Study On Coordinate Development Between Tourism And Water Environment In Huangshan Mountain Resort

With water use increasing rapidly as a result of population growth, industrializationand expansion of irrigated agriculture, many countries are approaching serious watercrises with depleted and heavily contaminated surface water and groundwater resources.The availability and quality of water resources has received much international attentionin recent years. Many problems of water environment hinder sustainable developmentparticularly in the 21th century. Tourism industry is one of important economy industries.Flourishing tourism industry has influenced water resources obviously, and problem ofcoordinate development between tourism and water enviornment has been put on theagenda.As a case of Huangshan Mountain, based on its water environment actualities, thispaper discusses the equilibrium of water supply and demand and water ecology system,and trys to build models of dinamic resovior control and "water quantity—water quality—water ecology system"coupling. At the end, aimed with governance and sustainabledevelopment theories, the paper puts up integrative management model of waterenvironment in Mountain resorts, which could be consulted by sustainable developmentmanagement of Huangshan and other congeneric resorts.The paper consists of 5 chapters:Chapter 1, General IntroductionThe paper mainly analyzes background and significance of selecting the topic. Theauthor proposes its own study methods, contents and train of thoughts.Chapter 2, Relative review of the progress at home and abroadThe paper summarized the progress of water environment about tourist destination athome and abroad. The author finds that overseas scholars emphasize particularly on studyof water resources use, management and practice feedback from the point of view oftourism, environment and equilibrium system. But at home, the scholars haven'tcomprehensively adopted relative subject theories and methods. They pay attention towater landscape planning, natural influences of water environment, such as watercontamination, status evaluation and so on; its social and economic influences are ignored.This paper thinks that study on coordination between tourism and water environment isthe important content and field of sustainable tourism development in the future.Chapter 3, Analysis on equilibrium between water supply and demand about tourismThe paper takes the current years as a benchmark and calculates the current quantityof water demand; adopts methods of representative years and calculates the quantity ofwater shortage in plentiful and scarce years; then systematically analysizes the features ofwater supply and demand contradiction and influencing factors. At last, the authorpredicts water supply and demand in mid-, far-years, builds the model of dynamicreservoir control, and proposes the man-made measures of using reservior and drawingwater project.Chapter 4, Analysis on water ecology capacityThe author thinks that quantities of water supply couldn't increase illimitably, andshoud consider water ecology capacity. Take BOD5 as an influencing factor of waterquality, the author calculates day average capacities and year capacities in Xiaoyaoxi,Chengxiangyuan, Lianhuagou and Danxiaxi in plentiful, normal and scarce rainfall years,analyzes current features of water ecology capacity. At last, the author regards waterecology capacity as the critical quantity of the biggest water supply, and builds the modelof "water quantity—water quality—water ecology system"coupling by water usestandards.Chapter 5, Integrative management of water environmentThe author lucubrates actualities and influencing factors of water environmentmanagement in Huangshan Mountain resort, compares with other Mountain resorts ofdifferent lifecycles, points out existing problems of coordinate development betweentourism management and water environment, and proposes the integrative managementmodel of water environment. At last, aimed with governance and sustainable developmenttheories, the author advises some countermeasures of integral management from the ange...
