“…The attribution analysis results indicated that human activities were the main cause of runoff variation in the UYRB, which was consistent with previous studies (Hou et al, 2019; Jiang et al, 2014; Mo et al, 2018; Xia et al, 2014; Xu et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2020). Nevertheless, uncertainties still arose from multiple aspects.…”

“…The decreasing trend of precipitation and the increasing trend of temperature in the UYRB have also been confirmed by other studies (Bao, Zhang, Wang, et al, 2012; Hou et al, 2019; Li et al, 2018). Some studies suggested that the decrease in the summer land‐ocean temperature gradient was the dominant force for the weakening of the summer monsoon and led to the long‐term decrease in summer precipitation.…”

“…Although the connection between precipitation and runoff is complicated in semiarid regions, where a slight reduction in precipitation might trigger a tremendous response in runoff , the declines of runoff and R/P was so drastic in UYRB that they were not only affected by climate variation in UYRB. Since F I G U R E 1 2 Variation of R/P in the upper Yongding River basin and its sub-basins 1983, with the Haihe River Basin designated as one of the eight key soil and water loss areas, a series of ecological measures (three North Shelterbelt, grass plantation) have been implemented in the UYRB (Hou et al, 2019). On the other hand, the management rights of land have been transferred to farmers since 1979, which has also stimulated intensive farming activities and greatly increased irrigation demands (Wang et al, 2019;Xia et al, 2014).…”

Climate change and anthropogenic factors have significantly impacted hydrological regimes, especially in semiarid regions. Using the trend-free pre-whitening Mann-Kendall (TFPW-MK) test and linear regression, trends of precipitation, temperature, runoff, and water balances from different spatiotemporal scales were analysed during the past sixty years in the Upper Yongding River Basin (UYRB). Based on the Choudhury-Yang equation, the contributions of climate change and human activities to runoff variation were further quantified in five mountainous catchments, and the actual effects of climate change and human activities on the water balance in the whole UYRB were also discussed. The results suggest that the UYRB has become much warmer and drier. The lower annual precipitation and intensity in summer were directly attributed to runoff reductions. Intra-annual scale analyses of meteorological, hydrological and biological responses helped the comprehensive interpretation of the runoff trends. Human activities, including agricultural irrigation, were the main causes for runoff reduction, especially in the middle and lower reaches, and the contribution of human activities increased gradually in recent decades. The water balance changed drastically temporally, with the precipitation being converted less to runoff and more to evaporated fractions, which was also due to the second order effects of climate change and vegetation improvement. It is suggested that low water-consumption plant species and the related water-saving techniques in agriculture and afforestation should be introduced for the sustainable development in the similar regions.

“…In this study, we adopted the moving average method and the Mann-Kendall (M-K) rank correlation test. We conducted a trend analysis on the time series of the runoff, the M-K mutation test to analyze the change in the time series of the runoff and the Morlet continuous complex wavelet transform to analyze the period of the multi-timescale characteristics of the runoff time series [20,21].…”

River water is necessary for production, livelihood and ecological balance [1]. Changes in river runoff directly affect the development and utilization of water resources [2] and thereby societal and economic development [3]. Studying the evolution of runoff and its influencing factors can provide a scientific basis for the management, protection and sustainable use of water resources [4, 5]. The change in river runoff is an important manifestation of climatic influence, especially precipitation and human activities in basins [6]. Thus, river runoff is an active area in global change research [7,8]. The fifth assessment report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that in the 21 st century, global climate change will increase surface runoff in high-latitude regions and humid tropical regions and decrease surface runoff in most arid subtropical regions and Mediterranean regions [7]. However, the causes of runoff changes are complex. Although climate change [8, 9] (e.g., precipitation) is the main influence in river runoff changes, the potential increase in evapotranspiration is also considered to be

“…However, only a few studies have been done on the groundwater recharge and circulation processes in the Zhangjiakou aquifer system where is mainly in the upper reaches of the Yongding River, which provide a broad understanding of the mechanism of local recharge sources and zones (Chen et al, 2017;Feng et al, 2013;Hou et al, 2019). Even the previous studies of Wang et al (2015) and Li et al (2017) in the upper Yongding river basin did not reach a concensus how fast the groundwater is replenished in this area, Thus, in order to understand the recharge mechanism and spatial characteristics of the aquifer as well as the relationship between surface water and groundwater in the study area, we focused on a region-wide survey for groundwater recharging characteristics in Zhangjiakou, including Zhangbei, Yanghe and Sanggan river basins, based on an integrated tracing approach.…”

Despite the increasing depletion of the groundwater at the Zhangjiakou aquifer system in the northwest of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, little information is available on the hydrological process of groundwater in this region. In this study, we utilized water isotopes composition (δ 18 O, δD and 3 H) of groundwater, river and precipitation to identify the characteristics of hydrochemistry, groundwater age and recharge rates in different watersheds of the Zhangjiakou area. Results showed that the river water and groundwater could be characterized as HCO 3
