Features: This book possesses strong scientific, informative, methodological, and data-based characteristics, making it suitable for use and reference by professionals, researchers, educators, managers, and decision-makers in fields such as water resources, water conservancy, hydrology, geography, environment, economy, and natural resources. It is a specialized work on the theory and practice of rational allocation of water resources in river basins. The book begins with the ten key relationships that must be addressed to achieve sustainable regional water resource utilization, laying a rational foundation for the water scarcity issues and the rational development and utilization of water resources in the Huanghuaihai River Basin. Through an objective analysis of the severe water scarcity situation in the basin, it systematically proposes theories and methods for the rational allocation of river basin water resources. With constraints such as minimum ecological water demand and deficit irrigation, it quantitatively calculates the current water shortage in the Huanghuaihai River Basin. Based on this, it conducts first and second supply-demand balances based on current water supply capacity and local water resource carrying capacity. Using supply goals and supply scope as dual vector factors to determine water transfer volume and scale, it forms a set of water transfer schemes and proposes recommended solutions through comparative selection. Considering water discharge and quantity allocation, it performs a third supply-demand balance based on external water transfer, thereby comprehensively evaluating the effectiveness of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in alleviating water resource conflicts in the basin. To further describe the comprehensive functions of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, it also analyzes scenarios related to extreme drought years, agriculture, and ecological environment, and deeply explores engineering risks and investments. Subsequently, it proposes rationalized suggestions for adjusting corresponding production relationships.
