“…To achieve the goal of urban water conservation, it is important to improve water production capacity and reduce water loss in production and transportation through the construction of water resource-use infrastructure [57,58], such as urban water source protection projects, water purification and storage facilities and water transportation pipelines. As water scarcity variation has mainly been related to the properties of water and its role in natural-human systems [59], attention should also be paid to scientific incentive mechanisms for urban water-use through the innovation and promotion of water-use technologies [60], rights transactions [61], pricing [62,63], and the cultivation of water-saving awareness [9]. It is undoubted that the water-saving society policy in China can effectively reduce water consumption per CNY 10,000 GDP, as mentioned above, by increasing water-saving investments and developing water-saving behaviors.…”

The increased demand for water resources due to urban population and economic growth has worsened the urban water crisis. In order to address this issue, a policy of “developing a water-saving society” (namely, water-saving society policy) has been implemented in some Chinese cities. This study takes 285 cities at the prefecture level and above as the sample and uses the propensity score matching (PSM) method to analyze the effect of China’s urban water-saving society policy on the reduction of water consumption per CNY 10,000 gross domestic product (GDP) from 2005 to 2017. The results show that the water-saving society policy significantly (p < 0.01) reduced water consumption in the study period; however, the effects differed between cities with different water resource endowments, economic development level, and urban scale. Specifically, there was a positive water consumption reduction effect in cities in humid areas, with low economic development, or of large scale, while the effect was limited in cities in arid areas, with high economic development, or of small scale. Therefore, for areas where water resource supply is insufficient, water-saving policy should be designed and implemented suiting local conditions, and it is also necessary to explore more water sources.

“…Hence, the development of a scientific methodology grounded in long-term planning is necessary to bolster water supply strategies and enhance system sustainability. Moreover, the management of a water supply system is complicated due to the presence of multiple stakeholders [ 3 ]. In essence, a long-term strategic decision-making process that disregards the availability of water resources is destined for failure, as certain regions experience water surplus while others suffer from unmet water demands.…”

In general, the sustainability of the water supply system is indicative of an adaptive operational approach, wherein the decision-maker adjusts the system’s performance based on the availability of water resources in a given time frame. In light of this, a novel framework is proposed in this study to evaluate sustainability, including three key indicators: resilience, reliability, and vulnerability. To address stressors that may lead to system failure, a multisectoral water allocation optimization is undertaken. In order to account for the future implications of climate change on the hydrological cycle, a simulation step, is incorporated, utilizing the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) under various emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5), prior to integrating the streamflow data into our proposed optimal framework. To calibrate and validate historical data (2014–2019) and simulate future streamflow patterns (2025–2085), the Sistan Basin, located in an arid region of Iran, is analyzed as a case study. In light of the anticipated adverse impacts on the water supply system, certain adaptation measures, such as demand shrinkage scenarios, are considered to further appraise the proposed framework. Based on the final output, it is evident that the agricultural and industrial sectors, being the primary water consumers, are more susceptible to negative impacts resulting from the reduction in system sustainability. This susceptibility is primarily attributed to their highest vulnerability and comparatively lower reliability.

The dairy sector in Morocco is a sector that struggles to develop by facing several difficulties. Therefore, a significant gap has emerged between the main national producers and small farmers, while in the economy, the development of small economic actors presents an important lever of growth. If we assume that the consumer’s milk demand function is linear, that it depends only on the consumer’s price, and that production costs follow a decreasing return, and finally, by considering only two actors representing the different types of producers, we will show in this paper that a competitive production subsidy of 0.5 MAD can triple the market share of small farmers while being in a situation of Nash-Cournot’s equilibrium. In addition, the addition of a subsidy to production costs will reduce the price of milk and, thus, increase the annual milk consumption of Moroccans from 59 liters, which is below the world average consumption, to 94 liters annually, thus benefiting the consumer in addition to small farmers.
