Abstract:

The agricultural water resources carrying capacity in the Beilin district of Suihua have been studied based on its water resources data from 1996 to 2012 with a method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. Results show that this capacity falls between levels II and III, suggesting that the existing exploitation of this district's agricultural water resources is in gradual transition toward the maximum development. The evaluation score for the period of 1996-2004 was dropping from 0.39 to 0.36, but the bearing capacity from 2004 to 2012 had a trend of slight rising, which indicates an effect of the relevant measures taken by the local government to ameliorate the bearing capacity after realizing the restriction of agricultural water scarcity on local economic development.
