Regional Water Resource Utilization Evaluation and Influential Factors Analyses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Water resource, as a kind of important economic and natural resource, plays a vital role in sustainable development of society. Currently, global water resources situation is increasingly severe, especially in China. The water resource distribution in China is uneven with low efficiency and pollution problem. Based on a full analysis of research actuality in China and abroad, this article explores water use efficiency and input redundancy of 31 provincial regions in China for the year of 2011. Reasonable indexes are chosen to evaluate the efficiency based on advanced DEA for helping establishing future policies.
