Construction of a quantitative model for ski resort water demand and preliminary exploration of drainage irrigation pathways [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn China, natural snowfall is insufficient, and ski resorts often require artificial snowmaking in winter and turf management in summer, which results in high overall water consumption and considered as one of the high water-consuming service industries,
