Abstract:Based on the land-use map (1∶10000) and the remote sensing images(1990,1995,2000 and 2005) of Hongmenchuan watershed of Beijing, the spatial and attribute data of these 4 periods were obtained using ArcView software. Hdrological response to different land use periods on annual runoff, flood season and the single runoff was analyzed with daily precipitation and runoff data in the study area). The results showed that: land use change of Hongmenchuan watershed of Beijing had significant effect on the annual runoff. During 2001-2005 the runoff yield decreased by more than about 70% than that during 1990-1995 and 1996-2000 with the revegetation. Under the same precipitation condition, the runoff yields in different land use types are difference obviously in growth reason, and it is just the apposite in drought period. The single runoff yield during 2001-2006 was only 1/3 of that during 1990-1995 and 1996-2000, which indicated that rainfall use efficiency improved and the possibility of flood decreased.
