Henan Province,Core Water Source Area of the Middle Route Project of South to North Water Diversion
Xichuan County is the head and core water source area of the South to North Water Diversion Project.There is Danjiangkou Reservoir,the largest artificial reservoir in Asia,in Xichuan County,the ecological location is very important.Due to the karst terrain around the water source area,the soil ridges are thin,the vegetation is sparse,and the problem of rocky desertification is very prominent.In order to take up the important task of sending a reservoir of water to Beijing and Tianjin,it is urgent to control the rocky desertification.Since 2016,Xichuan County has carried out comprehensive management through various methods such as artificial afforestation,aerial seeding afforestation,closed mountain afforestation,and degraded forest restoration according to different types of rocky desertification,accumulating rich experience and providing reference for rocky desertification control in rocky desertification areas.
