natural resource

1, climatic conditions

Habahe County has a continental cold climate in the north temperate zone, characterized by unknown four seasons, windy spring drought, short heat in summer, cool autumn and long and cold winter. Dry air, less rainfall and large evaporation; With abundant sunshine and large temperature difference, the vertical zonal climate changes obviously with latitude.

(1) light and heat resources

Light and heat are the basic conditions for the survival of crops. According to the observation of weather station in Habahe County, the annual average sunshine hours in Habahe County are 2950 hours, with the most years reaching 3 123 hours and the least years 262 1 hour. The annual sunshine percentage averages 63%. During the peak period of crop growth from June to August, the sunshine hours reached more than 1000 hours, accounting for 34.7% of the annual sunshine hours, and the sunshine percentage reached more than 72%. The annual total solar radiation is 134.4 kcal/cm2, and the biological radiation is 64.5 kcal/cm2, which is very beneficial to the growth and development of vegetation.

Due to the complex terrain of Habahe River, the temperature difference in different areas is large. Judging from the average temperature over the years, it is about 4℃ below 600 meters above sea level and about 0.5℃ above sea level 1200 meters. In July, the average temperatures in the plain and mountainous areas were 265,438 0.6℃ and 65,438 0.6℃ respectively, and the extreme maximum temperature was 39℃. However, dry and hot winds often appear in July, which affects wheat filling and reduces production. There is a cold wave in winter, which often poses a threat to animal husbandry. The average accumulated temperature above 0℃ in plain area is 3 133.9℃, and the average active accumulated temperature above 10℃ is 2658.6℃. In the frost-free period (< 0℃) in the plain area, the temperature is slightly different between the east and the west, with 144 and 126 days in the east of the plain, and the shortest in the mountainous area, which is only suitable for planting cool crops. According to relevant data, the accumulated temperature of > 10℃ will decrease by about 100℃ with one degree of latitude increase, and it will decrease by120℃-/kloc-with one degree of altitude increase.

(2) Precipitation and snowfall

Altai mountain system constitutes a natural barrier in the northern part of Habahe County. After the westerly circulation is lifted by the mountain, it is easy to condense clouds and accumulate rain, so there is more precipitation in the mountainous area. However, the rainfall decreases inversely from north to south, and the spatial distribution is uneven. The average annual precipitation in the plain 172.2- 178mm, the hilly area of Zhongshan is 268mm, and the elevation is more than 2000 meters, which nourishes the growth of forage in summer. The time distribution of rainfall is also uneven, which varies greatly from year to year. The average rainy year in the east is 250mm, and only 90mm is in rainy years. The rainfall in rainy and dry years in the western plain exceeded 300 mm and 72.33 mm respectively. Although the rainfall is small, the rainfall from April to September accounts for more than 60% of the whole year, which plays a positive role. Years of data have proved that in rainy years, the output of agriculture and animal husbandry has increased greatly, which has affected production.

The snowfall period is the shortest in the western plain, the longest in the east and the longest in the hilly and mountainous areas. Generally speaking, the average annual snowfall time in the western plain is about 179 days, and the average annual snowfall time in the eastern plain is about 190 days, and the snowfall time in mountainous and hilly areas is longer. As far as the snowfall days are concerned, the average annual snowfall days in the western plain are about 30 days, 40.5 days in the east, and more in hilly areas. Judging from the snowfall, the average annual snowfall in the eastern plain is 44cm, 54cm in the west, about 88cm in hilly areas, and more in mountainous areas.

It is windy in winter in Habahe County, which makes the snow near the village, windbreak forest and back snow thicker, while the snow is thinner in the flat Gobi desert and fields, forming a pile of snow in the east and a ridge in the west, and even there is no snow on some ground. The mountainous area is snowy and rainy, and a large number of glaciers have formed in the mountainous area. The water source of melting ice continuously supplies the river water, which has the effect of rainfall in mountains and rivers and all the year round. Abundant water conservancy and hydropower resources provide superior conditions for the county's economic construction and social development.

(3) Wind energy resources

The wind resources in the mouth of the Erqis River valley between Altay Mountain and Shawuer Mountain are very rich, and the wind power in the plain is generally greater than that in hills and mountains. Even at the same time, the wind in the plain area is different. The average annual wind speed in the east of the plain is 4.5m/s, and that in the west is 3.9m/s, and the main wind direction is east-west. Over the years, the gale with magnitude 8 or above averaged 62.2 days, the maximum was 102 days, the annual average daily wind speed was 4m/s, and the average was 187 days (the minimum was 152 days), especially in early spring and early winter, which was unfavorable to animal husbandry. Strong winds in spring cause soil moisture loss and quicksand, which makes it difficult for crops to emerge and protect their seedlings. The strong wind in July caused crops to fall and reduce production. Rich in wind power resources, it can be used for power generation, water surface improvement, etc. To alleviate the problem of insufficient energy and labor force is also to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

(4) Meteorological disasters

The main meteorological disasters in Habahe County are drought, wind disaster, low temperature, cold wave, frost, hail and dry hot wind. Whenever they appear, it is hard for ordinary people to resist, which brings certain losses to agricultural and animal husbandry production.

