On-site view of 8 September 2016, water erosion caused by wind power project in Haiyuan County, Ningxia Province. (a) Water erosion destroyed the provisional road. The road was built to ensure that vehicles, personnel, and materials could be timely transported to the construction site during the construction of the wind power project. (b) Water erosion destroyed the drainage ditches. Because no protection measures had been implemented for the slope which was cut very steeply, resulting in serious water erosion and destroying the drainage ditches beneath the slope. (c) Soil collapse threatened the safety of transmission towers. (d) Water erosion occurred around the wind-driven generator and transformer room. If water erosion was not controlled, the safety of the wind-driven generator would be threatened.
