Popis: In this paper, I want to describe the water resource vulnerability index of the two biggest cities in Shandong Province in China, Qingdao and Jinan, which represent the coastal and the inland areas of Shandong respectively. The period we study from 2008 to 2018. The Water Resources Vulnerability Index (WRVI) is according to the DPSIR (Drive, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response) framework, an index is established to qualify water resource vulnerability through water scarcity, water stress, water pollution, and water production efficiency. The result indicates that Climate change has a bigger impact on WRVI. Qingdao is more vulnerable than Jinan.
