Analysis and evaluation of water environmental carrying capacity in Three Gorges Reservoir

The idea of water environmental carrying capacity(WECC)is put forward to protect water environment from being polluted and maintain the sustainable development of economy and society. Based on the related research work,WECC in the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)is investigated and the spatial-temporal distributing of WECC is pictured. The conclusion that the project will reduce the amount of WECC in TGR is made after the study of the influence of TGR on the environment in TGR. This paper not only enhanced the management of the water environment in TGR,but also promotes the further study of WECC.
