Abstract
By employing the method of GIS spatial analysis, this paper plans and designs nine inter-basin water diversion projects and a Euro-Asia Canal system for the Eurasian Grasslands. The technical feasibility is analyzed for the key engineering projects. Technical and economic evaluations are calculated for nine water diversion projects. The multiple indirect benefits of these water diversion project and the canal system are elaborated. Main conclusions are that the water diversion and canal system projects are feasible; the economic benefits of the project are obvious; they can greatly promote economic development of countries along the ancient Silk Road.
Highlights
By employing the method of GIS spatial analysis, this paper plans and designs nine inter-basin water diversion projects and a Euro-Asia Canal system for the Eurasian Grasslands
North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA), of which the investment in that water transfer is equivalent to 26.14 CNY per cubic meter with the exchange rate in 2016
In order to accomplish the comprehensive development of the regional economy of central Eurasia, this paper provides engineering and technical schemes for the following aspects: the development and utilization of the abundant water and land resources of the Eurasian Grassland and its surrounding areas, the development of irrigation agriculture, the construction of large-scale irrigation agricultural areas
Summary
The overall principle of the inter-basin water transfer project design is based on the current level of engineering technology and with the purpose of achieving maximum water diversion benefits, which manifests mainly in 10 aspects: gravity flowing water transfer, nearest distance water transfer, taking agriculture as main destination, water-saving irrigation, recycling water use, hydro-power generation, canal navigation, flood control, ecological friendly, and technically feasible. The canal turns to the south at the elevation of 1,350 meters, runs along the eastern contour line of the open valley located at the southwest of the Maowusu sandy land, and it connects upstream of the Wuding River at the east of the joint boundary point of Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. A canal excavated from the eastern branch of Mongolia’s Gobi canal to connect with Baer Lake, which forms the second ocean passageway by running through to the Wuerxun River, Hulun Lake, Erguna River and Heilong River, and entering into the Japanese Sea or the Okhotsk Sea. The North-to- South water transfer project at Northeast Asia can form a third channel, running southward from the Vitim River to Hulun Lake, while a large diameter navigation tunnel shall be excavated.
