An Analysis on Water-Saving Potential in Central and Northern Part of Ningxia

Abstract:

This paper aims at analyzing the status of water resources in central and northern part of Ningxia, and tries to design a series of water-saving measures based on the principle of water conservation, combined with local situation and the content of land consolidation construction project. This study also includes an analysis on the water-saving potential after carrying out those measures. The results of the study show that the channels assemble care and field transformation can reduce the water loss of 259,810,700 m3, and the potential amount of water saved after the implementation of engineering measures is 157,199,500 m3.
