Abstract:
      Based on long series of hydrological data of Jinghui Canal head on Jinghe River, the runoff, the water demand in dry season, and the unusable runoff in flood season were analyzed using moving average, regression, statistic and Tenant methods. The average annual usable runoffs and potentially usable runoffs of the Jinghe River were further discussed. The results showed that the annual runoff of Jinghe River decreased apparently from 1.72 billion m3 in the 60’s of last century to less than 1.00 billion m3 now and the observed minimum runoff departure was almost -29.6%. The average annual usable runoff was about 50% to 60% of the total runoff. Both of the average annual usable runoff and the potential usable runoff were increased with the improvement of sediment limitation for the irrigation and its canal system. According to the runoff situation and its trend of the Jinghe River, there are still 166 to 210 million m3 of runoff, which are potential available for the Jinghui Canal Irrigation Area.
