Features: This book conducts an empirical analysis on the severe degradation of the ecological environment and economic poverty in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia old revolutionary areas of China, exploring the key issue of strategic choices for "win-win" between ecological environment construction and economic development in the Western Development Strategy. The author proposes policy recommendations such as the "ecological purchase" interest-driven mechanism and the "private forest-grassland ecological" economic system, advocating for the natural restoration of the ecological environment to achieve "triple wins" in vegetation, surface water, and groundwater rather than relying solely on engineering measures. The author has achieved creative results in the research on theoretical and methodological aspects of ecological water scarcity and ecological management models in arid regions.
