Abstract
The process and mechanism of the water environmental capacity, and the coupling mechanism between it and the hydrological processes were studied. Then, a dynamic approach based on the hydrologic processes was developed in which distributed hydrological and water environmental capacity models were coupled to solve the problem in a traditional way. The Tieling Section of the Liao River Basin was taken as the study area for the purpose of demonstrating the proposed method. The results indicated that the water environmental capacity was uneven during different times and spaces. The results also explained that, contrary to the dynamic methods which separately calculated the years with different frequencies, seasons, or months, the traditional method was too conservative to make full use of the water environmental capacity.
