摘要本文试图估算爱琴海一些主要岛屿的地表水资源潜力，以期为该地区的持续发展提供一种手段，并以此为基础，为世界各地的类似地区提供借鉴。由于水资源在空间和时间上分布不均，这些岛屿不得不面对在半干旱环境中生存的挑战。除此之外，旅游业的发展、工业化和高耗水的生活方式加剧了水资源和水资源管理方面的长期问题。目前努力的框架有两个方面的重点。在第一部分中，提出了一个模拟模型，试图估计潜在的地表径流的物理，结构组织和制度的限制。描述了模拟过程的方法和前提。第二部分对模型在不同情况下的应用结果进行了标定。最终产品，即模型和由此产生的径流系数，以标准的形式提出，这可能会提供在该领域的从业人员以及决策者的手段，在相关的发展努力的初步参考。最后，结论和建议提出了生态系统复原力的问题，并指出迫切需要继续采用水资源综合管理原则。
Abstract The present paper tries to estimate the surface water resources potential in some of the major Aegean islands in an effort to provide a means for the continuous development of the region, and, by extension, for similar areas around the world. The islands have to confront the challenge of surviving in a semiarid environment under the constraints of uneven water resources distribution both in space and time. In addition to these, tourism development, industrialization and highly water consumptive life styles have exacerbated perennial problems in water resources and water resources management. The framework of the present effort has a two-prong emphasis. In the first part, a simulation model is presented, which tries to estimate the potential surface runoff under physical, structural organizational, and institutional constraints. The methodology and the premises of the simulation process are delineated. In the second part, the results of the model's application in distinct cases are demarcated. The final product, namely the model and the resulting runoff coefficients, are presented in the form of a standard, which may provide practitioners in the field as well as decisionmakers the means for an initial reference in pertinent developmental efforts. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations raise the question of ecosystem resilience and point towards the urgent and continuous need for the application of integrated water resources management principles.
