“…The average tributary concentration in this study was 9.1 ng/L, which is signi cantly higher than the average concentration of 5.8 ng/L in the mainstream. However, when the scope expands to the large watershed, the discharge loads of atrazine are mainly obscured by high spatiotemporal heterogeneity 33 . The pesticide discharge areas are mainly located in intensive agricultural areas.…”

Precipitation variation profoundly affects agricultural development and increases the diffuse pollution risk, which may weaken the positive effects of pesticide reduction policy. This study aimed to analyze the response of pesticide discharge loads in the largest vulnerable watershed to pesticide application intensity and precipitation variance before and after implementing the pesticide reduction policy. We integrated empirical models, field observation and statistics to explore the sensitive factors of the typical pesticide atrazine before and after the pesticide reduction policy in the Yellow River Watershed. The results showed that the implementation of pesticide reduction policy effectively decreased the discharge load of atrazine within the watershed annually. In addition, the most sensitive factor of atrazine discharge loads shifted from precipitation to the atrazine application intensity after implementing the pesticide reduction policy. However, the discharge loads of atrazine significantly increased in an unusual high precipitation year after implementing the pesticide reduction policy.

“…The Yellow River is the second-longest river in China, which is also known as the birthplace of Chinese civilization and China's mother river [1]. Currently, the Yellow River supports approximately 9% of the national population on 2% of runoff in China, having a significant position in China's economic and social development [2,3]. In 2019, the Chinese government proposed an ecological protection and high-quality development plan for the Yellow River Basin and elevated it to a major national strategy [4].…”

Considering the issues of water scarcity, water environment deterioration, and unreasonable allocation of water resources in the urban area of the Yellow River Basin, this paper introduces the human–water harmony theory to the allocation of regional water resources. Based on an analysis of the structural characteristics of the regional water resource system, the harmonious water resource allocation (HWRA) model—which includes three sub-systems (i.e., the water service system, ecological environmental system, and economic and social system)—is established. In addition, considering the uncertain factors in the HWRA model, the inexact fuzzy multi-objective programming (IFMOP) method is used to solve the model, aiming at achieving the minimum amount of regional water scarcity, the minimum amount of sewage discharge, and the maximum total economic benefit. A case study of water resource allocation of Binzhou, a city located in the Yellow River Basin, is conducted to validate the model. The model solution results show that the water resource system in Binzhou in 2025 and 2035 could be optimized after harmonious allocation, especially in terms of the water service and ecological environmental systems. Compared with the optimal water resource allocation (OWRA) model, the HWRA model has a more scientific water supply structure, and a smaller amount of sewage discharge. The HWRA model solves the variables using an interval number, so it can flexibly and scientifically reflect the decision-making process.

The effects of Sub-Watersheds (SWs) on each other can be more important in Flood Generation Potential (FGP). Therefore, the present study aims for prioritizing SWs based on FGP using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Methods including Game Theory (GT), Best-Worst Method (BWM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Analytical Network Process (ANP), Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) and comparing its results with Hydrological Modeling Approach (HMA) in the Cheshmeh-Kileh Watershed, Iran. In GT, Condorcet algorithm were used. The best and worst criteria were identi ed using the BWM and compared with other criteria. In AHP and ANP, expert opinions were used and the nal weight of criteria and alternative was calculated using Expert Choice and Super Decision softwares. ArcGIS10.1 software was also used to fuzzy and provide FAHP and FANP. In HMA, HEC-HMS software was used to calculate the discharge with return periods of 10-and 100-year, and nally, in all methods, FGP maps were prepared in three classes and SWs were prioritized. Based on the results of different methods, SWs 9, 2, 7, 10 and 11 were given high FGP priority. Downstream SWs were also in a noncritical state due to dense forest cover and low slope. A comparative evaluation between the methods showed that BWM had the same result as the eld evidence and HMA results and this method provided the best result. Based on SWs prioritization in BWM, high and low FGP were 33.33 and 46.67% of the study area, respectively. After BWM, GT gave a relatively good result. AHP, ANP, FAHP and FANP presented different results, but had poor performance in identifying critical areas. This study showed that optimal MCDM approaches can be used for ood management.
