Discussion on Optimal deployment of water resources and adaptive management models in the Yellow River Delta
The downstream discharge of the Yellow River is not only the key water resources supplied for the development of Dongying City, but also important for maintenance the ecology availability of the river delta and estuary. Water diversion from the Yellow River is restricted by making policy for integration of water management in the whole catchments. For example, it is not allowed to divert water while the discharge is smaller than 50m3/s in Lijin Hydrological Station, the last one in the downstream of Yellow River. If it is considered to meet the water demands of wetland and sediment transportation, more than 5 billion m3 and 15 billion m3 of discharge should be maintained per year in Lijin Station. Due to the restriction and water shortage in Dongying City, Strategy of optimal deployment of water resources should be firstly made to achieve the different demands of water uses in Dongying City. But it is not enough with the rapid economical development. New conception should be conduced for water resources management in the Yellow River Delta. Adaptive management is a systematic and effective approach for improving water resources management though the steps of modeling, monitoring, decision making and assessment in the Yellow River delta. Different plans or scenarios should also be made by learning from the outcomes of operational programs in the future.
