Study on the evolution of ecological environment and irrigation behavior since mulched drip irrigation in Yanqi basin, Xinjiang.

ABSTRACT: Analyzing the ecological and behavioral effects of changes in irrigation practices in oases provides valuable insights for water resource management and the sustainable development of oasis agriculture in arid regions. Taking the Yanqi Basin as a case study, this research draws on long-term empirical data and remote sensing information to evaluate the ecological and irrigation behavior effects resulting from shifts in irrigation methods. And explores the deep societal causes behind these behavioral changes. The findings demonstrate: (1). Between 2000 and 2010, the rapid adoption of groundwater extraction and mulched drip irrigation (MDI) technology temporarily alleviated the water supply-demand contradiction. However, from 2010 to 2020, as the adoption of water-saving practices significant
