Another miracle was born in China, why did the lake that had been dry for 60 years come back to life

In the last century, with the progress of human science and technology, industry and agriculture have developed vigorously, but people have not paid attention to protecting the environment, resulting in the gradual deterioration of the environmentAir and water pollution are serious, oases have turned into deserts, and the environment for human habitation is getting worse and worse. Only then did people realize that the development of industry and agriculture should go hand in hand with the protection of the environment.

In Minqin County, Gansu Province, there is a Qingtu Lake, which used to be very beautiful and magnificent, but it dried up for 60 years due to changes in the natural environment around it. It was not until 2019 that Qingtu Lake was brought back to life after artificial treatment. <>

In the early days, the water area of Qingtu Lake was large. It is the largest freshwater lake in Gansu, with an area of more than 4,000 square kilometersIt's only a little smaller than Qinghai Lake. Until the early days of liberation, the area of Qingtu Lake shrank to more than 100 square kilometers, and by 1959, Qingtu Lake had completely dried up.

In the early days, Qingtu Lake was beautiful. The lake is sparkling and surrounded by lush vegetation and is home to countless rare birds. The scenery is different in the morning and evening, and the scenery of the four seasons is different, and it is a place full of vitality and life. <>

Over time, the environment has gradually deteriorated, and the ecology around Qingtu Lake has also changed. The Hongyashan Reservoir was built around Qingtu Lake, which caused the surface water level around Qingtu Lake to drop and could not replenish the water source of Qingtu Lake, resulting in the reduction of the water area of the entire Qingtu Lake, which gradually dried up, and by 1959, Qingtu Lake had completely dried up. After drying up, the original Qingtu Lake became a desert, and more seriously, the desert area expanded at a rate of 7 to 10 meters per year, which caused a great blow to the local ecology and brought great inconvenience to the lives of the people.

The local residents were no longer able to live here and all moved out. <>

** And the people have not stopped the pace of environmental governance, and the desire to save Qingtu Lake has always been in people's hearts. In 2019, Minqin County** began to restore the environment of Qingtu Lake, first planting trees, controlling sandstorms, and introducing 12.9 million cubic meters of ecological water in September. Although some of the water was lost, 8.6 million cubic meters of water was injected into the lake.

With the moisture of water, the vegetation is revived again, all things give birth to life, the ecology of Qingtu Lake is restored to balance again, and Qingtu Lake is alive again.

Qingtu Lake, a beautiful lake, is gradually restoring its old appearance, and people have also made efforts for Qingtu Lake, believing that the future of Qingtu Lake will get better and better under people's governance.

Due to people's lack of attention to the natural environment, many lakes, rivers and wetlands have slowly dried up, and grasslands have slowly turned into deserts, such as the Tarim River and Lop Nur desert. But it's hard to turn a desert into an oasis. But in China, a miracle was born, and the lake that had been dry for 60 years was reborn - Haranoer Lake

Haranoer Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Gansu Province and a river lake in the lower reaches of the Shule River. It is located in Hara Nuoer, Dunhuang, Gansu Province, which is majestic in Mongolian language and Nuoer is lake. Haranoer Lake is also known as Haranaoer, Haranoer, and Heihaizi.

In the sixties and seventies of the last century, with the migration of Hexi, the gradual interruption of the Shule River, the sharp decline of the groundwater level, and the construction of the Changma, Shuangta and Danghe reservoirs in the upper reaches of the river, Haranoer Lake completely dried up. The vegetation has not adapted to the living environment, most of it has withered, the area of the oasis has been shrinking, and the land salinity and desertification have increased. <>

But for the people of Gansu, that is their home, their roots! No matter how hard, tiring, and difficult it is, we must turn the desert into an oasis and create a beautiful home for future generations. **Go to the place** to find the reason together, study the method, and formulate a plan.

To this end, in 2011, the state launched the implementation of the "Dunhuang Comprehensive Plan for the Rational Utilization of Water Resources and Ecological Protection", and approved the appropriate transfer of water from the Daharten River in Qinghai to the Danghe River Basin. Finally, with the strong support of the state and the efforts of all Gansu people, the lake that has been dry for 60 years has regained its former "beauty". This also proves that China is a country that can create miracles.

After 60 years, the Gobi Desert finally has a "sea", although it is now only 24 square kilometers, less than half of the heyday of Haranor Lake. However, its vitality marks the initial results of China's ecological governance project, and also lays a solid foundation for the next ecological protection plan.

