Description :
The aim of this paper is to compare the lake-volume changes in the eastern and western lake regions of China during 1950-2000, to diagnose the dynamic mechanism of lake evolution in a regional scale, and furthermore, to provide scientific basis for decision-makers on reasonable allocation and utilization of lake water resources. Climatic change is a primary factor for the variations of lake volume during the past 50 years, although human activities show important effect.
