The English writing is generally OK. Part of this MS can be improved, e.g., "mainly clustering in".

Reviewer 2 Report

The article is interesting and I believe it has practical potential in use for water management. The authors have made a number of interesting maps, illustrating the spatial distribution of the analyzed parameters. The layout of the article as well as the materials used are appropriate for this type of study and the choice should be considered justified. However, the work requires some adjustments:

Figure 1: No reference of the analyzed area against the background of the whole of China. What was the criterion for the separation (formal or established by the authors) of the section in question?

Line 48-49: The input mainly refers to precipitation, while the output includes evaporation and both surface and subsurface runoff”.  This statement is true but has reference to natural boundaries, i.e. catchment areas. Here the authors consider regions in administrative terms.

In the article I do not find detailed information on the important component of the water balance that is retention. What I have in mind here is primarily changes in retention in the context of the expansion of dam reservoirs. What is their distribution? What effect does this have on the results obtained?

How was the pointwise influence of large cities on the spatial distribution of the analyzed variables within the analyzed regions eliminated?

It would be clearer to divide the chapter Results and discussions into two separate sections. The first clearly presenting the results obtained and the second relating these results to other studies of this type.