Habahe county belongs to the sub-cold climate, and the light and heat resources can only meet the requirements of one-year agricultural planting system. However, due to high visibility, strong sunshine intensity and large temperature difference between day and night, it is helpful for the accumulation of dry matter of green plants and the formation of high-quality agricultural products with large fruits. As far as agricultural planting structure is concerned, only cash crops such as grain with low requirements for light and heat resources can be planted, and the effective accumulated temperature in this area can not meet the requirements of cotton planting.

2. Water resources

Habahe county is rich in water resources, and rivers, groundwater, glaciers and lakes are its main water resources carriers.

(1) River

There are four main rivers in this county: Baja River, Brezek River, Irtysh River and Ala Kebek River. The total length of the main stream is 433 kilometers, the annual runoff is 65.438+0.003 billion cubic meters, and the county's per capita water consumption is 65.438+0.23.799 cubic meters, which is 27 times that of the whole country and 63 times that of Xinjiang. Its rich water resources can even rival the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Habahe River runs through the north and south of the county and plays a decisive role in the economic and social development of the county. The average annual flow of this river in 22 years is 210.53 billion cubic meters. The annual water quantity changes little, but it changes obviously in seasons. There are wet periods and dry periods in a year. May-September is the wet season, and the water volume accounts for 78.08% of the whole year, reaching168 100000000 cubic meters, which is consistent with the period of high water demand for crop growth. The dry season from10 to April of the following year is 439 million cubic meters, accounting for 2 1.92% of the annual water volume. At present, only 378 million cubic meters are developed and utilized, accounting for 17.56% of the total inflow. The county's remaining water is 9.594 billion cubic meters, of which 65.438+77.5 billion cubic meters of Habahe water flows abroad in vain. Due to the uneven geographical distribution of soil-water combination and limited water development at present, the irrigated grassland area is not large, and some farmland is threatened by drought, so it is urgent to overcome the problem of drinking water for livestock in winter.

According to another survey, the hydropower reserve of Habahe River is 450,000 kilowatts, and the hydropower development potential is huge, but the hydropower development is still in the primary stage. In winter, the electricity consumption for production and life in the county is not guaranteed, and the power shortage has become the main limiting factor for the county's economic construction and social development. Baja River belongs to Hull water system, which involves the problem of water distribution and needs to be solved as soon as possible.

(2) Groundwater

Habahe county is rich in groundwater resources. In mountainous areas, due to the melting of precipitation and snow, part of it flows into rivers, and part of it supplies groundwater through bedrock cracks, forming fissure water. Part of it flows out of the river in the form of spring water, and the other part is used for irrigation. According to estimates, Habahe County uses mountain spring water to irrigate an area of about 300,000 mu every year, with a total amount of 400 million cubic meters.

Due to the difference of topography, the distribution of water resources in plain area of Habahe County is very different. The buried depth of groundwater in Hedong plain varies with topography, generally between 0.5 and 2.0 meters. However, with the change of seasons and the need of irrigation, the groundwater level is constantly changing, and its depth varies from 2 meters to 10 meters. The groundwater in Hexi Plain is deeply buried, generally at 10-40m. In the south of Erqis River, except for some bedrock fissure water and shallow groundwater buried areas, wells have been drilled to solve drinking water for people and livestock, and other large-scale spring and autumn grassland groundwater is buried deeply, with the depth generally more than 20 meters. At present, due to the lack of systematic exploration of groundwater resources in this county, the groundwater reserves are still unclear.

(3) glaciers

Altai Mountain is above the permafrost zone. There are 390 modern glaciers on the top of the mountain all the year round, with a total area of 247.55 square kilometers and an ice storage capacity of 654.38+0.479 billion cubic meters, equivalent to a water storage capacity of 654.38+0.3./kloc-0.4 billion cubic meters. Among them, there are 35 glaciers in the upper reaches and source of Baja, covering an area of 3 1.26 square kilometers, and the estimated water storage capacity is 1.685438+0 billion cubic meters, which is a stable water source for Baja. There is a large area of ice marsh under the glacier, covering an area of 400.4 square kilometers, which stores a lot of water and plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the Baja River.

(4) Lakes

There are more than 10 lakes in China, with a total area of 1.73 square kilometers, equivalent to 2590 mu, and the water depth is generally between 0.5 and 6 meters. The larger lakes are: Quexian Lake, with an area of 0.5 square kilometers and a water depth of 2.5 meters; Lake Amanbai, with an area of 0.52 square kilometers and a water depth of 1 m; Lake Rekole, with an area of 0.2 square kilometers and an average depth of 1 m. Lakes are favorable resources for developing fisheries.

