There are 46 inland lakes in the northwest of the county. Among them, Shenhu Lake (Hongjiannao) has a total area of ??54 square kilometers and a water storage of 800 million cubic meters. It is the largest inland lake in Shaanxi Province and the largest desert freshwater lake in China. [Edit this paragraph] Mineral Resources Shenmu County has a vast territory and is rich in mineral resources, mainly including coal, quartz sand, natural gas, petroleum, iron ore and limestone, among which coal reserves are the largest.
Coal is mainly distributed in the west and north of the county. The coal storage area reaches 4,500 square kilometers, accounting for 59% of the total area of ??the county. The proven reserves are more than 50 billion tons. The coal is of high quality and shallowly buried. , easy to mine, is one of the few high-quality, environmentally friendly coals for power and gasification in the world, and has strong competitiveness in the international energy market. The underground coal storage capacity in coal-rich areas is as high as more than 10 million tons per square kilometer. There are 8 layers of recoverable and partially recoverable coal seams within the exploration scope of Shenmu Coalfield, with the maximum thickness of a single layer being 12.02 meters. The coal seams are approximately horizontal, with few faults, stable roof and floor plates, minimal gas content, and shallow burial. The coverage in many areas is only 4 to 5 meters. In some areas, large areas of the ground are exposed, making it easy for open-pit mining. The Shenmu County coalfield covers 11 towns including Daliuta, Sunjiacha, Dianta, Majiata, Zhongji, Erlintu, Jinjie, Dabaodang, Shenmu, Xiejiabao and Gaojiabao. The Shenfu Dongsheng Coalfield was formed in the Jurassic Period 140 million years ago. The coalfield covers an area of ??31,172 square kilometers and has proven reserves of 230 billion tons, accounting for more than 30% of the country's proven reserves, equivalent to 70 Datong mining areas. , 160 Fushun mining areas, Shenfu Dongsheng Coalfield can be regarded as one of the largest coalfields in the world.
Rock salt Shenmu rock salt is on the edge of Yulin Salt Field and is part of Yulin Salt Field. The Yulin Salt Field is an Ordovician rock salt field that dates back 530 million years and is buried 2,500 meters underground. It has proven reserves of 885.5 billion tons and predicted reserves of 6 trillion tons, accounting for 26% of the country's reserves. The potential value of rock salt reaches 33.2 trillion yuan, which is 2.2 times that of Qalhan Salt Lake in Qinghai.
Quartz sand is mainly distributed in the Majiata and Shenmu Town areas, with proven industrial reserves of 4.36 million tons and a silica content of over 97%. The hydrogeological conditions are simple, suitable for mining, and can be manufactured. Glass, ceramics and refractory materials are the county's important mineral resources after coal.
The natural gas Shenmu gas field is located in the middle of the Ordos Basin. The gas-bearing areas are mainly distributed in Erlintu, Dabaodang and Jinjie areas. The gas field is adjacent to the Sulige gas field in Wushen Banner, Inner Mongolia (the largest gas field in China) to the north. ), adjacent to the Yulin gas-bearing area in the west, with considerable reserves.
Oil is mainly distributed in Erlintu and Dabaodang areas, which is basically consistent with the distribution of natural gas-bearing areas.
There are 66 iron ore deposits in the county, most of which are buried in nests. In Liushipan Village, Sunjiacha Town, one is buried in layers, up to 1 meter thick. There are mainly three types of phosphorite, limonite and hematite, with an average iron content of 30% and a maximum of 60%, providing reliable resource conditions for the county's pig iron smelting industry.
Limestone is mainly distributed in Balanbu, Majiata and other places. It has large reserves and can be used to manufacture calcium carbide, alkali, bleaching powder, cement, lime, stone, etc. [Edit this paragraph] Economic Development Shenmu County With the large-scale development of Shenfu coalfield, Shenmu has gradually become a hot spot for investment in the western region. In the 15 years from the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" to the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", various investments in Shenmu reached more than 30 billion yuan, and the economic development rate exceeded 25% annually. In 2005, the county's GDP was 8 billion yuan, and the fiscal revenue was 1.98 billion yuan. billion, including 670 million yuan in local fiscal revenue, ranking among the top 100 counties in the west.

In the evaluation of the top 100 competitive counties in the western region announced in 2009, Shenmu ranked 5th among the top 100 counties in the western region and 59th among the top 100 counties in the country.
Industrial Economy
Since the reform and opening up, Shenmu's industrialization and urbanization process has accelerated significantly, and the economic focus has achieved a historic transformation from agriculture to industry, and from rural areas to cities. A new industrial system focusing on coal, electric power, chemicals, energy carriers, and building materials has been established. The industrial added value accounts for 87% of the GDP. The total number of enterprises has grown to more than 1,700, and coal output has exceeded 100 million tons.
In the industrial economy, the principles of concentration, agglomeration, and intensification will be implemented, focusing on the development of six major industries in six parks and eight districts. Constructed and formed coal----blue charcoal----carbide---polyvinyl chloride, coal---coal tar---refined oil, coal---coal gas---electricity (metallic magnesium, reduced iron ) three industrial chains, not only squeezed out all the coal, but also lengthened the industrial chain and increased the added value of products, becoming a revolution in the history of the development of the coal industry. It has now become the largest coal-producing county in the country.
