Abstract
Abstract. As one of the most developed regions in China, hydrological process of Taihu
basin was influenced under rapid development of urbanization. Based on
original gauge data and water stage correction data from Bureau of
Hydrology, variability in precipitation and water stage was investigated by
Mann–Kendall test. The results demonstrated that: (1) The highest water
stage (HWS), lowest water stage (LWS), average water stage (AWS) of all
months had increasing trends, especially significantly in non-flood season.
The LWS also increased significantly in May, July, September, and November,
while the AWS increased significantly in September and November. (2) Water
diversion from Yangtze River to Taihu Basin and supplying to the downstream,
had strong effects on water stage increase of Taihu Lake. Finally,
recommendations based on the correlation between precipitation and water
stage was proposed to protect effective utilization of water resources from
the impacts of rapid urbanization.
