A Study on the Changes and Development of Water Resources in Urumqi

Abstract:

Using Excel software, this paper analyzes the changes of water resources in recent 10 years in the area of Urumqi, and it discovers that water resources per capital in Urumqi is declining; the annual precipitation is ascending in its totality though there is fluctuation; the amount of water usage is rising evidently and there is an increase tendency in the apects of lacking water resources and imbalance between supply and demand. The main reasons that cause the above situation are the serious waste and low utilization of water resources; extensive use and over-development of water resources in some parts of Urumqi; unreasonable industrial distribution and lack of the comprehensive and unitied diministration of water resources. Faced with these problems, the paper tries to put some suggestions from the point view of regional sustainable development. Keywords: water resources; changes; development; Urumqi
