In order to reduce the environmental and ecological pr o - blems induced by water resources management and use, this paper propo - ses a concept of environmenta water requirement. It is defined as the mini- mum water amount to be consumed by the natural water bodies to conser - ve its environmental and ecological functions. Based on the definition, the methods for calculating the amount of environmental and ecological water requirement are determined. In the case study on Haihe-Luanhe river system, the water requirement is divided into three parts, i.e., the basic in- stream flow, water requirement for sediment transfer and water consump - tion by evaporation of the lakes or everglades. The results of the calcula- tion show that the environmental and ecological water requirement in the river system is about 124x108 m3, including 57x108 m3 for basic in-str e - am flow, 63x108 m3 for sediment transfer and 4x108 m3 for net evapora- tion loss of lakes. The total amount of environmental and ecological water requirement accounts for 54% of the amount of runoff (228x108 m3). However, it should be realized that the amount of environmental and eco- logical water requirement must be more than that we have calculated. According to this result, we consider that the rational utilization rate of the runoff in the river systems must not be more than 40%. Since the cur rent utilization rate of the river system, which is over 80%, has been far beyond the limitation, the problems of environment and ecology are quite serious. It is imperative to control and adjust water development and utilization to eliminate the existing problems and to avoid the potential ecological or environmental crisis. RESUMEN: Con el fin de reducir los problemas ambientales inducidos por la gestion y uso de los recursos hidricos, este trabajo propone el con - cepto de requisitos ambientales del agua. Se define como la minima canti - dad de agua que debe mantenerse en las masas naturales de agua para conservar sus funciones ecologicas. A partir de esta definicion se estable- cen los metodos de calculo de tales requisitos. En el caso del sistema del rio Haihe-Luanhe, el requisito hidrologico se divide en tres partes: el flujo basico en el cauce, el agua necesaria para el transporte de sedimento y el agua consumida por evaporacion en lagos y humedales. El resultado del
