Foundation of China (NSFC) in 2010. The scientific objectives of the Heihe Plan is to reveal the processes and mechanisms of the eco-hydrological system in an inland river basin at different scales (eg, leaf, individual plant, community, landscape, and watershed scales); to improve the research capabilities and predictability of the evolution of hydrological, ecological, and economic systems; to determine the responses of eco-hydrological processes to climate change and human activities; and to provide fundamental theory and technical support for water security, ecological security, and sustainable development in inland river basins. Eventually, the implementation of the Heihe Plan will establish a research platform that integrates the observation, data management, and model simulation of both physical and socioeconomic processes to foster twenty-first-century watershed science in China.
