5 1. Study Area: Location of River Xiangxi Mt. Shennongjia(3105m) Xingshan county Shennongjia county River Xiangxi originated from Mt. Shengnongjia, 94km long, catchment area 3099km 2, located in Northern subtropic, Southeast China Zigui county Source: Cai, CIMCGWM, 2007

6 1. Study Area: River Xiangxi Annual precipitation observed from 1961 to 2004 is 1100mm and ranges from 670mm to 1700mm with considerable spatial and temporal variations. The distribution is characterized by a dry winter and a summer monsoon from May to September. Annual average temperature from 1961 to 2004 is 15.6 C and ranges from 12 C and 20 C. The slopes are covered by forests. The main agricultural crops are rice and wheat in the valleys. Terraced fields are often used for corn and potatoes and a considerable area of tea. The soils are mainly limestone soils in the upper regions and brown and yellow- brown soils in the lowlands.

39 5. Summary and Outlook Climate change have direct impact on water cycle: surface runoff, lateral runoff, percolation, and ET. For most scenarios, surface runoff and percolation are most sensitive to climate change. Climate change impacts on water resources strongly depend on the applied climate scenario. Hydrologic impact of climate change using multi-model ensembles of future climate and hydrological model ensembles Quantify the impact of land management on water balance
