The Challenges of Water Resources Availability and Development in Huai River Basin, China
Journal Title: Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
The impact of climate change was examined on the processes for water uses in domestic, production and eco-water consumption, which is central to the allocation and conservation of water resources in the ecological system and socio-economy in arid Northeast of China. The population growth requires an adequate supply of water especially during glacier ice- melt, irregular rainfall, water pollution and reservoir dwindles. Our focus was on the relationships between natural factors and social factors, as well as the effect of different scales of water use for socio-economic expansion and ecosystem water demand. It incorporates the factors of water ecology-economy and water social economy into a large intricate system with respect to the interactive relationship between socio-economic and eco-environmental systems. Again, it empirically measures changing water resource susceptibility under several climate and human activities which develop coherent water resource allocation thresholds to deliver sustainable growth of ecosystems and the socio-economic system in China's northeast region. The paper recommends measurable adjustments to present regime of water utilization in regards to impending and inevitable changes in climatic and human actions around the Huai River Basin (HRB) tributaries. In effect, outcomes of the research will assist in mitigating imminent water scarcities and shortages for both economic and social development of the study area.
