Water Allocation of Yellow River Basin in Shanxi

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
Traditionally the water resources development activities in China were related to improving irrigated agriculture. The quantity based administrative allocation is the most common water allocation mode in China today. This paper analysis the water allocation of Yellow River basin in Shanxi province via technical methods.

Agricultural water productivity assessment for the Yellow River Basin

Agricultural Water Management, 2011
Agricultural water productivity (WP) has been recognized as an important indicator of agricultural water management. This study assesses the WP for irrigated (WPI) and rainfed (WPR) crops in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) in China. WPI and WPR are calculated for major crops (corn, wheat, rice, and soybean) using experimental, statistical and empirically ...

Optimal allocation of water resources in large river basins: II. Application to Yellow River Basin

Water Resources Management, 1995
In this paper, the theoretical approach presented in Part I is demonstrated by means of case study on the optimal allocation water resources for Yellow River Basin of China. The object of the case study was to find the optimization of water allocation among subregions and trunk streams of the basin in order to achieve the maximum national economic ...

Cumulative sediment trapping by reservoirs in large river basins: A case study of the Yellow River basin

Global and Planetary Change, 2013
Abstract Reservoir sedimentation has been a serious problem for reservoir operation and watershed management worldwide, which highlights the importance of accurate estimate of the deposited sediment amount. With reservoir information derived from remote sensing dataset and observed hydrological records of water and sediment, this paper is concerned ...

Comparison of evapotranspiration variations between the Yellow River and Pearl River basin, China

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2010
Based on daily meteorological data at 43 gauging stations in the Pearl River basin and 65 gauging stations in the Yellow River basin, we analyze changing properties of actual evapotranspiration (ETa), reference evapotranspiration (ETref) and precipitation in these two river basins. In our study, Pearl River basin is taken as the ‘energy-limited’ system

Hydrological cycle changes in China’s large river basin: The Yellow River drained dry

2002
The Yellow River is one of the most important rivers in China. In the recent years, the hydrological cycle of the basin have changed greatly. Particularly, the main course of the lower reaches has been drying up which has caused a series of ecological, environmental and socioeconomical problems.

Anthropogenic coal mining reducing groundwater storage in the Yellow River Basin

Science of The Total Environment
Anthropogenic coal mining and water consumption affect groundwater storage (GWS) and impose substantial pressure on water resources. However, the responses and mechanisms of GWS to these activities and climate change are not well understood. In this study, the impacts of anthropogenic coal mining, water consumption, vegetation restoration and climate ...
