    It should be possible, but the project is huge, the construction period is relatively long, and the cost is relatively large, and I believe that in the future, China should be able to complete this relatively arduous task.

    No, because the project of introducing the Brahmaputra into Lop Nur is very difficult, and the Brahmaputra flows through the three countries, and the introduction of Lop Nur will lead to the opinions of neighboring countries.

    No, because the Brahmaputra is too far away from Lop Nur, and it is useless to introduce Lop Nur.

    "The Brahmaputra River flows to the Bay of Bengal. The Brahmaputra River runs through southern Tibet from west to east, bypassing the Nanga Bhava Peak in the Himalayas, turning southward, and flowing out of China via Pasigat. It is called the Brahmaputra River when it enters India and the Jamuna River when it enters Bangladesh.

    After Bangladesh meets the Ganges River, it flows into the Bay of Bengal. "It flows from northwest to southeast and is known as the Brahmaputra River until it is near Riko in Saga Prefecture. It is the confluence of three rivers, Jema Yangzongqu, Kubi Zangpo and Mayu Muzangpo, near Sangmuzhang in Dzomba County, in the Lizi River section.

    The total length is 161 kilometers, the drop is 105 meters, and the average slope. The Brahmaputra River, near the Nanjabawa Peak in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, changes from east to west to north and south, cutting out a large canyon of the Brahmaputra River. The Grand Canyon is about 505 kilometers long and has a maximum depth of 6,009 meters.

    This section of the river drops from about 4,000 meters above sea level to 155 meters above sea level.

    Like a silver dragon, the Brahmaputra River originates from the icy and snowy mountains on the northern slope of the middle section of the Himalayas above sea level, flows from west to east in the southern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world", and finally flows out of the country near Bachika, renamed the Brahmaputra River, and flows into the Bay of Bengal through India and Bangladesh. It is many kilometers long in China and ranks fifth among the country's celebrities. The area of the river basin is square kilometers, ranking sixth in the country, and the annual runoff of the country is 100 million cubic meters, second only to the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, ranking third in the country. The reserves of natural hydropower reach 10,000 kilowatts, second only to the Yangtze River and the second in the country. The riverbed is generally above a metre above sea level and is the highest river in the world.

    Brahmaputra.

    It flows into India called the Brahmaputra River. The Brahmaputra River, which flows from China to India, became known as the Brahmaputra River after merging with two other rivers in the Indian state of Assam. It flows through Bangladesh.

    It is known as the Jamuna River. Then, it connects the Ganges.

    Flows into the Indian Ocean (Gulf of Bangladesh).

    After leaving the Chinese border at Bashika, the Brahmaputra River enters the Indian state of Assam northwest of the old Sadia city. This section of the river is called the Dihan River. It is called the Brahmaputra River after the confluence of the city of Satya with the Diban and Luhi rivers, and then flows from east to west (slightly south) in the Indian state of Assam, and turns south near Tubul, and then enters the India-Bangladesh border and Bangladesh.

    Brahmaputra. The water is not drinkable. The water in this river of the Brahmaputra belongs to raw water. Raw water means that the water in the river will contain a certain number of laughing microorganisms.

    As a result, many people with poor immunity will experience gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking natural water bodies in rivers, or some people will develop ascariasis.

    The rivers in the south of our country are generally better than those in the north. And the Southwest.

    and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region have the clearest water quality. But whether it's the Brahmaputra or the Lancang.

    Nenjiang, Honghe, etc. cannot be drunk directly. Otherwise, people are likely to have adverse reactions such as diarrhea due to drinking natural water bodies.

    Historical changes of the Brahmaputra River

    The Brahmaputra River, known in ancient Tibetan, is the water that flows from the highest peak. It has three branches, the northern branch of which originates in the Gangdis Mountains.

    It's called Marong Zangpo. The middle branch is called Chema Rongdong, which is considered to be the main source of the Brahmaputra River because of the large amount of water throughout the year, and the southern branch originates from the Himalayas.

    Called Kubi Zangbo, this tributary has a large amount of water every summer.

    After the confluence of the three tributaries, the section to Lizi is collectively called the Maquan River, but in the Zhadong area, the river is also called Dabra Zangbo, which means Mahe in Tibetan, or called Mazang Zangbo, which means mother river in Tibetan. The Latse region is called the Sheep Chozangbu. To the west of Lhatse, the Brahmaputra River is collectively known as Dadro Kabu, which in Tibetan means water flowing from the mouth of a good horse.

    The place around Qushui is called Yalu in Tibetan, and the river flows.

    The area to Shannan is called Yalongyin Shannan area.

    There is a Yalung Qu that got its name, so this river is called Yalong Zangpo. However, in the Qushui area, it is pronounced as Yalu, because the exact phonetic name of the Lu-Tibetan language is Long, which means the river that flows through the valley plain from above the Qushui, so the whole section of the river is generally called the Brahmaputra River.

    Why do you have such a strange idea? The Brahmaputra River originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and finally flows into the Indian Ocean, while Lop Nur is on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang.

    01. It is impossible to divert the Yarlung Zangbo River to Lop Nur. This question is a negative proposition, I don't know why some people think like this, there are many constraints, the most important is the altitude and distance, first of all, the Brahmaputra River is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and Lop Nur is in the Taklamakan Desert, the altitude difference is at least 3,000 meters, plus the distance between the two is so far, so it is basically impossible to drain the water of the Brahmaputra River.

    02. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to drain the water of the Brahmaputra River. In addition to the above altitude and distance factors, there is also a very big difficulty in river drainage, that is, it requires huge manpower and material resources. Doesn't it take machinery and manpower to excavate a river channel?

    This is a very large expenditure, and it is more than 4,000 meters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the difficulty is self-evident, so it is unrealistic to want to drain the water of the Brahmaputra River to irrigate Lop Nur.

    Lop Nur used to have water, but I don't know what happened later, turned this place into a place where no grass grows, and this place also has a strong mystery, the ancient city of Loulan or something, all say in Lop Nur, but no one has ever really seen it, so many years, many people go to Lop Nur every year, but there are also many people who never come back, "Sea of Death" is not called in vain.

    Summary: I think the person who raised this question has not looked at the map, nor has he thought about the feasibility of this plan, I can only say that the idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

    Because of the lack of water in Xinjiang and the close proximity of these two places, people have the idea that once realized, Xinjiang will become a big garden.

    Because the fresh water resources of the Brahmaputra River are very abundant and the energy is very large, so I want to introduce the water of the Brahmaputra River into Lop Nur.
