Chapter 1536 Water Injection of the Yellow River
More than 200 kilometers west of Baotou, the first bend of the Yellow River, where is the water injection area of the north-south water diversion project, Baotou is currently the largest city in China, but also the largest city, the introduction of the Yellow River will not be in Baotou, is before Baotou, to ensure the water use of Baotou, but also to a certain extent, more safely increase the water volume of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River can not be compared with the Yangtze River, because the surface runoff, not as much as the Yangtze River, one is 1000 cubic kilometers, one is only 66, more than ten times worse, so the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is the land of fish and rice, but the lower reaches of the Yellow River, to the later generations of water resources have been relatively tight, in the development of industrialization to a certain extent, water resources are simply not enough, industry has very high requirements for water, especially heavy industry, even if Yang Yuanzhao has been working hard to reduce energy consumption and water consumption, but in terms of science and technology in this era, It's not easy to do.
Now, the Beijing-Tianjin-Shandong region is not the most elite area in China, but it is also quite good, North China has a large number of farmland and resources, Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, these cities, have a very strong foundation, not to mention the entire Bohai Bay, that is China's shipbuilding base, on both sides of the Bohai Bay, after being protected by super batteries, the Bohai Sea has almost become a safe inland sea, not necessarily like the United States, often in the depths of the river to build a ship base, here huge coastline, Everywhere can exist as a shipbuilding base.
On the bank of the Yellow River, a huge water conservancy hub has already been built, which is a huge artificial lake formed by excavation, with a diameter of 3 kilometers and a depth of 275 meters. If it weren't for China's possession of large construction machinery such as bulldozers and excavators, it would not have been possible to excavate such a huge artificial lake, which can store 2 cubic kilometers of water and be used as a transit for the Yellow River and the North-South Water Diversion Project.
The water injection work has continued, the water from the distant Lake Baikal, even if it has been irrigated to the Mongolian Plateau, but the Loess Plateau itself is also a plateau, the gap between the two sides is not large, in order to save energy, as long as the water injection can continue, it will no longer be irrigated, in this case, the flow speed of water is not too fast, but 2 cubic kilometers, the amount of water, equivalent to 2 billion cubic meters, this water volume is very huge, almost equivalent to one-thirtieth of the total water volume of the entire Yellow River, it takes time to live full, In a full month, it is only about half, and one-seventh of the water of the Yellow River will be gradually injected into the Yellow River.
At the other end, the sluice gate is also slowly opening, and the contact with the Yellow River has already been completed, think now, the injection of water, according to the flow rate of the early sluice, 100 billion cubic meters of water, will be divided into 300 days of injection, about 300 million cubic meters per day, but a one-time 300 million is too much, at the beginning, it will be reduced to 50 million, with the passage of time, in the gradual increase, until the Yellow River adapts, will go all out, continue to increase the amount of water injected into the Yellow River, fundamentally, change the state of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is a huge basin, as long as enough water is injected, all the areas downstream will benefit, China's farmland, the use of large agricultural farms, a large number of canals are infrastructure, these as a branch, the future will gradually fill, and even for the rational use of the Yellow River's water, so that the maximum amount of Yellow River water, are intercepted, used for agricultural and industrial production, to prevent a large amount of water, in vain into the sea, this is a waste.
The water injection ceremony was personally attended by Yang Yuanzhao, looking at such a huge project across the entire northern part of China, and even received a notice before, the root irrigation system throughout the desertification area of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia has been completely completed, in just 2 months, the grassland area of the entire Inner Mongolia has increased by 30%, which is not a small number, which represents the ecological recovery of the Mongolian grassland, such a huge increase, will directly change the regional environment, in addition to the increase in grassland, The existing pastures are also becoming more prosperous, which is due to the increase in water volume.
Large-scale breeding centers, a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses are all over the grassland, although modern warfare, in the emergence of thermal weapons and automatic weapons, the role of cavalry, has been reduced to a minimum, but it is still possible to breed some horses, and even China began to train some bloodline horses in advance to prepare for the future.
