Integrated water resource management in Yinchuan plain

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the current state of water resources and utilization characters, the optimizing and allocating model of water resources in Yinchuan plain is established by multi-objective planning methodology. Systematic viewpoint runs throughout the whole modeling process. Furthermore, by employing the established model, the proper allocation of the industrial and agricultural water, the ecological environment water and integrated development of surface water and groundwater are discussed. The more reasonable water utilization structure is suggested. The water resource for agriculture is decreasing, while the water resource for people life, industry and ecologic environment are increasing. This change of water utilization is correspond to economic and social development trend. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
