Abstract
Based on sociological survey on the situation of water resources in Heihe River Basin China, using fractal theory, a nonlinear analysis of survey data was conducted according to different areas and different employments. A new concept, degree of water resources shortage (WRS), was introduced in this paper. We found that WRS had fractal charcateristics, and its fractal dimension (D) was a indicator to measure WRS, that is, the smaller the value of D, the higher the value of WRS. From upper reaches to lower reaches the change of WRS showes an exponential increase. D of farmer and herdsmen, office workers, cadres of the water sector was 0.3987, 0.72 and 0.4941 respectively. It showes that WRS of farmer and herdsmen is higest in all of sample. In order to solve the problem of water resources in Heihe River Basin, it is required to further enhance the people’s awareness of the water resources shortage.
