Abstract
Based on the water resources of the Shiyang, Heihe and Shule river basins in the Hexi Corridor and their original runoff volume, the actual annual water resources in the oasis of every county and town of the Hexi Corridor are calculated in detail. From the point of view of ecological balance, the ecological water requirement in oasis and farmland in this region are determined. Then, to basically keep the natural ecological balance of every county and town, the proper oasis area and farmland area are given.
