  • Badain Jaran desert is well-known for its distribution of many megadunes and lakes. However, opinions about the formation of these megadunes and lakes vary from person to person until recently. Actually, their formation is directly related to the circulation and alternation of the groundwater in this area. According to the previous research, combining with the current hydro-geological investigation in the study area, this article discusses the formation mechanisms of megadunes and lakes in Badain Jaran desert. It is found that lakes in the desert formed mainly as a result of the lateral recharge of groundwater both from Yabulai Mountain and megadunes. The formation of megadunes is closely related with the rainfall and groundwater in the area. The formation and coexistent relationship between megadunes and lakes are as follows: the megadunes formed firstly, and then the lakes appeared. That means megadunes are a necessary condition for the formation of lakes there.
