Optimization Model of the Ecological Water Replenishment Scheme for Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve Based on Interval Two-Stage Stochastic Programming

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. In section 2. Study Area, there is no reference to Figure 1.
2. It is not clear what objects the author is studying.

Section 2. "Study Area" states:

The Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve is located in the northwest region of Nong'an County, Changchun City, Jilin Province.

And in section 3.2. "Model Parameters" it is indicated

The present work considered the Toudaogang Reservoir, Boluo Lake, Mobopao, Yuanbaowapao, and Aobaotupao in the Boluo Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve as the study areas.

These objects are not shown in Figure 1.

3. What are the criteria for separation each of these five study areas into four types, namely fish pond, crab pond, reed wetland, and marsh wetland.
4. Line 226 "Table 1." indicated twice

Table 1. Table 1. Ecological water replenishment for each lake bubble in the Boluo Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve.

5. In Figure 2 it is not clear which lakes and where are located. It is necessary to point this out.
6. There is no reference to figure 2 in the text
7. Line 318 should contain a link to figure 3
8. Table 3 should be raised higher (lines 299 ), after the paragraph with a link to the table, or even higher
9. Figure 4 and Table 4 have the same information, the author can choose what to leave. In our opinion, the drawing is more informative.
10. There is no reference to figure 4 in the text
11. In the References, lines 473-474 (23 number), 475-476 (24 number), 501-501 (36) are not correct

Reviewer 2 Report

More background would be useful in underlining the importance of the subject, especially in terms of economic and social benefits accrued by the ecological supplement (replenishment) of wetlands. 

Water in terms of use is separated into two main categories, Blue and Green water [1], [2], [3]. In Table 4 (L377) water use is zero but in L300-L317 an analysis is made of increased salinity in groundwater and ways to combat it by reeds which extends to increasing the quality and hence the yield of Green Water in the surrounding grounds.

Otherwise, subject to reviewer's comments, it is eminently publishable.
