Why is the wind so strong in Wuwei and there are more and more sandstorms?

Wuwei, which governs Minqin, is located in Hexi area, which is dry and short of water. In addition, the water volume of Shiyang River in the nearby basin is not very large, the land desertification is serious, the ecological problems are deteriorating, and the agricultural water is too much, which all leads to the expansion of the original desertification area in Minqin area.

In fact, there is a new industrial city-Jinchang under Minqin. Excessive industrial water consumption is also the reason. If a sandstorm blows, Jinchang will suffer first in China, and then move to the northwest. Therefore, greening around jinchang is also very important.
