Xinjiang's 23rd time to the lower reaches of the Tarim River ecological water

Xinhua News Agency, Urumqi, July 7th (Reporters Li Zhihao and Zhang Xiaolong) Xinjiang launched the ecological water traffic water in the lower reaches of the Tarim River on the 6th. water. It is more special that this water recowing has been 1 to 2 months earlier than previous years.

On the same day, in the territory of Weili County, the Bayin Guo Leng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, and the lower reaches of the Tarim River, the Great West Haizi Reservoir opened the water and flowed into the dried river in the lower reaches of the Tarim River.

The reporter learned from the Xinjiang Tarim River Basin Authority that this water pouring will last until the September flood season. It is expected that the lower reaches of the Tarim River can be allowed to make the river from the West Seazi Reservoir to the River of Tama Lake in Tailing. Tong water. Under the premise of fully ensuring the water irrigation water in the basin, this ecological water transmission has been more than one month earlier than last year.

As a seasonal river, the water flow of the Tarim River mainly comes from the snow melting snow at various sources. In the summer, the water volume is large and the water volume is small in other seasons. Xu Lai, a researcher at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the ecological hydration time is advanced until July, which is of great significance to the main planting plants of the downstream coasts such as Puyang and Liuliu. Affected by the river channels every year, the plant seeds were planted for thousands of years to form a law, concentrated from August to September. Although there are many seeds, they have a short life, generally not more than 15 days. Ecological water transmission from early to July can greatly improve seed survival and realize the ecological fitting of water and seeds.

From 2000 to 2021, Xinjiang 22 times to the lower reaches of ecological water to the lower reaches of the Tarim River, and the ecological water was leaked by 8.79 billion cubic meters of ecological water from the Daxiko Reservoir. The water transmission effectively contains the situation of severe degradation of downstream ecology. The groundwater level in the water areas rises the groundwater quality, and the number and quantity of downstream movement and plant species increase, and the water environment can be improved.
