Evaluating water provision service at the sub-watershed scale by combining supply, demand, and spatial flow

Water provision service is crucial for human society to survive and develop. It is essential to evaluate the importance of sub-watersheds, based on their different capacities to provide water resources to manage an entire watershed. Previous studies have assessed the importance of the sub-watershed...

It is essential to evaluate the importance of sub-watersheds, based on their different capacities to provide water resources to manage an entire watershed. Previous studies have assessed the importance of the sub-watershed by analyzing its supply and/or demand of water provision service.

The importance of the sub-watershed was evaluated using the importance index, which was calculated using the spatial flow and the accumulative beneficial population of the water provision service. The spatial flow was simulated using a simplified water flow model, and the accumulative beneficial population was based on the direction and path of water provision service spatial flow. The results indicated that 60% of sub-watersheds with “very high” importance were located in the middle and lower reaches of Xin'an River and Lan River. Due to the internal consumption and sink of the water provision service, the upstream area may provide less spatial flow and may have a lower level of importance.
