Impact of climate change and land-use on water resources development

The causal research design method is most effective in establishing the cause-and-effect associations especially when carrying out findings concerning specific variations on water resources availability and development in relation to several other River Basin operating factors such as human activities, climatic conditions and Land-use. The paper takes advantage of specific scenarios to reveal the trends of relationships between factors measured. It is feasible to analyze the effect and cause for wide range of processes in relation to trends. There are higher levels of internal validity associated with research design method because of systematic subject selection. Present study examines the effects of climate change factors on the processes and relative needs for water uses in domestic, production and eco-water consumption is central to the allocation and conservation of water resources in systems of ecology and economy in arid Northeast of China. The population growth requires adequate supply of water especially during shortages arising melt-water from ice and glacier, abnormal rainfall, and flood disasters.This paper presents the overview of water resources problem of the basin.
