- The precaution line of 1999 has extended the trend to the northern part of the Keriya oasis, that is, the natural oasis has extended the desert in some degree，especially in the northern part of Karki village. The 1999 precaution line has a trend of local expansion in the southern part of Langan village, and this is in relation to irrigation and opening up wasteland. The 1999 precaution line is also expanding in Oytograk village in the eastern part of Keriya County and along the Keriya River, owing to the increase of the Keriya River’s flux.

Thus Figs. 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 show cultivated areas increased since 1977 in Oytograk (circle1), in the south of the Keriya oasis (circles 2 and 3), and in Laysu (circle 9), and the extension of cultivated lands and the irrigation system contributed to a transformation of some desert areas into oasis.
