Chaiwo Castle Lake: Water Qingshi Green Bird Flying

Reporter Wang Yayun

From 0.18 square kilometers to 22.41 square kilometers, the area has expanded by more than 100 times.

From 60,000 cubic meters to 20.6 million cubic meters, the water storage capacity increased by more than 300 times.

The changes of these numbers record the trajectory of the ecological recovery of Chaiwao Lake, and also witnessed the green changes of the green shore of Chaiwo Lake.

Chaiwaobao Lake has now become an important post and habitat for migratory bird migration, where thousands of birds can be observed here. The picture is provided by the Management Office of the National Wetland Park of Chaiwo Lake in Urumqi

"Exam" the cause of "diagnosis"

Out of Urumqi city, about 45 kilometers southeast, the Tiangeerfeng covered by ice and snow, the "big windmill" that moves with the wind, and the wetlands of the water and sky, from a distance, a layered landscape forest field The natural beauty of the lake and grass is the eye -catching scene.

The thick green background is the largest natural freshwater lake around Urumqi and the only national wetland park in Urumqi, Urumqi Chaiwo Lake National Wetland Park, which can be called the "kidney" and "lung leaves" of Urumqi.

However, today's victory has been reappeared after transformation.

In 2017, when the Eighth Environmental Protection Inspection Team entered Xinjiang to carry out environmental inspections, Chaiwaobao Lake was "inspected" and the cause of "diagnosis" was "diagnosed".

On January 2, 2018, the Eighth Environmental Protection Supervision Team pointed out to Xinjiang's feedback environmental inspection opinion: The long -term super groundwater around the Lake of Chaiwaobao Lake seriously affected the hydration of the lake, which caused the lake area to shrink sharply.

Since the end of the 1990s, with the increasing increase in agriculture, industrial, and living water, regional groundwater mining has continued to intensify, which has led to a sharp shrinking since 2012 in Chaiwaobao Lake. The surrounding wetlands degradation, severe saline of the lake, the sharp decrease in the biological decrease in the lake, and the severe degradation of the ecological environment of the lake basin.

Pointing in the goal of the problem

On July 15th, Han Peng, director of the Management Office of the National Wetland Park of Chaiwo Lake in Urumqi Qi, told reporters that at present, the water storage volume of Chaiwao Lake has increased from 60,000 cubic meters in 2014 to the current 20.6 million cubic meters, an increase of 300 Multiple times.

In fact, the "rescue" project for Chaiwo Lake began as early as 2012. The autonomous region incorporates Chaiwo Lake into the pilot of the lake ecological governance, and establishes the management office of the National Wetland Park of Chaiwo Lake Lake Lake in Urumqi to regulates the long -term inspection of the river (lake).

More powerful measures began in the launch of the "Water Situation of Chaiwo Lake in Urumqi City" in September 2017. Urumqi invested 449.6 billion yuan to implement 4 major types of projects in the four categories of water pollution prevention and control of watershed water pollution, watershed ecological protection and restoration, regional industrial structure adjustment and water -saving projects, and watershed environmental supervision capacity construction.

"The 21,000 acres of farmland of Chaiwaobao Lake implemented the" reciprocating lake ", which stopped the agricultural irrigation water of the two rivers around the surrounding rivers and shut down 24 eye agricultural machine wells. Only these two items can save 36 million cubic meters of water each year. The above. "Han Peng said.

At the same time, Urumqi invested 794 million yuan to build the Urumqi River flood division project with a total length of 34.88 kilometers. Since the entire line in June 2019, it has been supplied to the Chaiwo Lake District for about 28 million cubic meters of water for two years. The 3050 mu of wind -proof forest project implemented at the same time also effectively improved the surrounding ecological environment.

Guardian ecological victory reproducible

In the midsummer of Chaiwo Castle, the reeds swayed, the breeze passed through the rustling, and the sound of the water birds broke into the air from time to time. A 3 kilometer -long winding wood plank was deepened to the beautiful scenery.

On both sides of the wooden path, a picture, a name, a QR code, just pick up the mobile phone and scan, you can have a multi -dimensional three -dimensional bird knowledge science. In the small two -dimensional code, it not only has detailed information such as appearance characteristics, lifestyle habits, growth and reproduction, geographical distribution, etc., but also equipped with birds called audio.

Today's Chaiwo Lake has ushered in a large number of birds such as gray cranes and egrets. There are thousands of birds observed on the wide lakes. This has become an important post and habitat for migratory bird migration. With the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, the number and types of Chaiwao Lakes and plants are increasing. There are 484 species of plants and 205 birds. They often have wild pigs, foxes, and goose throats.

"The environment is good here, and I am very happy to work in Wetland Park every day." Han Changlin, who has been a forest guard in Chaiwaobao Lake National Wetland Park for 5 years. Guarding this natural green "lung" has become a willing dedication to Han Changlin.

The Management Office of Chaiwo Lake National Wetland Park in Urumqi also set up a scientific research investigation team to monitor the types and quantities of animals and plants, make wetland plants and insect specimens, record data such as meteorological and air quality, and regularly monitor the area and water depth of the lake.

The branches are lush and green, and the clouds are flying hundreds of birds. Looking forward to the long and long water of Chaiwo Lake.
