“…Endogenous power has less impact on the economy. Zhang et al [14] also found that when the endowment or the regenerative capacities of water resources are low, the long-run sustainable growth cannot be achieved without sufficient impoundment activities. And the optimal levels of extractive water use and activities should be mated, and the progress in water technological levels is one of the most effective ways.…”

“…These theories were attractive due to their simplicity which typically included aggregate trend parameters to account for changes in all technologies, however, no mechanism explained how water technologies were developed and selected. Therefore, when addressing the problem of water resources scarcity, this framework was unable to answer how much water technological progress was needed to reduce water resources constraints and what water technological progress was needed to compensate for fading water resource inputs [14]. Given these conditions, it was necessary to introduce water technologies as an endogenous variable to theory of economic growth and thoroughly scrutinize the incentives.…”

Water technologies have become new solutions to water scarcity and could play an increasingly crucial role in the future. However, theoretic and empirical studies on the economic effect of water technologies which incorporate water resources into a sustainable economic growth model remain scarce in northwest China. This article attempts to build a water technology endogenous model based on "learning by doing" theory to identify the mechanisms of water technologies affect economic growth due to changing water consumption. Considering the case of Northwest China in this empirical research, we apply the stochastic production frontier model by using panel data from 1996 to 2017. The results shows that progress in water technologies has indeed increased GDP growth and the current level of water technologies is not a key factor in eliminating the constraints of water resources. In addition, water scarcity still constrains economic growth in Northwest China and progress in water science and technology is the main power of all water technologies. Finally, the speed of water science and technology slows as the amount of water consumption increase and the impact of water technical efficiency on economic growth depends on water institutions of different areas. This study may enhance the policy relevance of water technological governance and economic growth transformation, which were beneficial for informing policies towards sustainable water resource utilization in northwest China.

“…Recently, Poyang Lake has suffered from a severe water shortage due to the lack of rainfall and the pollution from the UR, MR, and LR in addition to the interactive decision to construct dams or reservoirs among the regions [28]. This also shows that the government of the sub-reaches have applied to the central government for the construction of dams or reservoirs to solve the water shortage problem [2]. At the same time, the high cost of building dams and reservoirs means that if there is no restriction from the central government, the upper and middle reaches may obtain the power to use natural resources jointly and exclusively, which has a negative impact on other regions.…”

Exploring the relationship between competition and cooperation in water resource exploitation by applying a game model is crucial for achieving stable equilibrium in the presence of environmental externalities. To explore this, we used the Poyang Lake Basin, which is divided into three overly exploited sub-regions, as an example. This paper selected the different types of sub-regions of Poyang Lake Basin as the research subjects, and then proposed a game model to study evolutionarily stable equilibrium strategies. The results are as follows: (1) the behavior of the sub-regions of Poyang Lake Basin are affected by one another and cannot achieve equilibrium through independent games, which also need external forces to coordinate the three reaches; (2) the benefits improve gradually from the state of “non-cooperation” to “full cooperation” and reach an ideal equilibrium when all the sub-regions choose the strategy of cooperation; (3) the strategic choice of sub-reaches is difficult to maximize the overall benefits of the basin in the absence of external constraints. To ensure that the sub-regions choose the cooperative strategy, the central government should support the cooperative subsidies of local governments. In addition to improving the equilibrium state of the sub-reaches, this study proposes the following policy implications: constructing a basin plan and promoting fiscal transfer payments, inducing an industrial gradient transfer, and strengthening the payment for the use of water resources.

“…Urbanization has greatly increased productivity but has also brought many problems such as environmental degradation and economic inequality to China. Industrial production takes up a large amount of land resources, which causes problems such as relatively low resource utilization efficiencies and environmental degradation [1,2]. There are also problems in the utilization of industrial land, such as irrational land use structure, idle land, deferred use and low utilization efficiency [3].…”

Research on the Enhancement Effects of Using Ecological Principles in Managing the Lifecycle of Industrial Land

This paper introduces a performance level concept for industrial land use. The performance level concept uses ecological principles to evaluate index systems for industrial land. We used this concept to integrate local economics, land use, development potential, environmental health and ecosystem management with innovation, harmony, floral preservation, and shared land use. The concept helps promote the efficient use of industrial land and the sustainable use of land resources. We used the chemical medicine manufacturing industry in Chongqing Changshou Economic and Technological Development Zone as a case study. We selected eight companies for analysis and calculated an industrial land performance level for each company. We created three industrial land performance levels: growth potential type, positive development type, and inefficient recession type. To determine economic development and land sustainability, we applied administrative, economic, legal and technical measures to evaluate the entire lifecycle of industrial land. This lifecycle included preliminary project audit access, mid-period dynamic supervision and post land exit management. We conclude by proposing measures to mitigate environmental harm occurring from the intensive use of land for industrial use.
