Analysis on current situation and existing problems of water resources utilization in Yellow River basin of Inner Mongolia, China

The Yellow River basin in Inner Mongolia is an important part of the ecological barrier in northern China. With the rapid economic development, continuous population growth and the impact of climate change, the imbalance between supply and demand of the Yellow River water resources and the contradiction between water use are more prominent. This study analyzes the current situation of water resources utilization in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia in recent ten years, and comprehensively analyzes the current situation of water resources utilization in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia through the changes of total water supply, water supply type, water consumption, water consumption industry, water consumption and other indicators. On this basis, it is found that the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources is prominent, the reuse rate of recycled water is low, the basin collaborative protection mechanism is not perfect, and the social participation in water resources management is weak. This paper tries to provide reference for solving the dilemma of water resources protection and sustainable development in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia.
