Runoff Characteristics and Hysteresis to Precipitation in Meijiang River Basin in Guangdong Province During 1960-2013
[Objective] Taking Meijiang river basin as a case study
this paper investigates the variations of precipitation and runoff in order to provide supports for river regulation
flood control and environmental protection.[Methods] Runoff and precipitation data during 1960-2013 was collected. Mathematical methods including accumulative anomaly
variation coefficient
concentration frequency and concentration period were used to investigate the variations of runoff and precipitation at decadal
annual and seasonal time scales. The hysteresis effect of runoff to precipitation was discussed.[Results] The inter-annual changes of runoff was declined at the rate of 5.79 mm/10 a. The runoff was mainly concentrated in the summer and spring time from April to September. The fluctuation of precipitation showed a slight decreasing trend in the basin. The precipitation mainly concentrated in May to June. Correlation between annual runoff and precipitation was significant(the significant level is more than 0.001
r=0.824>0.428=R0.001
54). There was a hysteresis effect of runoff to precipitation
the average hysteresis period was about 21 days
and this hysteresis period was expected to increase over time.[Conclusion] Human activity may be the main reason that alters the status of land cover or the change of climate.
