Which areas in China can the strategies and measures for preventing and controlling desertification in the former Soviet Union’s reclamation areas be used for reference?

The reclamation areas of the former Soviet Union were a failure, and the Aral Sea is the best example! The Aral Sea, located in Central Asia, was once the fourth largest inland lake in the world. The Aral Sea area was also one of the most fertile places on earth. However, due to the neglect of ecological issues in the process of transforming nature, the Aral Sea is experiencing facing an unprecedented crisis. Rabek and Aman are fishermen living in a southern village. Every day they drive their boats to fish in the Aral Sea. In the past, their village was located near the coastline, but now, because the coastline has receded by more than 100 kilometers, they have to spend several hours to get to the shore. What is the reason for such a large area of ????shrinkage in the Aral Sea? The water source of the Aral Sea is mainly fed by the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. In the 1950s and 1960s, people in the upper reaches of the two rivers carried out large-scale land reclamation movements, which resulted in a large amount of river water being used to irrigate farmland. Due to the lack of a scientific irrigation system, water wastage is extremely serious. The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers can no longer carry water to the Aral Sea. As a result, the area of ??the Aral Sea has rapidly shrunk, and it was eventually divided into the Small Aral Sea in the north and the Large Aral Sea in the south. Two parts of the Aral Sea. As the ocean area continues to shrink, desertification and environmental pollution problems have emerged one after another, and people living near the Aral Sea have felt tremendous pressure to survive. In order to save the Aral Sea, the World Bank has invested US$85 million to build a dam near the "Little Aral Sea" in Kazakhstan to gradually introduce water from the Syr Darya River into the dry lake bottom of the "Little Aral Sea". Rabek and his neighbors hope the effort will bring the Aral Sea back to their village.

We must avoid going astray and learn lessons from those behind us!
