Research on Management Scheme for Total Amount Control of Groundwater Exploitation in Heping Irrigation District

Through analyzing the current water resources environment and current situation of groundwater utilization, the allowable water yield in the study area is calculated to be 11.0×104m3/d by using the water balance method. Then, using the amount as constraint condition, the critical groundwater levels are decided. Furthermore, a management scheme of total amount control of groundwater exploitation is given, which includes 3 aspects: (a) Building the monitoring well system; (b) Establishing the association for water users and water utilization groups; (c) Setting up a whole rewards and punishments regulation. This study is expected to provide scientific references and methods for relevant research.
