| Abstract | Based on the remote sensing images and GIS, this study focuses on understanding the spatial changes of Minqin Oasis over the last 2000 years, combining with the historical documents and maps, archaeological investigation, and field work. Having the interpreting keys and DEM been setup, the RS image was used to identify the distributing range and the archaeological survey data was used to determine the time of ancient oasis. The result shows that: Since this region was conquered by Han Dynasty in BC 210, the natural oasis was quickly changed into farmland. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties (AD 220-420), the reclaimed area reached to the first climax. Farmland deceased during the next 800 years from the South-North Dynasty (AD 420-581) to the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1271-1368) when nomadic people invaded. The second intensified development began in Ming Dynasty (AD 1368-1644) when the central government encouraged farmers in east China migrating to this oasis. This was followed by another more intensive development period in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1644-1911) and the irrigated area reached the largest of the whole the history which established the frame of modern Minqin Oasis. The irrigated oases developed in different dynasties located in different locations, with the trend to increase in scale. An intensive development period was always followed by a strong desertification thereafter. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
