Spatiotemporal Evaluation of Blue and Green Water in Xinjiang River Basin Based on SWAT Model
Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. As an important tributary of Poyang Lake, Xinjiang River has an important influence on the water ecology and water resources of the Poyang Lake basin. Based on the hydrological simulation of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model, the spatiotemporal distribution and evaluation of the blue and green water during the period (1982–2016) in the basin were explored by the Mann–Kendall test, precipitation anomaly percentage, and scenario simulation. It is found that the SWAT model presents a satisfactory performance in runoff simulation of the basin. The multi-year average blue water in the Xinjiang River basin is 1138 mm, and the green water is 829 mm, with a green water coefficient of 0.42. The amount of blue water in wet years is about 1.5 times that in normal years and 2.4 times that in dry years. Compared with the green water, the blue water of the basin is more sensitive to the variations in precipitation. In spatial distribution, the blue and green water in the middle of the basin is obviously more than those in other parts of the basin. During the study period, the blue water in the basin shows a slight decreasing trend, and the green water shows a significant decreasing trend. It is also found that climatic factors have a greater influence on the trend of blue and green water than land use, and the decrease in precipitation is the dominant cause for the trend of blue and green water.