The appearance of a large number of plants, has become the best wealth, he can make the natural environment better, but also bring a stronger accumulation, especially in the most scientific breeding methods, since 1912, Mongolian livestock output has been growing, I believe that this year's data will be finally summarized when there will be a larger amount of increase, but this year is a little later, because of a large amount of water injection, so that the grassland situation in Mongolia has produced immediate changes, the Animal Husbandry Bureau can be through reconnaissance aircraft, The increase in this part of the pasture can be detected, but it is impossible to immediately arrange the increase of livestock, and can only be fine-tuned on the original basis, but it will be much better next year, when the increased pasture area will be directly reflected in the production of livestock.
The whole water ceremony is very grand, because of the appearance of Yang Yuanzhao, most of the senior officials in the whole of China, even Liu Shu came to participate, after all, he is the premier of the Government Council, these are related to the people's livelihood, are within the scope of his jurisdiction, as a person who knows the suffering at the bottom, and even knows some agriculture, he is very clear about the significance of the north-south water diversion, and has not yet entered the Yellow River, it has changed the environment of the entire Mongolia, water is the source of life, this sentence is really true, Baotou's relatively weak water volume, even close to the Yellow River, It is also not able to fully meet the needs of industrial and agricultural production, and the amount of irrigated land is less than 10 percent, and as long as the water from Lake Baikal is injected, this amount will certainly increase by a large margin.
Liu Shu came, as long as the other governments were touched with the water, they all came, and there were a few military generals, they had nothing to do with the water, but because Yang Yuanzhao came, on the bank of the Yellow River, it was considered to concentrate most of the high-level of the Chinese government, but those who could go up to cut the ribbon, that is, Yang Yuanzhao and Liu Shu, the two of them have never been very concerned with formalism, after coming, hurry up, and cut the ribbon, there is no half an hour before and after, after the two of them cut the ribbon, the water injection began, a large amount of water injection, Let the water level of the Yellow River begin to rise, the height of the water surface of the Yellow River was declining due to widening and deep excavation, and now it gradually reaches the normal level, and then gradually increases, and the reinforced dikes block the flow of water from the outside, and these water from the distant Baikal Lake swirl on the dikes, and then flow happily downward.
The first batch of water, across the Yellow River, across Baotou, and downward, according to the Yellow River flow rate of 1.5 meters per second, the average to the hour is about 5 kilometers, hundreds of hours later, this batch of water can be from the Baotou part of the Yellow River, flow downstream, but add more water, the speed slightly increased, as long as it is accompanied by the increase in the amount of water, the future of the entire Yellow River Basin in China, will become a paradise.
The biggest change is Mongolia, the characteristics of grass are that it is easy to grow, can grow anywhere, as long as there is water, and even grass seeds in arid places can survive for a long time, and will be sent out when it rains. In a river, artificially form a small sand island, no need to arrange, no more than half a month, grass will occupy this sand island, the grassland is like this, as long as there is water, you can grow, in the aerial photos, clearly shown, in just half a month's time, the previous empty, dry wasteland, there was a series of grassland, and some specially distributed three-north shelter forest, also began to lush, after all, lack of water and full of water, this is completely different.
The environment has changed, and even the surrounding feeling is different, the grass has fallen, the growth of trees is also accelerating, and all kinds of trees planted in the whole of northwest China have also received abundant water, and they are no longer tenaciously alive, but full of vitality.
In the past seven years, under the promotion of Yang Yuanzhao and the hard work of the workers, fruitful results have been produced, and the forest coverage rate has increased year after year. According to the data of a thorough census of China in 1911, which included intelligence services, the forest cover rate in China's original territory was about 27. 6. This does not include Mongolia.
After the recovery of Mongolia, China's territory increased by one-sixth, but the forest coverage rate decreased by one-seventh, after all, Mongolia is also a large-scale steppe zone, in which the forest coverage rate is very low, there are a large number of deserts and so on, at this time, the forest coverage rate has been reduced to about 23%, the planting gap is quite large, in order to plant trees, China has invested hugely, and in the following years, China's average construction of shelterbelts of 100,000 square kilometers is equal to an annual increase of less than 1%, especially after the war, The increase is still increasing, especially after the start of the north-south water diversion project, because of the water and irrigation system in the desert area, so that the forest began to appear more vigorous, the previous planting was only drought-tolerant trees, now some evergreen trees, even economic trees, can also take root in Mongolia and the northwest, completely change the environment in the northwest.
