The paper analyzes the causes of desertification of Minqin Oasis, Hexi Corridor, Gansu, China on an ecological point of view and found that the poor water management has led to water mineralization, vegetation degeneration, soil desertification, and ecosystem deterioration. In Minqin Oasis, the type of predatory management used traditionally was: reclamation, irrigation, cultivation, salinization, abandonment, and desertification. The strategies to save Minqin Oasis are a) to increase the public awareness of ecology and water resources; b) to develop water-saving agriculture; c) to adjust plant structure; d) to control the exploitation of groundwater; and e) to reduce the waste of water resources and establish a high efficiency structure of the oasis ecosystem.