The development strategy of one body and two wings has been implemented, that is, with the county as the main body, the urban system of Dabaodang, Jinjie, county, Dianta and Daliuta will be built along the Yushen and Shenda highways. Within this framework, we focus on developing the five major industries of coal, electricity, chemicals, building materials, and energy storage, forming an energy and chemical industry belt along the Yushen Highway; and four major industrial parks: Daliuta, Dianta, Jinjie, and Dabaodang. At present, the county has implemented a total of 91 industrial projects worth more than 100 million yuan and 13 industrial projects worth more than 1 billion yuan, with a total investment of 58.8 billion yuan. In 2007, Shenmu County's total industrial output value was 28.322 billion yuan, which was more than 3,000 times that of 1978.
Promote the strategy of strengthening the county through industry and build new Dabaodang and Shiyaodian industrial parks. We will strengthen cooperation with well-known domestic and foreign enterprises to build Hongliulin, Caragana Tower, Zhangjiamao, Shiyaodian, etc. High-yield and efficient modern mines, the construction of the second phase of coal-electricity integration, the second phase of coal-to-methanol and other projects, and strive to form a 100-million-ton coal, 10-million-ton coal chemical industry, 10 million-weight box glass and 500-ton coal chemical industry by the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" Tens of thousands of kilowatts of electricity production base.
Agricultural Economy
Shenmu is located in the transition zone from the Loess Plateau to grassland desert. For thousands of years, Shenmu's agriculture has been a self-sufficient traditional small-scale peasant economy, with relatively slow development.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the industrial economy, Shenmu has insisted on putting agriculture at the top of its economic work, continuously increasing agricultural investment, adjusting the agricultural economic structure, vigorously returning farmland to forest, closing mountains to grazing, raising livestock, and promoting agricultural development. With the transformation of a large county into a large county for animal husbandry and fruit industry, the county's agriculture has embarked on a path of mutual promotion with ecological environment construction, and important progress has been made in agricultural industrialization management.
In recent years, the forestry and jujube industries have implemented projects to return farmland to forests, protect natural forests, prevent wind and desertification, and manage key watersheds. Mountain closures and grazing bans have been strictly implemented, and forestry has developed rapidly. 120 million yuan was invested in afforestation and greening, and 1.16 million acres of artificial afforestation were completed, of which 647,000 acres were converted into forests, forming four green forest belts (the red date forest belt along the Yellow River, the large apricot forest belt in the central part, the evergreen forest belt along the ancient Great Wall, and the Shaanxi-Mongolia border Protective forest belt), six green channels (Yushen Highway, Shenpan Highway, Jinda Highway, Shenma Highway, Wuchen Highway, Shenwan Highway) and greening projects on the east and west mountains of the county (each 2.5 kilometers wide and 10 kilometers long). We have concentrated investment in the construction of high-quality projects, and built ecological construction demonstration projects such as the racecourse, 10,000 acres of evergreen forest, Crouching Great Wall Forest, and Gaoren Li Mao Ecological Demonstration Zone, forming a backbone system for ecological construction. The county's forest coverage rate reached 32.8, and the forest and grass coverage rate reached 46.3. By 2013, the county's forest coverage rate will reach about 40%, and the forest and grass coverage rate will reach about 60%.
The area along the Yellow River in our county is one of several suitable areas for red dates in the country. The cultivation of red dates has a long history. Since the 1990s, through relaxing policies and activating mechanisms, the scale of red dates in the county has expanded rapidly. It has become a regional leading industry along the Yellow River. At present, the red date economic forest has reached 180,000 acres. The varieties of red dates are of excellent quality and have strong market competitiveness. The income of date farmers has increased significantly. The operating income of date farmers in Yanhuang Township has accounted for more than 60% of the total income. The red date deep processing project invested by Fumaoyuan Company with an investment of 5 million yuan has been completed and put into operation. It can process 1,000 tons of various fresh dates every year and produce 600 tons of dried dates, amethyst dates, multi-flavored dates, and chrysanthemum dates series products annually.
Animal husbandry Our county is located in the transition zone from warm temperate grassland to mid-temperate grassland. It is a suitable area for high-quality pasture and an ideal zone for the development of herbivorous animal husbandry. At present, the county has more than 3 million acres of natural grassland and 1.6 million acres of artificial grass. It has introduced a number of excellent grass species such as silage corn, high red grass, alfalfa, and hunter. The output of forage has increased significantly, and livestock production has increased significantly. The development of the industry has accelerated and it has become the leading agricultural industry in the county. In 2004, there were 45,000 large livestock in the county, of which 7,900 were slaughtered that year; 625,000 sheep, of which 332,000 were slaughtered that year; 77,000 pigs, of which 88,000 were slaughtered that year; 620,000 poultry, of which 54 were slaughtered that year. 10,000, the total annual output of meat is 16,000 tons, aquatic products are 200 tons, dairy products are 12,500 tons, cashmere is 110,000 kilograms, and wool is 1,300 tons. It has successively introduced excellent sheep breeds such as Boer, Suffolk, Tauset, and white cashmere goats, as well as excellent beef and dairy breeds such as Limousin, Simmental, Red Angus, Friesian, and Shorthorn, and promoted the development of cattle production. The process of improving sheep breeding. In 2004, 44 dairy, beef cattle and mutton farms had been built, three meat processing projects, and four agricultural and livestock product processing projects were under construction (enzyme and microbial comprehensive processing, plush-free casing processing, beef and mutton slaughtering and processing, Minle feed processing), and formed industrialized business models such as "Company Association Farmers". The county's animal husbandry output value accounts for more than 46% of the total agricultural output value.
