Considering the impact of the special geological and climatic conditions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau on the hydrological cycle, this study established the WEP-QTP hydrological model. The snow cover and gravel layers affected the temporal and spatial changes in frozen soil and improved the regulation of groundwater on the flow process. Ignoring he influence of special underlying surface conditions has a great impact on the hydrological forecast and water resource utilization in this area.

Combining the geological characteristics of the thin soil layer on the thick gravel layer and the climate characteristics of the long-term snow cover of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the WEP-QTP hydrological model was constructed by dividing a single soil structure into soil and gravel. In contrast to the general cold area, the special environment of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau affects the hydrothermal transport process, which can not be ignored in hydrological forecast and water resource assessment.

Using 1956～2012 years of river runoff series data of 27 rivers in hilly gully area of Loess Plateau in Shaanxi province 39 hydrological station data, reduction of social and economic water consumption, plotting the annual precipitation and annual runoff double cumulative curve of annual runoff flow series consistency test, the consistency processing of annual runoff data and the quantitative analysis of its influence were also made.

Real-time reservoir flood control operation is controlled manually by reservoir operators based on their experiences and justifications, rather than by computer automatically. We use a human-machine interactive modeling method to combine computer optimization model, human’s consideration, and reservoir stage observations for actual decisions on release for real-time reservoir flood control operation. The proposed method can reduce the flood risk and improve water use benefit simultaneously.

This paper provides a complete data set of global water withdrawal. There is almost no continuous long series of water withdrawal data globally. Moreover, most of the data released by international organizations is based on national scale and lacks finer regional data. Therefore, appropriate methods are needed to modify the data. This dataset has important practical significance in promoting the harmonious and sustainable development of economy and resources of the world.
