“…The study showed that high pollutant removal efficiency and a water storage system capable to meet irrigation needs are key factors in enabling water reuse. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model used to analyze a cascading water system showed that failing to link the quantity of reclaimed wastewater and the water consumption by economic agents in a collection system would cause an overestimation of available reclaimed wastewater (Luckmann et al, 2016).…”

A review of the literature published in 2016 on topics relating to water reclamation and reuse is summarized. The review is divided into the following sections: 1) General: monitoring and assessment, social awareness and acceptance, and energy and resources recovery; 2) Treatment technology: integrated technologies, membrane treatment, reactors, WSPs, disinfection, and others; 3) Planning and Management: modeling, LCA, GHG emission, and case studies. Much of the water treatment research focused on the integrated technologies and membrane treatment.

“…Three strategies of technological innovation for water use efficiency show promise for Vietnamese industrial zones (Agudelo‐Vera et al., 2012; Leusbrock et al., 2015; Levidow et al., 2016): (1) demand minimization through efficient “end‐of‐pipe” technologies (Ozturk et al., 2016); (2) “cascading” reclaimed water flows for low quality reuse (Agudelo‐Vera et al., 2012; Luckmann et al., 2016); and (3) multi‐sourcing from primary ground or surface water sources and secondary water sources such as rain water (Agudelo‐Vera et al., 2012; GhaffarianHoseini et al., 2016). These technologically driven strategies are linked to the wider principles of industrial ecology and symbiosis, aimed at enhancing circular resource flows in the processing and manufacturing sectors through cooperative strategies that enable by‐product exchange and utility sharing for resource efficiency (Jiao & Boons, 2017; Mol & Dieu, 2006; Spekkink, 2013).…”

This article uses an institutional capacity framework to assess the interplay between the macro level institutional environment in the form of the centralized Vietnamese state, and the meso level institutional capacity of three different industrial zones to develop technological water use efficiency strategies. Our results show that the relational, knowledge, and mobilization capacities of these industrial zones are constrained by the centralized nature of the Vietnamese state. These industrial zones also show a limited capacity to instigate reform of macro level regulatory institutions. However, we also find instances where industrial zones do demonstrate capacity for implementing water use efficiency technologies because of their capacity to coordinate relations with client firms, universities, and provincial industrial zone authorities. If the institutional capacities of industrial zones are better supported, we argue there remains room for them to influence the macro institutional context to support innovation in water use efficiency. Our results indicate the value of institutional capacity as a framework for assessing processes of technical innovation for industrial ecology, especially in the context of centralized states.

“…Nechifor and Winning (2019) explored the deviations in crop production and irrigation water requirements from a ‘no climate change’ socioeconomic development storyline. In addition, other water issues have been analysed using the CGE model, such as groundwater conservation (Diao et al, 2008), wastewater recycling (Luckmann et al, 2016), water allocation (Koopman et al, 2017) and the economic impacts of dams (Kahsay et al, 2019; Wittwer, 2009).…”

Sustaining environmental flows in water‐deficient rivers via inter‐basin hydropower transfer

In water-deficient rivers, environmental flows (e-flows) are usually sustained via interbasin water transfer projects from water-sufficient rivers, but these projects incur tremendous costs and may lead to many negative ecological effects, such as ecological invasion. This research proposed to transfer hydropower instead of water from watersufficient rivers, because hydropower could substitute for water to promote economic development and reduce water withdrawal from water-deficient rivers (conserved water). In addition, based on the analysis of eco-hydrological processes, the flow regime alteration plays an important role in restoring riverine ecosystem. With the goal of minimum flow regime alternation, we set up two scenarios to distribute the annual conserved water, and determined the optimal amount of transferred hydropower and the optimal use of conserved water, which could effectively sustain the e-flows. Accordingly, this paper established a computable general equilibrium model to analyse the substitution of hydropower for water in a water-deficient river basin, and determined the water withdrawal volume that could be reduced. We adopted a range-ofvariability approach to measure the degree of flow regime alteration, and optimized the flow regime management scheme. The Luanhe River Basin was adopted as a study case. The results showed that: the water-hydropower equivalent decreased as the transferred hydropower into the Luanhe River Basin increased; a transferred hydropower amount of 22.46 kWh/s, equivalent to 18.30 m 3 /s conserved water, was optimal for the river basin; the conserved water should be distributed to the Luanhe River in the proportions of 0.55:0.1:0.35 during the wet, normal and dry seasons, respectively, which is the optimal scheme to sustain the hydrological processes of the river.
