Ecological Effect Assessment of Danjiangkou Water Source Area Under the Influence of Water Diversion Project Ecological effect assessment of Danjiangkou Water Source Area under the influence of Water Diversion Project Hai Liu 1, Heng Di1, Yuefei Huang1 ,Hongmeng Yuan1, Yifan Zhang1, and Liang Zheng 2,* 1 Hubei University, Faculty of resources and environment Science, Wuhan Hubei, 430062, China; 2 State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China. * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) Project is the largest inter basin water transfer project in the world. Danjiangkou Reservoir is water source of Middle Route Project of SNWD Project. It is of great value to evaluate the changes of ecological environment in the basin under the SNWD Project, which is of great value for guiding the ecological construction and development of the basin and scientific water transfer, and also provides a reference for the scientific identification of the basin ecological environment response mechanism under the influence of large-scale water conservancy projects; By estimating the reservoir capacity, land use change and ecosystem service value before and after water diversion, we analyzed the impact of SNWD project on Danjiangkou Water Source Area and ecological benefits. The results show that: The SNWD Project has a significant impact on the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in Danjiangkou reservoir. The water area and storage capacity of the reservoir after the SNWD project are significantly increased compared with those before the implementation of the project. The change trend of land use types before and after the water diversion project is that construction land encroaches on cultivated land and forest land. After the implementation of SNWD project, the regional vegetation coverage is significantly reduced, especially in the downstream. The SNWD project has a great impact on the ecological environment of the basin. Keywords: Ecological environment change; Driving factor; Water Diversion Project; Danjiangkou reservoir.

Additionally, Hubei Province is well-known for its diverse landforms, including mountains, hills, mounds and plains. This area is called “The Province of Thousand Lakes” due to the abundance of water resources. Geographical names are exclusive names given to physical or anthropogenic geographic entities at specific spatial locations and are important signs by which humans understand natural and human activities. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) technology is adopted to establish a geodatabase of geographical names with particular characteristics in Hubei Province and extract certain geomorphologic and environmental factors.

In fact, spatial planning system of China is Abstract—“National Territorial Planning (2016-2030)” was not perfect. It is a crucial problem that land resources have been issued by the State Council of China in 2017.

  • Adaptive Optimal Allocation of Water Resources Response to Future Water
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Adaptive optimal allocation of water resources response to future water availability and water demand in the Han River basin, China Jing Tian1, Shenglian Guo1*, Lele Deng1, Jiabo Yin1, Zhengke Pan2, Shaokun He1 & Qianxun Li1 Global warming and anthropogenic changes can result in the heterogeneity of water availability in the spatiotemporal scale, which will further afect the allocation of water resources. A lot of researches have been devoted to examining the responses of water availability to global warming while neglected future anthropogenic changes. What’s more, only a few studies have investigated the response of optimal allocation of water resources to the projected climate and anthropogenic changes. In this study, a cascade model chain is developed to evaluate the impacts of projected climate change and human activities on optimal allocation of water resources. Firstly, a large set of global climate models (GCMs) associated with the Daily Bias Correction (DBC) method are employed to project future climate scenarios, while the Cellular Automaton–Markov (CA–Markov) model is used to project future Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) scenarios. Then the runof simulation is based on the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrological model with necessary inputs under the future conditions. Finally, the optimal water resources allocation model is established based on the evaluation of water supply and water demand. The Han River basin in China was selected as a case study. The results show that: (1) the annual runof indicates an increasing trend in the future in contrast with the base period, while the ascending rate of the basin under RCP 4.5 is 4.47%; (2) a nonlinear relationship has been identifed between the optimal allocation of water resources and water availability, while a linear association exists between the former and water demand; (3) increased water supply are needed in the water donor area, the middle and lower reaches should be supplemented with 4.495 billion m3 water in 2030.

They can pose a risk of inundation to a human habitat but can also be utilized as a resource with hydraulic engineering. Improving the knowledge of flood characteristics is the basis and premise of improving water resources management and ecological environmental protection. Presently, the quantitative evaluation of flood characteristics needs to gradually evolve from a single indicator to a systematic one. In this paper, by introducing the concepts of ecohydrology on magnitude, frequency, and duration, a set of flood characteristics indicators evaluation system is constructed based on the hydrological characteristics for the section where Danjiangkou Reservoir is located at the middle reach of the Yangtze in China. The results showed that the Danjiangkou Reservoir has changed the flood characteristics to a great extent both of seasonal or annual floods, and the mean degree of the flood characteristic alteration indicators is about 19%. The changing trend of the flood indicators upstream showed an increasing trend from the 1970s to 2010s, while downstream were divided into two periods by the year of about 1975.
