AbstractThe ecological water diversion project in the Heihe River Basin is the first successful case in China in which the ecological systems in a river basin have been rescued. This project serves as a valuable example for the management of ecosystems in other inland river basins. This paper reviews the integrated studies of the water–ecosystem–economy relationship in the Heihe River Basin and concludes that sustainable development in inland river basins requires the basin to be considered as a whole, with the relationships between the upstream, midstream and downstream areas of the basin coordinated appropriately. Successful development in these basins will be reflected in an improved output per cubic meter of water and the implementation of integrated river basin management practices.

Based on the land use data in midstream of the Heihe River Basin in 1986, the CLUE-S model was used to simulate the land use distribution in 2000. In addition, the simulated map was verified by the land use map in 2000. Then the spatial pattern of land used in 2015 under the scenario without water diversion was simulated. The results show that the CLUE-S model could be applied to simulate the spatial pattern of land use changes in midstream of the Heihe River basin. Under both scenarios, cultivated land and construction land area showed a tendency of increasing. Forestland, pastureland and unused land showed a tendency of decreasing, while the convert tendency from unused land to other land use types was accelerated. The water surface area decreased under the scenario without water diversion, while under ecological water diversion scenario it showed a tendency of increasing. After the implementation of water diversion, the speed was accelerated. Under the scenario without water diversion, the main types of land use changes were cultivated land, pastureland and water surface area. Conversely, they were cultivated land, pastureland and unused land.
