Abstract
The Yellow River's long-term hydrological regime and its responses to precipitation and temperature changes were investigated by producing a streamflow, precipitation and temperature relationship based on the observed data using ArcGIS geostatistical analysis. The results indicated that the runoff was sensitive to both precipitation and temperature and their relationship was nonlinear. This means that the water problem of the Yellow River is likely to be more critical in future scenarios involving global warming. The precipitation elasticity of the runoff was also calculated and discussed.
