Is it true that the evaporation on the water surface of the Three Gorges Dam has soared and the vegetation around Xi 'an has become more lush?

It is true that the vegetation around Xi 'an is lush, and the whole northwest has become a green mountain because of the Three Gorges Dam. In fact, since the Three Gorges Dam was officially impounded for power generation in 2003, the precipitation in northwest China began to increase. Especially in recent years, the precipitation is more than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, giving people the impression that the whole northwest has become a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to relevant statistics, heavy rain occurred in Xinjiang from June 15 to June 16, 20265438. The rainfall in a county reached an astonishing 90 mm, and even the precipitation in Taklimakan Desert and Hotan area exceeded 56 mm, which was 27.7 mm of the previous single-day precipitation.

In early April this year, the precipitation in northwest China was more than that in the same period last year. The precipitation in April in Lanzhou alone reached 15.4 mm, which broke the impression of drought and rain in northwest China.

Why is this happening? There are three reasons.

The first is the result of perennial afforestation in China.

The sandy soil area in China accounts for one sixth of the total land area. In order to control sandy soil, China has planted a large number of vegetation since 1979. According to statistics, from 20 16 to 2020, 529 million mu of trees have been planted in China. Among them, the Three-North Shelterbelt Project includes the northwest. All kinds of trees have changed the dry climate and reduced sandstorms.

Second, China will reduce emissions and carbon and protect the environment.

At present, the number of new energy vehicles in China is increasing, which is the result of emission reduction and carbon reduction. According to the plan, the peak of carbon dioxide emissions will be achieved in 2030; Achieve the grand goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. At present, our country is moving forward according to this established goal.

Third, major project changes.

For example, the establishment of the Three Gorges Dam not only avoided the fate of cities such as Yichang and Wuhan being flooded, but also dredged the Yellow River, turned the Loess Plateau green, and the desert in the northwest began to disappear. This is all because of the Three Gorges Dam.

It should be noted that the climate in Xi 'an before 15 was quite dry, which was not only sultry in summer, but also hardly rained all winter, with heavy smog weather. However, about five years after the closure of the Three Gorges Dam, the air in Xi 'an and Northwest China became humid and often rained, which had to be said to be the contribution of the Three Gorges Project. In a word, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets is a great wealth that we left to future generations, which is unmatched by money in the real world.
