- Abstract:
-
Xinshuihe River catchment was taken as a case. Evolution phases of runoff were detected by using cluster analysis method. We then analyzed the responses of runoff variation to changes in climatic elements at different phases, and preliminarily revealed driving forces of runoff variation in the Xinshuihe River catchment. Results indicate that the recorded runoff at Daning station of the Xinshuihe River catchment presented a general decreasing trend over the period from 1955 to 2008, with significant changing year occurring in 1965 and 1979. Relationships between runoff and precipitation at annual scale and monthly scale for different phases are different. Relatively, monthly runoff highly correlates to precipitation in flood season from June to October rather than that in dry season from November to May, but monthly runoff positively correlates to temperature when monthly mean temperature ranges from -5℃ to +5℃. Runoff in flood season is dominated by high intensity rainfall while snow-melting flow and base flow are main components of runoff in dry season. Moreover, human activities including soil and water conservation measure and hydraulic engineering construction, play principle driving roles in runoff decline, especially for the period of the 21st century.
