Dynamics of open-surface water in Guanting Reservoir basin: a Google Earth Engine platform study

  • Open-surface water plays an important role in social-ecological system.Dynamics of open-surface water has significant effect on variations in water resource supply and ecological integrity.Timely long-term monitoring of open-surface water would provide guidance for protection and sustainable utilization of water resources.The Google Earth Engine platform was used to extract 5196 Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI images from 1987 to 2018, which were then processed and composed to medians per year.The two-step urban water index and slope-mask method were then used to obtain long-term dynamics of open-surface water in Guanting Reservoir basin.Validation revealed an overall accuracy of up to 93.5% with a Kappa coefficient of 0.87.Piecewise linear regression was applied to analyze the dynamics of open-surface water.The open-surface water from 1987 to 2018 experienced a slow increase, followed by a rapid decrease, and a sharp increase.The average annual changes in open-surface water area were found to be 5.50 km2 during the slow increase period from 1987 to 1996, −7.45 km2 during the rapid decrease period from 1997 to 2010, and 15.19 km2 during the sharp increase period from 2011 to 2018.Variations in annual precipitation had major influence on the area of open-surface water, with a regression determination coefficient of 0.29 (P < 0.01).Anthropogenic impacts, i.e., increased water consumption from both open-surface water and groundwater, and land use change associated with open-surface water, became more notable after 1997.This study provides helpful tips for water resource protection and regional sustainable development in the context of rapid urbanization.
