“…Chen [27] considered the water suppliers' profitability and distributers' profitability under the perspective of social responsibility and economic benefit. In [28][29][30][31][32][33], the pricing strategies of a competitive two-tier water supply chain including one supplier and two distributers under two-part pricing contract and wholesale price contract was studied, and the findings reveal many practical management insights. In 2018, a study [3] investigated the decision-making strategies of water supply chain members by considering who played the leader and follower, and water resources management insights were provided.…”

A two-tier water supply chain including a manufacturer and a retailer under revenue-sharing contract is constructed. And the contribution of the model is that marketing effort and water purity has been considered. First, four models including the centralized model (model B) and decentralized models (models BM, I, and II) are established and analyzed. Second, the Stackelberg game model is used to discuss the pricing strategy of water supply chain members in centralized and decentralized scenarios. The comparison results show that revenue-sharing contract is beneficial to improve the level of product greening, the profit of supply chain members, and the overall profit of the water supply chain compared with model BM. However, it leads to the decrease of retailers’ green marketing efforts and the wholesale price of water. In addition, revenue-sharing contract through bargaining makes bigger influence than revenue-sharing contract. Marketing can stimulate the increase of the green product’s market demand on one hand, and on the other hand, it generates the amount of marketing cost. In this study, the profit is that marketing produces cannot offset the cost that it brings. Thus, it will be important to take some measures to make up the loss that marketing generated.

“…Nonetheless, the impact of the SNWD has been one of the most hotly debated topics for a long time during the planning, design, construction, and operation phases of the project (Liu, 1998; Wang et al, 2019; Zhang et al, 2015). Previous studies of the SNWD project mainly focused on its impact on groundwater resources (Liang et al, 2019; Ye et al, 2014) and energy reductions (Zhao et al, 2017), its effect on phytoplankton (Chen et al, 2018; Zeng et al, 2015), and hydrological nitrogen and phosphorus pollution (Zhao et al, 2019), as well as the pricing system and water allocation schemes and policies (Du et al, 2019; Pohlner, 2016). However, very few studies have discussed the economic impacts of the SNWD within the context of climatic and societal change (Berkoff, 2003; Fang et al, 2015).…”

With the increasing pressure from population growth and economic development, northern China (NC) faces a grand challenge of water scarcity, which can be further exacerbated by climatic and societal changes. The South‐to‐North Water Diversion (SNWD) project is designed to mitigate the water scarcity in NC. However, few studies have quantified the impact of the SNWD on water scarcity within the context of climatic and societal changes and its potential effects on economic and agricultural food in the region. We used water supply stress index (WaSSI) to quantify water scarcity within the context of environmental change in NC and developed a method to estimate the economic and agricultural impacts of the SNWD. Focuses were put on alleviating the water supply shortage and economic and agricultural benefits for the water‐receiving NC. We find that societal changes, especially economic growth, are the major contributors to water scarcity in NC during 2009–2099. To completely mitigate the water scarcity of NC, at least an additional water supply of 13 billion m3/year (comparable to the annual diversion water by SNWD Central Route) will be necessary. Although SNWD alone cannot provide the full solution to NC's water shortage in next few decades, it can significantly alleviate the water supply stress in NC (particularly Beijing), considerably increasing the agricultural production (more than 115 Tcal/year) and bringing economic benefits (more than 51 billion RMB/year) through supplying industrial and domestic water use. Additionally, the transfer project could have impacts on the ecological environment in the exporting regions.

“…Currently, theories and techniques of supply chain management (SCM) have been applied in the IBWT projects to investigate the interactions among multiple stakeholders and develop equilibrium/coordination operational mechanisms, such as optimal pricing and coordination schemes for the SNWD supply chain [15], coordination mechanism based on revenue sharing contract for the SNWD supply chain with strategic customer [16], asymmetric Nash bargaining model for the SNWD supply chain [17], two-echelon water inventory model with inflow forecasting updates in an IBWT project [18], two-tier pricing and allocation schemes for the SNWD supply chain [19], competition intensity in the water supply chain under two contracts [20], power structures for the competitive water supply chains [21], optimal pricing and ordering strategies for dual competing water supply chains under three contracts [22], subsidy policies and operational strategies for the IBWT green supply chain under social welfare maximization [3,4], impact of the supply capacity constraint and fairness concern on the operational decisions and outcomes of the IBWT supply chain under random precipitation [5], and impact of fully/partial backlogging on the IBWT green supply chain coordination considering water delivery loss under random precipitation [6].…”

Four game-theoretical decision models without/with backlogging for the interbasin water transfer (IBWT) supply chain considering water delivery loss under joint pricing and inventory management (JPIM) are first developed, analyzed, and compared; then, the corresponding numerical and sensitivity analyses are conducted and compared; finally, the managerial insights and practical implementations are summarized in this paper. The research results indicate that (1) a revenue and cost sharing contract could effectively coordinate the IBWT supply chain and improve the operational performance of the IBWT supply chain under JPIM; (2) the partial backlogging strategy of water demand could effectively improve the operational performance of the IBWT supply chain under JPIM; (3) coordination strategy with partial backlogging is the best strategy for improving the operational performance of the IBWT supply chain under JPIM; (4) reducing water delivery loss rate and operational costs and increasing backlogging ratio are beneficial to improving the operational performance of the IBWT supply chain under JPIM.
