Abstract
This research project in the Urumqi Region has mainly been aimed at developing a methodological approach for the assessment of the changes in hydrological and water management systems for future megacities. Some of the inherent constraints and challenges are discussed, along with possible measures to overcome them. After evaluating and discussing the models’ function and its results, a final focus is laid on its transferability and the possibilities of improvement.
