| description |
The report looks critically at the water
resources and the current and projected future water demands
in the Southern Gobi Region (SGR) using the widely dispersed
data and information that are currently available. An
important conclusion of the report is that almost all the
significant sources of groundwater in the SGR are
'fossil' or 'non-renewable', meaning
that they are finite resources which cannot be replenished.
Not only will that, but pumping water out of these fosil
aquifers tend to cause a drop in the groundwater levels
above them. The report proposes practical steps by which
water resources development and management could be managed
to best serve economic and infrastructure development while
giving attention to environmental protection and service to
communities in the SGR. The report also highlights the
urgent need for more data. A more detailed picture of the
distribution and quantity of the groundwater would give
planners first, a better idea of both the limits to the
growth of the SGR; and, second, of the future water demands,
its spatial distribution, quality requirements, and the
possibilities to increase water use efficiency and water
re-use. Thus there is a need to bring all information and
data together to form the basis for rational planning. |
