摘要

Oasis is a specific landscape, usually distributed along the sides or terminal of the inland river. In China, oases are mainly located in the deserts and gobies of arid Northwest China (1). For thousands of years, the oases have played a significant role in the development of the local economy or in maintenance of the ecological safety of China. Although the area of these oases takes up only 4-5 percent of the total area of the arid regions in Northwest China, more than 90 percent of the population and more than 95 percent of social wealth are concentrated within the oases (2). The oases are not only the most concentrated area of human activities in arid regions, but are also the largest area where artificial disturbances happen at the regional scale. During the last 50 years, as the population grew and cultivated land area increased, the balance between supply and demand of water has become more serious: on the one hand, the quantity of water flowing into the downstream sharply decreased; whereas on the other hand, the water requirement greatly increased in the terminal oasis, which induced excessive exploitation of the groundwater there. This resulted in some ecological problems in the downstream oases, such as descending groundwater table depth, deteriorating water quality, death of vegetation, and land desertification, and so on (3). The aims of this article are i) to report the changes of land use and detect its impacts on groundwater in Minqin Oasis, and ii) to propose some countermeasures for ecological reconstruction in the Minqin Oasis.
