Northwest China is characterized by an arid climate and fragile ecosystems. The sustainability of irrigated agriculture and economic development in the region is threatened by severe eco-environmental problems as a consequence of both climate changes and human activities. This presentation discusses an integrated hydrological-ecological study being conducted in the Heihe River Basin in northwest China whose overall objective is to identify sustainable water resources management strategies through fundamental research based on comprehensive ecohydrological observations and integrated process modeling. The presentation will highlight the scientific issues, conceptual and numerical challenges in the integrated modeling of basin-scale hydrological-ecological processes under a changing climate and intensifying human activities.
