The difficulty in quantifying the ecological target is a general scheduling problem in the field of reservoir ecological regulation,and the micro-ecological requirements for the macro-control of river are often hard to satisfy.In the paper,a flow restoration method is adopted to obtain the flow process that is needed for the restoration of river eco-hydrological system health,and by this method a model is developed for the integrated scheduling of cascade reservoirs on the Yellow River mainstream.Through controlling the flows at the Yellow River eco-sections,water allocation schemes under different ecological requirements in the present conditions are obtained by applying this model.The calculations show that the eco-flow control greatly increases the design probability of water supply in the lower reaches of Yellow River,while causing small changes in water stress index,power generation and ecological damage rate.In the future 2020,however,the eco-flow control only brings about some increases in water stress index and ecological damage rate,but nearly no improvement on water supply or power generation.Thus,we conclude that the indicators′ responses to reservoir ecological regulation in the Yellow River basin was not significant at present,while after 2020 the regulation will play an important role in the ecological protection to this basin and nearly no role in the power generation of cascade reservoirs.In the future,ecological regulation may become a crucial technique in relieving the pressure of increasing ecological damage rate and a possible measure for protecting the ecosystems.To meet the ecological water demand along the Yellow River mainstream,however,greater difficulties remain,unless drawing water resources from other river basins.