Habahe county is rich in water resources, which is a prerequisite for large-scale water and soil development in arid areas. With the deep development and utilization of water resources, the uncultivated wasteland in the county will be further utilized. In particular, the comprehensive development and regulation of water resources in the Irtysh River will effectively alleviate the water shortage problem in other cities in Xinjiang. Abundant water resources in Habahe County will gradually become the well-being of people in northern Xinjiang.

3. Land resources

Habahe county has a vast territory, large plain area, contiguous land, fertile soil and great development potential. By the end of 2005, the county's cultivated land area was 654.38 0.90 million mu, accounting for 654.38 0.56% of the total area. The forest area is 639,500 mu (1989 verified by the regional forestry department), accounting for 5.32% of the total area; The grassland covers an area of 7,906,600 mu, accounting for 65.76% of the total area (excluding grassland under forest and wasteland of agricultural reclamation). Due to extensive management, land reuse, light farming and extensive farming, the fertility is declining year by year. At present, the general fertility status of soil is "lack of ammonia, phosphorus and potassium".

The soil layer is thin, coarse and gravelly, with strong water permeability, easy to be eroded, and poor water and fertilizer conservation ability. There are a lot of sediments under the tillage layer in the underlying tertiary mudstone. On the one hand, this soil structure can reduce the leakage of water and fertilizer, on the other hand, it is easy to cause soil moisture and secondary salinization due to improper irrigation. The area of middle and low yield farmland in the county accounts for more than 70% of the cultivated land area, which has a great influence on the improvement of agricultural output.

4. Animal and plant resources

Habahe county has a vast territory, complex terrain, a wide variety of animals and plants and rich resources.

(1) wildlife resources

① Mammals: 14 family, including lynx, snow sweeper, red deer, red fox, beaver, wild goat, sable and mountain rabbit. ② Poultry: 34 families, including swan, grouse, snow chicken and golden eagle. (3) Fish: 9 families, including 4 rare species belonging to the Irtysh River, such as Siberian sturgeon, hucho, small-scale salmon and long-necked whitefish. ④ Amphibians: 9 species in 7 families. ⑤ Insects: 39 families 100 species, mostly agricultural and forestry pests. Besides, there are dozens of other animals.

(2) Plant resources

① Forest plants: there are primary forests in mountainous areas, secondary forests in river valleys and desert forests in plains, with 20-30 species of trees. Among them, Abies sibirica, Picea sibirica, Larix sibirica and Pinus sibirica belong to the national rare plants. ② Forage plants: Due to geographical reasons, seasonal grassland has been formed, which can be divided into ten categories, twenty-nine subcategories and eighty-one grassland plants. ③ Medicinal plants: There are more than 200 kinds of medicinal plants in China, among which Ephedra, Bupleurum, Fritillaria, Lily, Thyme, Adenophora adenophora, Codonopsis pilosula and Cordyceps sinensis are precious medicinal materials.

Wild animal and plant resources are an important material basis for human production and life, and human food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to them. It is also an important strategic resource, which preserves rich genetic diversity and provides a broad space for human survival and development. Agricultural biological species are the result of the continuous domestication and reproduction of wild animal and plant species by working people for thousands of years. Strengthening the protection and rational utilization of wildlife resources is of great significance for safeguarding China's food and ecological security, promoting the sustainable development of agriculture and rural economy and society, and building a new socialist countryside.

5. Mineral resources

Habahe County spans two main structural units, Hanas-Mandeicha nappe and Karadzic geosyncline fold belt, with complex geological structure, diverse sedimentary structures, frequent magmatic activities and superior metallogenic conditions. At present, nearly 30 kinds of minerals have been discovered, including 18 deposits, including 2 large-scale deposits, 4 medium-sized deposits (one of which is symbiotic), 2 small-scale deposits 12, and 7 mineralization points and occurrences1.

The development of history

1930 was promoted to Habahe County, Zuo Wei, named after Habahe. Baha 'i, Mongolian, means that the riverbed is steep and the drop is large; When it is said that it means "_ _" (that is, five black) fish, it refers to a small fish, so this river produces this kind of fish, hence the name. Kazakh can also be interpreted as dense forest. "hieroglyphics of the Western Regions" said: "Zhunyu Baha is the name of a small fish, hence the name of this small fish." Also known as Akqi, Kazakh language, which means Achnatherum splendens; In the past, this place was Achnatherum splendens Beach, hence its name.

The Tang Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Khufu, the Northern Academy, the Yuan Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, and the Qing Dynasty was under the command of Vice President Antai Dingbian. 19 12, Habahe area is under the jurisdiction of Burqin County. In 10 (192 1), Habahe County set up an assistant, and in 1930 it was promoted to county. It has successively belonged to Ashan Administrative Region, Ashan Special Zone and Altay Special Zone. 1970 belongs to Altay region.

1984 Aheqi Town.
