Water Resources Vulnerability Assessment in the Yanggongjiang Watershed in Lijiang,China
An index system,including 17 indicators covering five aspects—— Driver- Pressure- State- Impact- Response( DPSIR model),was constructed to assess the water resource vulnerability( WRV) in the Yanggongjiang watershed in Lijiang,China. The weights of the indicators were calculated using the analytic hierarchy process( AHP). The result illustrated that the WRV degree was extreme high,high,and median in the watershed in 2008,2020,and 2030 respectively. It delineated that the risk would remain highalthough the WRV degree would reduce significantly after implementing the water resource master plan in the future in the Lijiang plain. Water resource management need to be reinforced in the watershed in order to address the coming difficulties and challenges.
