Abstract

Precise and efficient allocation of existing water resources is of great significance to protect and restore desert riparian forests in inland river basins. However, the lack of detailed ecological zoning in most basins hinders the optimization of the current ecological sluice regulation scheme, leading to low effectiveness in vegetation restoration and water resources management. To address this problem, we proposed for the first time an ecological zoning method that integrates the vegetation gradient model and control of ecological sluices. Specifically, the mainstream of Tarim River basin (China) was classified into three types of ecological functional zones, i.e., key protection, key restoration, and ecologically sensitive zones, based on the kernel NDVI (kNDVI) gradient detection framework. On this basis, the basin was divided into 27 sluice group control areas determined by the control range of ecological sluices and the study area was further divided into five grades zones of ecological rotation irrigation. Based on the results of ecological zoning and the priorities of rotational irrigation, this study proposes a new rotational irrigation model in the basin to further promote vegetation recovery. The results showed that guarantee rate of ecological water supply to vegetation protection and restoration increased from 82.3% to 101.7% before and after rotational irrigation, respectively, indicating the effectiveness of this new method. The results of this study have a practical value and may significantly contribute to the optimal allocation and management of water resources in global arid basins.
