Abstract

Because of the influence of climate change and human activities,runoff change has oc-curred.This paper analyzes the natural runoff series of the upper and middle reaches of the Yel-low River with the theory of wavelet transformation,reveals multi-time scale changes rule of runoff,and discusses the influencing factors of runoff multi-time scale changes.The results showed that climatic conditions such as precipitation mainly controlled river runoff variations.But varia-tions in drainage basin underlying surface and local climate factor brought by human activity af-fected natural annual runoff.The results are important to know runoff changes and to exploit wa-ter resources of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River.
