Water shortages and related environmental degradation in North China are major issues facing the country. As runoff from the mountainous parts of the region steadily decrease and water resources become overcommitted, serious water and environmental problems have resulted. These include drying-up...

The Beijing storm of 21 July attracted public and social attention widely. Recently, some scientists expressed their opinion that urbanization has exacerbated the storm. However, our analysis suggests that while urbanization might have played some role, it is mainly the topographic effect that...

Limited precipitation restricts crop yield in the North China Plain, where high level of production depends largely on irrigation. Establishing the optimal irrigation scheduling according to the crop water requirement (CWR) and precipitation is the key factor to achieve rational water use....

<Para ID="Par1">An approach, with the basic idea of resampling wavelet neural parameters, was proposed for probabilistic forecasting of hydrologic time series by the wavelet neural model. Parameters in wavelet neural model are assumed as following uniform distribution, and both proper convergence criterion and...</para>
