Simulation of Dualistic Hydrological Processes Affected by Intensive Human Activities Based on Distributed Hydrological Model
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 144, Issue 12
Abstract
Affected by intensive human activities, basin hydrologic systems show characteristics of a dualistic structure. Thus, simulation of hydrological processes needs to consider the social water cycle system to obtain a more accurate result. This study uses a dualistic water cycle simulation system to simulate the hydrological processes affected by intensive human activities, which comprises the natural water cycle system and social water cycle system. The social water cycle system includes the agricultural water cycle system, industrial water cycle system, domestic water cycle system, and cross-regional allocation system. As part of the dualistic water cycle simulation system, an integrated dualistic hydrological model is developed which couples a distributed hydrological simulation module with a water resource allocation module. The integrated modeling approach is applied to the Haihe River basin. The results show that the model performance can be improved when considering coupled simulation of natural and social water cycle systems. This model can also be used to investigate the evolutionary relationships among the natural and social water cycle systems in the study region, and to assess the regional water resources in other basins affected by intensive human activities.
