“…These regulations provide an important reference point for the complexities and potential environmental impacts that must be considered when managing interregional water resources. By building massive water diversion projects, humans are creating "artificial rivers" on Earth [11], which have a profound impact on the global water supply network, alleviating the uneven distribution of water resources in time and space and increasing the availability of water resources [12]. In the future, we may face a world dominated by engineered water, which is the key measure to solve the contradiction between water supply and demand.…”

The uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources has consistently been one of the most significant limiting factors for social development in many regions. Furthermore, with the intensification of climate change, this inequality is progressively widening, posing a critical challenge to the sustainable development of human societies. The construction of large-scale water projects has become one of the crucial means to address the contradictions between water supply and demand. Thus, evaluating the functional aspects of water source network structures and systematically planning the layout of engineering measures in a scientifically reasonable manner are pressing issues that require urgent attention in current research efforts. Addressing this, our study takes the Erhai Lake basin and the surrounding areas in southwest China as the study area and combines landscape ecology and network analysis theory methods to propose a water supply network analysis method that takes into account both structure and node characteristics. Based on this methodology, we analyze the connectivity characteristics of water supply networks in the Erhai region under current (2020) and future (2035) planning scenarios. The results show that there were 215 nodes and 216 links in the water supply network of the Erhai Lake basin in 2020; with the implementation of a series of water conservancy projects, the planned 2035 water supply network will increase by 122 nodes and 163 links, and the connectivity of the regional water network will be significantly improved. Also, we identify some key nodes in the network, and the results show that the water supply network in 2035 will have obvious decentralization characteristics compared with that in 2020. And, based on the network degradation analysis, we find that with the implementation of engineering measures, the resilience of the water supply network will be significantly strengthened by 2035, with stronger risk tolerance. This study extends the quantitative representation of water source network characteristics, which can provide a useful reference for water network structure planning and optimization.

“…Their effectiveness in a digital environment depends on the management system that is created [4,5], the adopted decision-making procedures, timing forecasting technologies [6], risks, and funding procedures. With weak management, megaprojects threaten regional ecology [7] and local communities [8] and conflict with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS). Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, several projects aim to curb the dangerous virus, while others try to make super profits by degrading the environment and the living conditions of the population.…”

The article aims to determine the nature of changes in the attractiveness of the labor market of megaprojects from the perspective of megapolis residents under the conditions of digitalization and the long-lasting pandemic of COVID-19. The paper develops a scientific-methodological and categoricalconceptual apparatus with the support of empirical methods with distance methods. The study shows that the attractiveness of the labor market of megaprojects has undergone certain changes for megapolis residents under the current conditions. The factors of the attractiveness of the labor market of megaprojects are of a stable nature in the minds of megapolis residents. The main advantage of the work is the identification of trends in the changes of the megaproject labor market and the relationships they have. The study reveals both general and private trends. The obtained results can be used for further study of the megaproject labor market and the improvement of the social policy of the state and megalopolises in the conditions of digitalization and the prolonged pandemic.

“…However, it is noteworthy that there are authors in the literature who present opposing arguments or problems/disadvantages—from environmental, social, political, or economic aspects—of large water transposition projects, whether specific to the PISF or similar projects around the world. Among them, for example: Ab'sáber (2006, 2011), Soares (2013), Castro (2011a, 2011b), Feijó and Torggler (2007), Guimarães (2016)—specifically for PISF—and Berkoff (2003), Webber et al (2017), Lin (2017), Wang et al (2021), for other projects.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the socio‐economic impacts of the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF). In order to do that, a dynamic inter‐regional computable general equilibrium model is used, called TERM‐NEPISF. An increase in investments and in the total productivity of factors in the agricultural sectors was simulated. In general, the results reveal that greater investment and increase productivity has positive effects on GDP, employment, and household consumption, with rural workers and lower‐income households benefited the most. Furthermore, the results show a negative variation of the Gini index for almost all regions, expressing reduction of regional disparities.
