Assessment models of water resources are developed. Impact s of extreme climate events on water resources and impacts of drought and f lood on agriculture are further studied. In the end, possible impacts of cl imate change in coming years are discussed on the basis of climate model si mulation. Countermeasures and suggestions are put forward for realizing wat er resources sustainable utilization.
