      Abstract (969) HTML (0) PDF 660.07 K (1028) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Northwest Yunnan province is an area of high mountainous and deep valley. The region also contains protected areas of natural forests in the upper reaches of Yangtze river and provides an ecological barrier between middle and clown reaches of the Yangtze river. It is one of China's important ecological functional regions and is characterized by strong new tectonic movements, active geomorphological processes and a fragile ecology. The natural environment and human activity produce important effects on stability of slopes and soil-vegetation system, and the levels and types of soil erosion. The influence of natural factors, such as geology, landform, soil, vegetation, climate and hydrology,and the influence of human factors like population, land use and socio-economic conditions on regional water and soil erosion are studied through detailed field investigation. This research is of great importance to soil conservation,ccological construction and sustainable development.

      2003(5):22-25.

      Abstract (1175) HTML (0) PDF 431.06 K (1248) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:According to monitoring and analysis of ground-water and vegetation response at the lower reaches of Tarim river in the last 3 years, the water resource deficit situation changed after the project of transferring water. It was found that the average ground-water level rose from 8.25 m below ground surface before water transfer to 4.13 m below ground surface after water transfer. Correspondingly, the vegetation health improved in this region. However, due to differencevS in timing and quantity of water transfer to different parts of the lower reaches of the Tarim river,the ground-water level varies in the region. Judging by the criteria for ecologically sound ground-water levels, which indicate conditions to prevent salinization. desertification and damage to the growth of some xerophytic trees and bushes in this region. The problem, whether the ground-water level in different parts at the lower reaches of the Tarim river reasonable is analyzed. The results show that the ground-water level (between 2.97 and 4.8 m below ground surface after water transfer) from Yingsu to Alagan is comparatively reasonable. The ground-water level (between 0.1 and 2.47 m below ground surface after water transfer) from Daxihaizi reservoir to Yingsu is too high and may cause salinization. Conversely, the ground-water level at the downstream part from Alagan to Taitema lake is too low to prevent land from desertification and to improve vegetation restoration. Therefore going on translating water to raise the ground-water level is necessary.

      Abstract (755) HTML (0) PDF 506.32 K (1080) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Early warning for agricultural water security can be divided into water quantity and water quality early warning. Based on agricultural water supply and water requirement analyses, and trends in water supply and water requirement, agricultural water security in the northeast region of China is forecasted. According to the ratio of agricultural water supply and requirement, trends in agricultural water are ranked in different classes. In the current water supply and Wetter-consuming mode, the northeast region water resource is scarce. The water resource situation is better in the current water supply and water-saving mode or potential water supply and water-consuming mode compared with the current water supply and water consuming mode; however water supply is inadequate for development. Before 2030,agricultural water could be secured by the potential water supply and water-saving mode,but currently up to 2030 in the no warning situation, there is a 1.57*1010m3 water shortage. To address the problem of the agricultural water, suggestions are presented to ensure agricultural water security.
