Post-Evaluation of the Ecological and Environmental Impact of Water Diversion Project in the Low Reaches of Heihe River

Abstract:

Since 2001, Heihe River began to carry out the project of water transforming, which caused certain effect in the ecology and environment of the whole basin. Analyzing the change of climate, the ground water, the typical plant growth and the oasis area in nearly 10 years, master the impact of water diversion to the downstream ecology and environment. It shows that the implement of the project of water transforming has decreased the desertification area, expanded the oasis area and kept down the trend of decline of a water table, the populus diversifolia and other vegetation began to recover and grow. The water diversion of Heihe River acquired preferably ecological effect; the local environment has made great improvement.
