“…Viewed from the macro perspective on water allocation, electric power usually is used for representing the capability of water achievement in a region (Cabraal et al, 2005), which is assumed economic assessment of a level of regional development inclines to the level of electric power consumption, and presents the difference of regional characteristics of regional economies in China. For this reason, we set a Fixed Effect model to further look over both structural changes and variation changes at the provincial level from year 2004 to 2012 in the following constructed Eq.…”

a b s t r a c tWe examine relationships between nationwide sparing use of water and farmer income of China in this article. As increasing implementation of water projects and irrigation system, the cost of water use has increased in many regions. However, as local policy-oriented urban expansion and ecological restoration have carried out during the past decade, water demand has increased. The spatial distributions of water use and farmer income are uneven and their relationships are ambiguous over time, especially it is uncertain that farmers can benefit from those so called water-saving programs when urban expansion grows faster in China. Based on consumption theory, empirical results of Blundell-Bond dynamic panel-data model with generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators indicate saving one percent of water has positive impacts at 0.085-0.35 percent on farmer income in the following statistical year. Population has negative impacts on farmer income. Particularly in Central China, one percent of increase in population will statistically significantly decrease 0.276 percent of contemporaneous farmer income. Particularly, in Eastern China with large population during years 2004 through 2012, the total amount of water use increases one percent, contemporaneous farmer income loses 0.04 percent. Thus, saving water can benefit future farmer income, and it indicates that urban expansion may induce the diversion of resources and agricultural production from rural to urban area. Policy implication of relationships between water allocation and farmer income distribution caused by water-saving programs needs to be further studied at regional scale, in particularly to the regions with large population and urban expansion in China.

“…Overall, almost 95% of its energy needs today met by fossil fuels, whereas fossil energy reserves are very limited and the growth rate of energy consumption is high at around 7% per year [1], [2]. Household is one of the sectors that use a lot of energy besides transport, industrial and commercial sectors.…”

This research aims to get optimal chimneys height of double pots biomass stove. Optimal chimneys height needs to provide best performance of the stove. Experimental study was done by varied the chimney heights. Water boiling test as the standard method was used to obtained stove performance for each chimney height variation. The results showed that best performance stove was the one with 1.65 cm chimney height, with thermal efficiency at 37.66%. AbstractStudi Eksperimental Variasi Tinggi Chimney terhadap Kinerja Tungku Pot Ganda Berbasis Biomassa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan tinggi chimney optimum dari tungku biomassa pot ganda. Tinggi chimney yang optimal dapat memberikan kinerja terbaik dari tungku. Studi eksperimental dilakukan dengan variasi ketinggian chimney. Uji pendidihan air sebagai metode standar digunakan untuk mendapatkan kinerja kompor untuk setiap variasi tinggi chimney. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja terbaik tungku didapatkan saat ketinggian chimney 1,65 cm, dengan efisiensi thermal sebesar 37,66%.

“…There is a large body of literature on energy access in rural areas, showing that the lack of modern energy services is a major obstacle to economic development (Cabraal, Barnes, and Agarwal, 2005;Bernard, 2010;Brass et al, 2012). While the stark reality is that developing countries are urbanizing faster than ever (Cohen, 2006;Montgomery, 2008), the literature on urban electrification problems in India and elsewhere is limited in scope.…”

Unreliable electricity supply is a major obstacle to economic development in countries such as India. While electricity problems in the rural areas are widely recognized, scholars have yet to analyze the situation in urban slums. Drawing on 2004-2005 survey data from the India Human Development Survey, we document the electricity situation in slums. We find that while households located in slums are less likely to have access to the electricity grid than other urban households, the situation is significantly better than in rural areas. Based on simulations, we find that a median household in a slum has 70% chance of having electricity. This number decreases to 50% for a household in a rural area and increases to 80% for households in urban areas. As to daily hours of electricity available for connected households, urban slums also fall between other urban and rural areas. Finally, we show that these conditions vary considerably by state. Slums located in states with low corruption and leftist governments have better electricity access on average than those in states suffering from corruption or that are ruled by rightist parties.
