HOHHOT, May 25 (Xinhua) With a decade long ecological treatment, birds chirping, grass growing, water splashing, the wetlands around Hulun Lake in north China s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region saw improved biodiversity.
Human activities and soil erosion had been blamed to cause a drastic fall on the water table of the lake since 2000. The lake s water storage decreased to about 4.5 billion cubic meters in 2010 from its previous average of 12 billion cubic meters, with a shrinkage rate of 60 percent.
Hou Yuguang, in his 50s, recalled that all the grass was gone and birds were gone around his house on the lakeshore at that time.
