Because of the entwinde vnlnerability of the hydrological cycle and human aciovity, hydrological research should not only deal with the science of water cycling in the Earth system, but also examine the cycle's impact on society and in turn, the anthropogenic impact on the hydrological cycle. Anthropogenic impacts on the hydrological cycle are possible from a variety of activities. Land use/land cover transformations, such as topographical modification, urbanization, and the cultivation of different plants, impact the hydrological cycle by altering boundary conditions. Water withdrawals, whether for irrigation, municipal or industrial use, modify water cycles both quantitatively and qualitatively. Thus, the integrated modeling framework is suggested to evaluate the hydrological and enviromental sustainability in the watershed. Three specific items such as non-point source management, integrated managemant of surface-groundwater, mitigation of dried stream and pollution due to urbanization are suggested in this study.
