Preamble:
In the western part of the mainland, there is such a place, called the Tarim Basin, which is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the mainland, which is located inland, the terrain is relatively flat, the climate is a typical arid climate, precipitation is scarce, and water resources are very scarce.
On the southern edge of the Tarim Basin, there is a lake called Lake Taitema, which is also fed by the Tarim River, but for various reasons, Lake Taitema has been in a state of drying up for the past 40 years.
However, it is gratifying that in the near future, Lake Taitema will come back to life and the surface of the lake will reappear, and such a miracle makes people have to sigh at the miracle of nature and the great achievements made by the mainland in ecological and environmental protection.
Miracle 1: Lake Taitema has been dry for 40 years
When it comes to the world's dry lakes, the first thing that may come to mind is Lop Nur on the mainland, which used to be the second largest inland lake on the mainland, but in a previous year, due to the impact of climate change and man-made development, the lake water in Lop Nur has completely evaporated, the lake has completely dried up, and has become a huge saline-alkali land.
After Lop Nur dried up, Lake Taitma has also become the object of much attention, because it has a certain connection with Lop Nur, and it is also a water supply from the Tarim River, but it has not dried up completely like Lop Nur, but in the next 40 years, the water of Lake Taitema has not been effectively replenished, the water surface is getting shallower and shallower, and finally it is completely dried up, and there is not even a drop of lake water.
In addition, the water of Lake Taitema needs to be reached smoothly through a specific river system, and these rivers have been swallowed up by the desert at some point before, and the lake's water has been completely cut off and cannot come again, which eventually leads to the drying up of the lake.
Miracle 2: The Tarim River successfully transports water to the lake
After the Lake dried up, government departments at all levels and scientific research institutions in the Tarim River basin have been actively carrying out relevant research work, hoping to find an effective way to make the water supply of the Tarim River go smoothly and let the lake's water reappear.
In the process, researchers went deep into various places to conduct detailed surveys, and they found that some sections of the Tarim River have a very high possibility of retransporting lake water, but in this place, due to the narrow width of the river, the transportation of lake water is not easy, and it needs to be achieved through special hydraulic engineering measures.
In order to ensure that the water from the lake can be safely transported to Lake Taitma, the relevant authorities began to prepare for the construction of various water conservancy projects, and they decided to build a large water conveyance tunnel on a specific section of the Tarim River, through which the lake water can be better transported.
During this period, the government also set up the Tarim River Basin Authority, and they began to scientifically manage and manage the local water resources to ensure that the lake water can be transported effectively, and this work has been persisted until now, and has achieved very good results.
Miracle 3: Lake Taitema comes back to life
After several years of hard work, that is, in recent years, with the full completion of the construction of various water conservancy projects, the water of the Tarim River can finally smoothly pass through the specific tunnel system to the side of the Taitema Lake, and start to carry out effective water supply work.
In the beginning, the water surface of the lake was only a little bit, and after leaving a little bit it was gone, but after nearly two years, the water surface of the lake began to gradually expand, and this time, the water surface of the lake was not short-lived, but it was constantly increasing, and the water surface was getting bigger and bigger.
Thanks to the hard work of the people, Lake Taitema can finally come back to life from the dry, this time the water is very clear, and the water surface area is also very large, and the surrounding area is also full of aquatic plants, the whole lake looks very beautiful, and it has become a major tourist attraction in the local area.
During the drying up of Lake Taitema, some areas near the desert invasion were also more serious, and with the recharge of the lake, the desert invasion in these places has also been alleviated to a certain extent, so it can be said that the resurrection of the lake is not only a protection of the local ecological environment, but also a kind of help to the surrounding areas.
Epilogue:
We may think that the resurrection of the lake is a miracle and the magical charm brought by nature, but in fact, it is inseparable from the work measures of the mainland government, and even more inseparable from the joint efforts of government departments at all levels across the country.
From the drying up of Lake Taitema to the reappearance of the lake, there are countless people's hard work behind it, as well as the brilliant achievements made by the mainland in environmental protection, I hope we can get some inspiration from this matter, protecting the environment, protecting the ecology, is what each of us needs to do.
