Abstract: | In light of the ecological health problem occurring between the plain river reach between Daheiting and the estuary of the
Luanhe River, three first-level indicators (river physical characteristic, eco-hydrological characteristic and socio-economic
features) and corresponding fifteen second-level indicators such as river natural connectivity, water quantity, etc., were
employed to establish the analysis hierarchy process (AHP) model. After fitting the AHP model with the data of 2005, the results
show that the overall plain river reach health assessment score is 0.698 and the ecology is basically healthy. Moreover, construction
of the Panjiakou Reservoir on the river mainstream destroyed the river natural morphologies, and finally contributed to the
relatively low scores: 0 and 0.5 for river natural connectivity and river curve degree, respectively. It implicates that measures
such as construction of ecological river course and reservoir dispatching should be taken into account in further restoration
projects of the Luanhe River. |