Miracles are a regular occurrence in the land of China, when a lake that has been dry for 60 years is once again filled with water. The reason for this is that geological movements cause tectonic plates to move back into the lake.

1. The Songhua River is suspended due to the low water level.

2. The world-famous Baiyangdian Lake is about to dry up.

3. Most of the springs such as Baotu Spring in Jinan can no longer gush out4. In the 50s, there was still a large area of Lop Nur, which has dried up for a long time5. In the 60s, the Alxa grassland in Inner Mongolia, where the wind blows grass and sees cattle and sheep, has become the Alxa Desert.

The construction of the Hongyashan Reservoir directly led to the drying up of Qingtu Lake. In 1958, the construction of Hongyashan Reservoir began. As a result, in 1959, not long after the construction of the Hongyashan Reservoir was completed, Qingtu Lake dried up.

The key point is that the Hongyashan Reservoir intercepts most of the water flow of the Shiyang River, leaving the Qingtu Lake with no water to replenish. In addition, the climate of Minqin County is arid, and the rainwater supply is very small. So, Qingtu Lake dried up in 1959.

After Qingtu Lake dried up, the desertification of the entire Minqin County became more and more serious!

Minqin County artificially replenished water to bring Qingtu Lake back to life. Since 2010, Qingtu Lake has been revitalized. Today, the water area of Qingtu Lake is more than 26 square kilometers.

On both sides of Qingtu Lake, there are a large number of reeds, which look full of life. So, how did Qingtu Lake come back to life?

It turned out that since 2010, the Minqin County Taxation Bureau has begun to carry out ecological water distribution for Qingtu Lake. From 2010 to 2019, Minqin County distributed as many cubic meters of water to Qingtu Lake, and the water area of Qingtu Lake increased from 3 square kilometers to square meters, forming as many as 106 square kilometers of arid wetlands.

Finally, the interesting review believes that if people and nature want to achieve harmony, they should not think about forcibly changing nature. The construction of a Hongyashan reservoir in a desert area now seems to be unreasonable. Thankfully, Qingtu Lake has now come back to life.

Interesting review hopes that an ecological tragedy like the drying up of Qingtu Lake will never happen again!

Do you know what kind of lake it is, which lake has been dry for 60 years, and it is now very beautiful, and it is overgrown with grass and has a great view? Maybe you must have heard of Qinghai Lake, but you may not have heard or do not necessarily know about Qingtu Lake, in fact, Qingtu Lake is located in Gansu Province, he is the largest lake in Gansu Province, the area is very large. It was rumored on the Internet that he was about the size of 625 West Lake.

I don't know if you've ever been to Hangzhou West Lake, Hangzhou West Lake is very big, and it's very famous.

If you have been to Hangzhou West Lake, you can probably imagine how big Qingtu Lake is, because it is as large as 625 West Lakes in Hangzhou. But he was very unfortunate that he drank it completely dry up one year, probably in 1959. The reason for the drying up of such a large lake is actually the fact that a large part of the local population accounts for a large part.

This is because of the large amount of water used by the inhabitants and the construction of many large reservoirs upstream of the lake. As a result, Qingtu Lake has lost its water replenishment, and there is no continuous flow of water into the lake. As a result, the area of Qingtu Lake is getting smaller and smaller.

Eventually, desertification began, so by 1959 it had dried up completely. Of course, we know that after the lake dried up, the local residents did not have enough water, and they lost their water **. Many residents have relocated to other places for this reason.

China** in order to prevent this situation from continuing to worsen. The method of afforestation to block the wind and sand has been adopted. This method has greatly improved the drying up of the lake.

They were going to introduce 12.9 million cubic meters of water into the household, but we all know that water can evaporate at any temperature, so at that time, due to evaporation, only about 8.8 million cubic meters of water were successfully injected into the light lake. But it also saved the rebirth of Qingtu Lake, which has been dry for 60 years, and the scenery of Qingtu Lake is still very beautiful. If you like to go to the sea or like to go to the beach, and want to relax and release stress, I think Qingtu Lake is a very good place to go, after all, it is very large, and it will make people feel very comfortable.

Although he has become a good view now. Beautiful scenery. It didn't affect the normal life of the local residents, but I think it is very important for people to have such a large area of the lake.

