Groundbreaking Study Reveals Key to Sustainable Water Management in Xinjiang
The Yiwoo River in Xinjiang has three tectonic basins that store groundwater due to geological movements. Water flows from south to north, switching between surface streams and groundwater. By analyzing water balance, researchers calculated water recharge, drainage, and consumption in each basin. This helps in wisely managing water resources for sustainable use and ecological protection in the Yiwoo River Basin.
