Quantitative Evaluation of Water Resources Pressure in Heihe River Basin
The indicators system of water resources pressure were was developed according to water resources quantity pressure
water resources economic pressure and water environmental pressure. Then
this indicator system was used for calculating water resources pressure index in Heihe River from 2000 to 2010. Results showed that the water resource pressure index in Heihe River was high
but overall
it showed a decreasing tendency. The index of water pressure had fallen from 0.58 in 2000 to 0.28 in 2010. This was attributed to the integrated river basin management including the water-saving society construction. However
It is still necessary to reduce water use in agriculture and increase ecological water use
to reduce the pressure and promote sustainable utilization of Heihe River basin water resources.
