A novel coupling cloud decision-making framework for investigating population-economy-water consumption nexus in the Inner Mongolia reaches of the Yellow River, China

Yi Liu et al.

Summary: Investigating the interaction of population-economy-water consumption (PEW) is important for promoting regional high-quality development. This study proposed a coupling cloud integration algorithm (CCIA) and a decision-making framework combining CCIA and TOPSIS model to determine the coupling coordination level of PEW. The study area, Inner Mongolia reaches of the Yellow River (IMYR), showed an evolving PEW nexus from seriously uncoordinated development to barely coordinated development.

Spatiotemporal changes of agricultural water footprint and its driving factors using the ARDL model in the Hexi corridor, China

Jun Zhang et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the agricultural water footprint (AWF) and its spatiotemporal characteristics in the Hexi corridor, Northwest of China from 2002 to 2017 using the water footprint theory. The AWF increased during the study period, with a rapid increase in the water footprint of cash crops and a slower and stable increase in the water footprint of grain production. There were significant differences in the water footprint of agricultural products among the counties in the Hexi corridor. The study also explored the relationship between AWF and GDP, population, grain yield, fertilization, and urbanization rate, and found that economic growth, grain yield, and fertilization had a significant positive relationship with AWF.

Performance analyses of effective rainfall estimation methods for accurate quantification of agricultural water footprint

Abdullah Muratoglu et al.

Summary: Water footprint assessments have become an important tool for sustainable management. However, there is a lack of experimental validation for the models used to estimate effective rainfall. This study tested the performance of commonly used models and found that CROPWAT and US-BR methods performed the best, while the FAO-AGLW method had the lowest performance.

Factors affecting crop production water footprint: A review and meta-analysis

Qian Wang et al.

Summary: Climate change and human activities pose significant threats to crop productivity and water stress in agriculture. Water footprint, a quantitative indicator, provides new insights for assessing water use in agriculture. This study examined the comprehensive correlation coefficients between various factors and the water footprint of crop production (CWF), identifying the key factors influencing CWF in different regions and potential strategies for reducing it. These findings contribute to the scientific management of water use in agriculture worldwide.

China's dietary changes would increase agricultural blue and green water footprint

Licheng Liu et al.

Summary: Agriculture in China accounts for 61% of fresh water consumption. The impact of population change on water footprint is insignificant, while changes in dietary structure have a significant effect. The main driving force behind changes in the water footprint is the change in dietary structure, which increases the blue and green water footprint and shifts the main contributing sectors. Thus, a greater focus should be placed on threats and pressures to water resources when considering population and dietary changes.

Exploring the changes and driving forces of water footprint in Central Asia: A global trade assessment

Yanan Hu et al.

Summary: This study used a multi-region input-output model and the STIRPAT technique to quantify the water footprint in Central Asia and study its driving forces. The results showed a sharp increase in both production and consumption-based water footprints in Central Asia, with water-intensive agriculture being the dominant sector. Import and export water footprints in Central Asia also increased, with international trade exacerbating the water crisis. Urbanization was found to have a significant positive effect on water footprint changes.

Inter-regional ecological compensation in the Yellow River Basin based on the value of ecosystem services

Zixuan Zhou et al.

Summary: This study assesses the value of ecosystem services in the Yellow River Basin by evaluating land-use changes from 2010 to 2020. The findings show that the total value of ecosystem services increased during this period and grasslands had the highest value. The priority of ecological compensation is positively correlated with the value of ecosystem services and negatively correlated with the economic development level.

Patterns and driving forces of the agricultural water footprint of Chinese cities

Jieping Cai et al.

Summary: This paper examines the patterns and determinants of different types of agricultural water footprints in China at the prefecture-city level. The results show that the annual average agricultural water footprint in China is 5.038 x 10(9) m(3), and the primary determinants vary across water footprint categories and regions. These findings suggest the incorporation of agricultural water footprints into city water resource management and monitoring system.

Summary: Energy security, food security, and water security are the three most prominent problems in human survival and sustainable development. This study uses quantitative analysis to estimate the Central China region's energy-food production water footprint (WF) and virtual trade water flow, and proposes a Modified Water Stress Index (MWSI) associated with virtual water outflows. The results indicate that the energy and food production WF and virtual trade water flow are on the rise, causing water stress in local and export areas.

Income impacts on household consumption's grey water footprint in China

Xiawei Liao et al.

Summary: Urbanization in China has led to significant changes in household consumption patterns, resulting in a notable increase in greywater footprint for urban households while a slight decrease for rural households. The study also highlights the significant impact of total Nitrogen on GWF and how food consumption dominates GWF for household consumption. Meanwhile, the study shows that urban households on average require higher GWF for consumption compared to rural households, with variations depending on income levels.