There are many lakes in the world that have freshwater lakes, but we know that freshwater resources are very scarce. Water is very important, water is the source of life, I hope we can all be environmentally friendly, and implement environmental protection into our own lives. Take care of the environment.

It starts with you and me. Caring for nature and living in harmony with nature is what we should do.

This lake is a Qingtu Lake, and it can slowly have water at present, which can only show that China's environment has been greatly improved.

I think it should be because of geological changes, after years of geological movements, they have changed.

This lake is Qingtu Lake, located in Minqin County in Gansu Province, and before it dried up, it covered an area of more than 4,000 square kilometers, making it the largest lake in the region. In order to change the status quo, Minqin County started from many aspects, first afforestation to block the sandstorm, and in September this year, 12.9 million cubic meters of ecological water was introduced into Qingtu Lake, but in the process of injection, due to evaporation and leakage, 8.6 million cubic meters of ecological water was finally injected into Qingtu Lake. Now it has come back to life.

The world is so big that there are no surprises. China's most mysterious lake, which has dried up for decades and has a water source again? This phenomenon really exists, and this lake is Lop Nur, which is known as the "Sea of Death".

Let's find out.

Lop Nur is a lake located in the southeastern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. Because of its shape like a human ear, Lop Nur is known for"Ears of the Earth";Also called"Sea of Death", also known as Rob Naoer。Later, after the transformation of geological engineers, it became"City of Hope"。

Lop Nur was also once the second largest inland lake in China, at 780 meters above sea level. Before 330 A.D., there were many lakes, and the Loulan City on the northwest side was famous"The Silk Road"Throat, afterDue to climate change and the impact of human water conservancy projects, the upstream water has decreased until it has dried up, and now it is only a large salt crust.

Since Lop Nur has been dry for decades, why is there suddenly a water source again?

It turned out that after Lop Nur dried up, a layer of salt with a thickness of 30 centimeters to 1 meter formed on the surface。According to statistics, these potash salts are about more than 100 million tons. In 2001, the Xinjiang State Investment Corporation launched a project.

That is, the brine of the saline lake is extracted from the ground, and the potassium sulfate is processed and produced through the sun in the salt pans.

We know that a large amount of salt lake brine pumped from the ground is discharged into the lowlands, so a salt lake with an area of 10,000 square kilometers is formed, which is what we now call a water source.

This mysterious lake is located in the northwest of our country in a freshwater lake called Haranor Lake.

I haven't understood that the lake site would have been filled in if it had dried up for more than ten years.

It must be because people have made renewed efforts to green.

This is the will of God, and God says you can't do it anymore, so he has water.

It refers to Lop Nur, which gradually recovered after persistent and effective management, and water sources began to appear again.

There should be some basis for this statement, after all, the influence of climate.

China's most mysterious lake, Lop Nur, is home to all sorts of mysterious legends and historical sites, which completely dried up for various reasons, and later due to the extraction of potashLop Nur, which has been dry for decades, has a new source of water!

Lop Nur is located in the southeast of Xinjiang, once the second largest salt water lake in China, with an area of about 3,000 square kilometers, because the shape of the lake is very similar to the human ear, so it is also called the ear of the earth, with human activities and climate changes, the lake water of Lop Nur slowly becomes dry. Until the end of the 70s of the 20th century, Lop Nur was completely covered by the desert, and since then Lop Nur has become a "desert sea" and the most mysterious lake in China.

After years of investigation and research by geologists, it has been found that a thick layer of salt has formed on the surface of Lop Nur after drying up, because the underground of Lop Nur has rich brine potash resources, which are one of the most needed resources in China, according to statistics, these potash resources can be enough for 100 years of mining and utilization in China. Subsequently, the extraction of brine water from the ground to extract potash was initiatedLop Nur is now one of the few potash mining areas in China, and it is the richest potash mining area in the worldPotash is still mined today.

The reason for the reemergence of water in Lop Nur, which has been dry for decades, is precisely because in the process of extracting potash, a large amount of salt lake brine needs to be pumped underground for refiningThe excess salt lake brine slowly pooled together, eventually forming the 10,000-square-kilometer ocean salt lake that we see todayHowever, due to the high salinity of the lake, there is no sign of plant or animal activity in the surrounding area, and Lop Nur is still the most mysterious lake in China.
