"Soil Dams" to be built in the Loess Plateau www.chinaview.cn 2005-01-04 15:16:35 BEIJING, Jan. 4 -- China plans to invest 9.7 billion USD in building tens of thousands of "soil dams" for the Loess Plateau, world's worst areas for soil erosion, to protect fragile ecology. "Soil dams" are put in ditches along the plateau so when it rains, the soil can kept in place. Also the acres of farmland which were created in the 1970s will be replanted with trees, to replenish the soil. The huge project will better protect fragile ecology of this Northern region and improve the living standards of nearly 70 million farming population who live there. China's Loess Plateau is one of the world's worst areas for soil erosion. (Source: CRIENGLISH.com) news.xinhuanet.com
