While many water utilities are currently using constant or falling per capita use in their baseline forecasts, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that per capita water use is currently increasing, and will continue to increase in the short and medium term. This paper examines the...
Analysis of potentially interconnected residential water and energy demand is sparse. In a 1-in-10 random sample of Singapore households living in apartments, water use per capita declines over the socioeconomic distribution, whereas electricity use rises. Here I show that in this leading Asian city...
To study the dynamic relationship between the China urbanization and water use efficiency, this paper intends to use the per capita water and water intensity as a measure of the efficiency of water use index, the existence of Kuznets curve between Chinese urbanization and Per capita water consumpti...
BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) -- The surface water resource use increased 1.6 times over the past 50 years in China, according to researchers. Researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reconstructed the runoff of 37 sub-basins from 12 bas...
Since 2016, both total water use and per capita water use are on the rise, but remain lower than before the 2014 drought. The percentage of the total BAWSCA water supply that is drawn from the Tuolumne system (~65%) remains relatively steady through the study period, and lower water ...
Since China has the largest population in the world, the available water resources per capita in China are very limited. With the rapid economic development that is currently occurring, the shortage of water resources at the national level has become extremely critical. How to solve the problems ...
A plot of GDP versus annual per capita water use in the BTH region and the six existing world-class megalopolises. It demonstrates a high correlation between the economic growth of the world-class megalopolises and the abundance of water resources. Full size image The Chinese government is prom...
Although this percentage is small, according to recent data from the European Water Association, domestic sector water use per capita was higher among the Mediterranean countries, Spain included. To change this situation, the Spanish Public Administration has run several awareness campaigns to promote ...
[37]; per capita water use, the volume of surface water, the quantity of groundwater used, and 9 other indicators were chosen to be included in the water use structure category (C) [38]; infrastructure investment, the building of recycled water facilities, and three other indicators were ...
Moreover, the economic development that generally goes along with urbanization increases per-capita water use, as new technologies such as showers, washing machines, and dishwashers increase residential use of water (McDonald et al., 2011a). The overall increase in total municipal water demand ...
