Abstract

The opening of the new Eusasian Continental Bridge not only brings about great opportunities for development of Xinjiang, but also plays a major role in reducing the gap between the western and eastern parts of China. In general, Xinjiang section of the new Eusasian Continental Bridge goes ahead along the oasis belt of northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains with advanced economy and concentrated populattion. The main factor to determine the fate of oasis is water. There are relatively more rivers in Xinjiang section of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. But as far as the region is concerned, if we take Urumqi as the boundary, river runoff of the western section accounts for 90%, the eastern section just occupies 10%, so surface runoff is highly concentrated in the west. In this paper, river water environment and ground water environment are evaluated emphatical. On the whole, the status of water environment of seven rivers being evaluated is gradually improved and ground water quality of main cities along the bridge is good. In the future, carrying out sustainable development strategy and doing well in compositive prevention and cure should be long-term guidelines so as to ensure the normal running of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge and economic development along the continental bridge.
