Hydrological indicators of desertification in the Heihe River Basin of arid Northwest China

Article Abstract:

The Heihe River Basin is a typical bigger inland river basin in the arid zone of Northwestern China but the changes in hydrological status and the degradation of vegetation have promoted land desertification and soil salinization in the entire middle and lower reaches of Heihe River Basin. The hydrological indicators of desertification in the Heihe River Basin are determined in both surface and ground water.
