Integrated Water Resources Management of Inland River Basins in the Hexi Corridor, Gansu, China with Special Reference to the Shule River Basin

ABSTRACT

Inland or internal drainage systems (also called Endoheic) are closed hydrologic systems. Their surface waters drain to inland terminal locations (Fig. 5.1) where the water evaporates or seeps into the ground, having no access to discharge into the sea (see Kingsford et al., this volume).
