Research on desert water management and desert control

Abstract

Ecological restoration in desertified areas is a worldwide problem. Vegetation restoration is the most sustainable method. But vegetation restoration is facing the challenge of scientific water use. The most effective method of scientific water use is to introduce new material technologies and scientific water management. In this paper, the principles and characteristics of water science materials in recent years are comprehensively analyzed, which includes the interfacial structure water transport mechanism and water droplet formation principle of structural micro-water irrigation technology, the structure self-differential dynamic principle and water transfer dynamics of water molecule infiltrated Irrigation Materials for Self-regulating soil moisture, preliminary scientific analysis and biomimetic structure test of biomimetic gel, water storage principle and characteristics of sand surface crust biomaterials. In addition, according to the characteristics of desert water resources, future research fields and characteristics of desert water science materials are inferred, and the new material technology of “smart irrigation” and “waterless irrigation” will be the leading direction for future development is put forward. However, sand control is the most fundamental solution. Combined with the experience of sand control in the non-Kubuqi desert in China, specific sand prevention plan is put forward.
