Turpan Kariz underground water system

The Qingyang Forest of Kanerjing 🌲 The water is clear, clear enough to reflect the shadow of history; the water is gentle, gentle enough to accommodate everything. But the water is also strong, and the strong water can destroy and drag. Inserting water, he can see through history and humanity. Turpan lacks water, and God only gives Turpan 16mm of precipitation a year. But Turpan is rich in water, Turpan water is in the way of thinking, only the water of thought is inexhaustible, Turpan's little water can feed a culture, nourish a living, continue an entire silk road civilization, let the green of the oasis spread in the basin. Kaner Well is the way Turpan people think about water.

Turpan has been known as "fire continent" and "wind reservoir" since ancient times, the climate is extremely dry. Turpan vegetation is scarce, so places with vegetation will be particularly cherished and valued. There will be water sources, there will be crowds; there will be crowds, there will be oasis; there will be oasis, there will be Turpan oasis civilization. The ancient working people in Turpan created Kaner Well with wisdom and hands, and drained the Tianshan Snow Water under the Turpan Basin with Kaner Well after melting and applied to production and life on a large scale. However, thanks to the popularization of Kaner Well, Turpan area has produced a more developed oasis for irrigation and agriculture civilization very early. The Turpan people have developed oasis. Therefore, it can be said that Kaner Well is the source of Oasis civilization, which has bred Turpan ancient Oasis civilization. "Without Kaner Well, there is no Turpan, and without Kaner Well, there is no Turpan civilization." As a water irrigation system, Kaner Well carries Turpan's unique culture. Kaner Well is one of the three ancient Chinese projects famous for the Great Wall of China and the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, and is a great groundwater irrigation project. Kaner Well is a special water source, anciently called "well canal". It has a history of more than 2,000 years and is a channel for groundwater access in arid land, mainly distributed in Turpan and Hami areas in the southern foothills of Bogda Mountain in eastern Xinjiang. It is the submerged flow in the formation along the dug dark canals to the ground, and then the open canals into farmland or dams. A Kaner well is generally about3--10 kilometers long. The water flow is constant in all seasons and the water volume is stable.

Kaner Well is an ancient horizontal water collection building that develops and uses groundwater, which is now called well canals. Ancient people used the slope of the mountain to cleverly create Kaner Well and divert underground flow to irrigate farmland. It is one of the three major projects in ancient China, and it is worth visiting and learning from.

Xinjiang Turpan Kanerjing project is huge, after reading the project, I feel that the ancients are really very wise

Visited the Turpan Kaner Well Groundwater Conservancy Project, it was a great project, 👍
