People in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are returning farmland to the populus euphratica forest, also known as Huyang forest, along the Tarim River. Due to a lack of water, they are constructing a flood-diversion channel that extends for 13 kilometers to provide irrigation and enhance the forest's soil quality.
