Dynamic Assessment of Agricultural Drought Risk in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2000 to 2018 by LIU Guonie, LIANG Yuanyuan, QIU Yue, XIA Jingxia, DING Mengyao, SUN Peng

“…In the context of global warming and climate change,drought poses a serious threat to agricultural production.The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a “sensor” and “sensitive area” of climate change.Researching the agricultural drought risk of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is conducive to drought prevention planning of the area and improving the ability to resist drought.A risk assessment model is developed for agricultural droughts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in light of regional disaster system theory,which is employed to investigate the hazard,exposure,vulnerability and spatiotemporal features of agricultural droughts therein.Moreover,the paper regionalizes the risk grade at a county level.The results show the followings:① The hazard of agricultural drought risk on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau presents a “high-low-high” distribution from southeast to northwest,and the southeastern region shows an increasing trend.Wheat and highland barley in the eastern and southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are at a high agricultural drought risk from July to September.Forages in the northern region are at a high agricultural drought risk from April to August.② The regional difference of agricultural drought exposure in Tibet Plateau is small.The exposure shows an increasing trend in the east and northwest while a decreasing trend in the central and west.③ The agricultural drought vulnerability of 98.79% of the counties and cities is decreasing,which passes the significance test at the confidence level of 99%.④ The southeastern and northern regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau witness a high agricultural drought risk and an increasing trend of it.…”

Research on Terminal Agricultural Water Price Model Based on Multi-Factor Discussion by LI Jianguo, JIA Dongmei

“…In recent years,as the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price continuously deepens,regions have made some remarkable achievements.The key to the reform of the water price is to build a scientific and reasonable formation mechanism for agricultural water price.After deeply analyzing the influencing factors of agricultural water price,this paper summarizes that the endowment condition of water resources,the affordability of users,the cost of water supply,and the reasonable allocation of cost water price are the key factors affecting the composition of terminal agricultural water price.In order to obtain a more reasonable terminal water price,the authors incorporate the above factors into the calculation model and modify the terminal water price.On this basis,with the comprehensive reform pilot of agricultural water price in a county as an example,the terminal operating cost water price,full cost water price,and two-part water price in the pilot area are calculated.Compared with the current irrigation water price,the terminal water price calculated under different years is higher than the current price.Since the pilot area is in the early stage of reform,the authors propose that the water supply price can be raised to the operating cost price,so as to ensure the reasonable funds required for the normal operation of water conservancy projects.In the later stage,as the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price continuously deepens,the water supply price can be gradually raised to the full cost price,so as to give better play to the economic leverage role of the price mechanism.…”
