摘要：Knowledge of the interactions of hydrological processes with the
landscape are important to understand variations in basic hydrological
data for the comprehensive management of basins. Land cover and
land use is one essential factor in the assessment of such management
problems. In this study in a representative German basin, available land
cover and land use data is analysed in correspondence with available
hydrological measuring data.
The aim of this study is to analyse the relationships between hydrological
data and land use and to obtain a monitoring strategy which allows a
valuable support to a comprehensive management of river basins.
Two spatial scales, the basin Gersprenz and its subbasin Fischbach, are
described in detail regarding the variations in electrical conductivity
(EC) as a parameter of water quality with high resolution field data from
the state-wide monitoring network (12 stations) as well as from own
research monitoring (12 stations). The results show that water quality,
using EC as an indicator, can be related to land use pattern. From stream
source to mouth, there is an increase in anthropogenic impacts and the
EC values show an increasing tendency in downstream direction. This
anthropogenic impact is due to agricultural use, settlements, commerce
and industry areas, and discharges of waste water. The hydrological
monitoring will be continued in the future to give the possibility to assess
long-term variations on different spatial and temporal scales.
