Comprehensive assessment of eco-environmental water requirement in arid inland river basins is a multilayer and multi-objective subject for decision-making.At the same time
it is one of key scientific problems to be solved in the reasonable allocation and management of water resources and eco-environmental protection and construction in arid regions.According to the real conditions and environmental problems confronted in the Tailan river basin
an indicator system composed of three hierarchies with 38factors was established to assess the eco-environmental water requirement.The indicators were quantified by classification
and the weights of all factors were calculated by the method of analytic hierarchy process(AHP).Criterion and specific methods were proposed to judge the status of eco-environmental water requirement in the basin. The assessment results indicate that for eco-environmental water requirement
the water resource factor was the dominant ones
the natural factors were the least ones;and the economic-social and eco-environmental factors were the intermediate ones.These four types of factors interrelated with each other
which in combination determine the eco-environmental water requirement.The assessment results agreed well with the reality
which suggests this method is of application value
