Projecting Water Yield Amidst Rapid Urbanization: A Case Study of the Taihu Lake Basin by Rui Zhou, Yanan Zhou, Weiwei Zhu, Li Feng, Lumeng Liu

“…Taking the rapidly urbanizing Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) as an example, coupled with the PLUS-InVEST model, three scenarios of a natural development (ND) scenario, urban development (UD) scenario, and ecological protection (EP) scenario were set to simulate the response mechanisms of land use changes for WY and the influence of policy-making on the water conservation capacity of river basins. (1) During 2000 and 2020, the Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) experienced rapid urbanization, which was evident in the conversion of forest and cropland for urban development. (2) From 2000 to 2020, the TLB’s WY first decreased and then increased, ranging from 201.52 × 10⁸ m³ to 242.70 × 10⁸ m³. …”
