with a large temperature difference between day and night, at least 500 ml of water can be obtained in a day and night. In this way, it is also possible to distill and filter dirty water that cannot be directly consumed.

    4. You can also find water sources according to the animals and plants in the desert. Most animals drink water regularly. Herbivore.

    They do not stay far from water sources, they usually go to a fixed place to drink in the early morning and dusk, and can generally be found by finding the trails they often walk by, looking for low-lying ground.

    Wind is the driving force for the creation of deserts, sand is the material basis for the formation of deserts, and drought is the necessary condition for the emergence of deserts. The reason for the lack of water in the desert is that the composition of the desert is sand.

    A desert is formed by a long period of high temperatures, little precipitation, and wind, and there is no water because it does not rain for a long time.

    Because the desert is hot all year round, but it is not without water. In fact, it can rain in the desert every year, and some deserts are close to snow-capped mountains or cities' savannahs. Weather phenomena such as typhoons can cause a small amount of rain to fall in the desert, such as cacti and oases.

    In some places, there is a shortage of water, and a prolonged drought is prone to the formation of deserts, and there is no way for deserts to retain water.

  16. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    The reason why there is water in <> desert is that oases are generally formed under high mountains, where snow is covered all year round. In the summer, the melted snow flows down the hillside into a small river, which seeps into the sand and forms groundwater as it passes through the desert. When this groundwater flows to low-lying areas, it washes out of the ground.

    Most of the desert is disturbed by human beings, so the desert had water before it was formed, and the desert only evaporated the water on the surface, and according to experts, the desert still has groundwater, but it is very deep.

    Desert mainly refers to a barren area where the ground is completely covered with sand, plants are very scarce, rainfall is scarce, and the air is dry. The desert is also known as the "sand curtain", an area where there is a shortage of water and few plants. The desert area is mostly sandy beaches or sand dunes, and rocks under the sand are often found.

    Some deserts are salt flats and completely devoid of vegetation. Deserts are generally aeolian landforms. There are sometimes valuable mineral deposits in the desert, and many oil deposits have been discovered in recent times.

    The desert is rarely inhabited, and the resources are relatively easy to exploit. The desert has a dry climate, and it is also a happy place for archaeologists, who can find many human artifacts and earlier fossils.

    1. Dig a pit about 90 centimeters wide and 45 centimeters deep on the relatively humid ground, put a water collector at the bottom of the pit, hang a plastic film drawn into an arc on the pit surface, and the light energy rises the temperature of the moist soil and air in the high pit in the cavity, evaporation produces water vapor, and the water vapor condenses into water droplets when in contact with the plastic film, and slides into the vessel;

    2. The roots of desert plants contain some water, which can be dug up and squeezed to squeeze the juice to drink;

    3. By identifying the trace amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere, water sources and grasslands can be found several miles away;

    4. You can also find water sources according to the animals and plants in the desert.

    Here are a few ways to find water in the desert.

    1. Water source indicator plants.

    Finding these plants in the desert is undoubtedly the most exciting, as finding an oasis in the desert. Because this type of plant does not belong to the category of psammophytes, it needs relatively more water to survive. Their presence proves that the shallow place below them is the source of water, at least the sand layer with a lot of water.

    The most typical of this type of plant is the reed, which is usually rooted at most about 2 meters at most, surrounded by an aquifer, and the more lush it grows, the more water it contains, and even springs can be found. Same.

    The reed root (rhizome) also contains a lot of water, which can be used for emergencies and has a sweet taste. Generally, reeds mostly grow on both sides of the seasonal river or in the sandy edge area, and are also widely distributed in the hinterland of the Tarim Basin. The success or failure of using reeds for water depends on how well they grow, and if they are dry and dead, there is no water underneath them, because their growth is greatly affected by the water level.

    In addition to the reeds, rush grass and sedge bushes have shallow aquifers under the bushes, which are similar in form to reeds.

    2. Wet sand indicator plants.

    This type of plant is widely distributed, densely planted, and has a water-retaining effect. However, it is drought tolerant, and its water requirement is significantly less than the former, and the water content of wet sand near its root system is also less. Generally speaking, their roots are about 3 to 5 meters deep in the sand layer, and the moisture content of wet sand is generally not more than 3o%, and there is almost no possibility of springs under them, and they can only be used for emergencies.

    3. Direct use of plants.

    Some plants in the desert store a lot of water in their bodies in order to survive, and this is just what people do. Although it is not easy to get water from the shrubs mentioned above, you may see Cistanche parasitic on its roots, commonly known as "Daru". It weighs up to 12 kilograms individually and can weigh more than 3 kilograms at most.

    The water content is generally 15 to 30%, and finding it is like finding a natural jug. Peeling off the skin and devouring its flesh not only solves the problem of water, but also fills the hungry with rich protein, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

    Parasitic on the root of the white thorn (a small shrub common in the desert), although the size is not as good as the "big rue", but the water content is much higher than the former, its color is brown and purple, the shape is like a mallet, its flesh is white, the population is sweet, and it is another good product to satisfy hunger. But looking for both should be chosen, because they dry quickly after the flowers bloom and bear fruit, they have no edible value, and the eyes can not eat too much at a time, otherwise there is ***, the author because of a gluttony of 8 plants of locking the sun and vomiting leaves, and there is a sense of dizziness. "Da Yun" is eaten, and there are adverse reactions such as numbness of the limbs.

    In addition to the above, the parasitic column on the root of Artemisia annua, whether it is yellow or purple flowers, can be used to replenish water and satisfy hunger, but the water content is slightly lower. There are also some plants with succulent stems and succulent leaves in the desert, but most of them cannot be used for hydration, because most of these plants in the desert contain too much salt or are poisonous, and should not be eaten lightly.

    On the edge of the desert, there are some wild fruits, such as Tangut white thorn, black wolfberry and flat kernel wood, etc., which can be eaten to replenish a certain amount of water under the premise that the species can be identified.

    There are many rivers in the desert, such as the Nile in the Sahara Desert, the Tarim River in the Taklamakan Desert, and the Indus River in Pakistan. There are not only rivers, but also groundwater, but most of it is salty. The main reason for the formation of the desert is the low precipitation in the local area, but the water in other places will flow through the desert as well, and the deeper places are far away from the sun, and the water is not easy to evaporate.

    In addition, there are some more unique water sources, such as the lakes in the Badain Jaran Desert, the reason for the formation is a bit mysterious, and there is no exact statement of where the water comes from.

    The desert has water, but it is not abundant, and its annual precipitation is only a little more than 100 millimeters, which is far less than the amount of evaporation.

    There are rivers in the desert, which are melted by ice and snow, like the Tarim River in the Taklamakan Desert in our country.

    Groundwater in the desert is not abundant because there is very little groundwater recharge** in the desert.

    The water in the desert is found in the desert oasis, which is very rich in water.

    Desert Oasis Formation Causes:

    The water of the oasis is the snow and ice of the desert high mountains, which melt and flow down the slopes of the mountains in the summer, forming rivers. When the river flows through the desert, it seeps into the sand and becomes groundwater. Groundwater gushes out of the ground when it flows down impervious rock formations to low-lying areas of the desert.

    In addition, rainwater from afar seeps into the ground and can also flow into the low-lying areas of the desert in confluence with groundwater. Or due to changes in the earth's crust, impermeable rock formations are fractured, causing groundwater to flow along the fissures to low-lying desert areas and wash out of the ground. The low-lying land is watery, and the various digging and blind spike creatures come into being, thus forming an oasis.

    An oasis in the desert with abundant water and fertile soil, suitable for the growth of agricultural crops and other plants. Oases often form strange landscapes.
