| Summary: | With the rapid economy development and social civilization progress, the
Chinese Government also is improving ecological environmental conditions.
More efforts have been made to solve water problems through the
implementation of stringent water resources management, as a key government
policy on water. Thus, monitoring of water resources has been strengthened,
being a main component of the hydrological work in recent years. Compared
with routine hydrological monitoring, water resources monitoring pays more
attention to the quantity and quality variations of regional waters, to
reflect the status of water in river basins and administrative regions. In
this paper, the overall layout of the hydrometric network in China is
presented, monitoring efforts of the natural water cycle and water
consumptions are analyzed, methodologies of water resources monitoring, which
are commonly applied in the country, are summed up. Taking the hydrometric
network planning on interprovincial boundary waterbodies as example, a
summary of the planning at interprovincial boundary river sections is
presented. The planning can meet the need of water resources management of
administrative divisions. It can also improve the overall water resources
monitoring for the country. |
