Description:
Sustainable land and water management of River Oases along the Tarim River Markus Disse Proc. IAHS, 373, 25-29, doi:10.5194/piahs-373-25-2016, 2016 The Tarim Basin in Xinjiang province in northwest China is characterized by a hyper arid climate. Climate change and a strong increase in agricultural land use are major challenges for sustainable water management. The largest competition for water resources exists between irrigated fields and natural riparian vegetation. The Sino-German project SuMaRiO provided a decision support system based on ecosystem services and will implement sustainable water management measures in the next 5-year plan.
