There are different forms of water resources in Urumqi, such as glacial meltwater, surface runoff and underground runoff. Precipitation is the source of water resources supply, and the change of precipitation directly affects the change of water resources. The total water resources in 20 12 years is 996.9 million cubic meters, including 91980,000 cubic meters of surface water resources.
The groundwater resource is 0.77 1 100 million cubic meters. The forest resources in Urumqi are relatively superior in Xinjiang, which is equivalent to three times the average forest coverage rate in Xinjiang, but it is far from the whole country. Forest resources can be divided into two categories: natural forests and artificial forests.
Natural forests mainly include mountain coniferous forests and virgin desert forests in Lin Heping Valley, and artificial forests mainly include all kinds of shelter forests, timber forests, economic forests and urban greening forests, mainly to transform nature and protect farmland and grassland.
