Abstract:

Objective: The InVEST model and scenario analysis were used to study the spatial-temporal dynamics of water yield in Danjiangkou reservoir area, in order to provide a scientific basis for the improvement and control of water conservation capacity in the reservoir area. Method: The InVEST model was used to quantitatively study the changes of temporal of water yield in 2003, 2013, and 2018. The changes of water yield depth under different land use/cover types were analyzed and compared. The effects of annual precipitation and land use/cover type changes on water yield were investigated by scenario simulation method. Result: The annual water yield of Danjiangkou from 2003 to 2018 showed a trend of a weakening followed by a strengthening, including the annual water yield depth of 310.09 mm and water yield of 1.36 billion m3 in 2003, the annual water yield depth of 146.67 mm and water yield of 525 million m3 in 2013, and the annual water yield depth of 166.06 mm and water yield of 728 million m3 in 2018, which decreased by 46.47% in 15 years. On the whole, the water yield per unit area is not evenly distributed in space. The northern hilly and mountainous areas are 39.84%-57.79% higher than the southern ones. The water yield depth of each land use/cover type showed a trend of a decrease followed by a slow increase. The highest water yield depth was urbanized land (530.35 mm), followed by cropland (292.85 mm), orangery (284.07 mm) and woodland (273.76 mm). Scenario simulation shows that annual precipitation and land use/cover type are the main factors affecting water yield. The contribution rate of precipitation in 2013 was 92.43%, and the change of land use/cover type contributes 64.71% to 2018. Conclusion: The InVEST model can be used to monitor the spatial-temporal dynamic changes of water yield in the reservoir area, and pay close attention to the influence of precipitation and land use/cover type changes on water yield, therefore providing a scientific basis for the improvement of water conservation capacity in the reservoir area.
