Features: The book consists of 4 parts and 12 chapters. Part 1 focuses on the water cycle, soil erosion, and sediment transport in desert-type conditions under typical conditions; Part 2 discusses basin water cycle models and water resources assessment; Part 3 covers water quality simulation models; and Part 4 presents water resources utilization models. The book well reflects the preliminary achievements of the collaborative research project between Chinese and Japanese scholars. It develops and introduces numerous models related to the Yellow River water resources issue, which are applied to different regions of the Yellow River Basin. These models include the forest water and energy balance model, water balance model for arid and semi-arid farmland, irrigation area water balance model, soil erosion and sediment transport model, distributed hydrological model for the Yellow River Basin, distributed hydrological model BTOPMC, farmland water-salt coupled transport model, urban pollutant load model, integrated water quality and quantity model, system dynamics model, and Yellow River water resources demand prediction model, among others. The book can serve as a reference for researchers and university teachers in the fields of hydrology and water resources, as well as environmental science, and for technical personnel engaged in water conservancy engineering or environmental engineering planning and management.
