Abstract
This paper firstly analyses the hydrologic characteristics of the major rivers around the Taklimakan Desert with the method of mathematical statistics. Secondly, structure features of annual runoff series of these rivers are discussed both in time domain and in frequency domain with the method of time series analysis. From the analysis, it can be learnt that the nature quantity of water in the rivers in this area is generally steady and the annual runoff series of rivers is mostly independent stationary random sequence. Therefore, this paper can provide scientific basis for runoff variation law research and reasonal exploitation and utilization of water resource in this area.
