    Abstract:
    To promote the high-quality development of water conservancy in the new stage and drive the profound transformation of the industry through new quality productive forces in water conservancy,this paper analyzes the historical inevitability of the development of new quality productive forces in water conservancy based on summarizing the five stages of the evolution of productive forces. It clarifies the scientific connotation of new quality productive forces in water conservancy, proposing that new quality productive forces in water conservancy exhibit four core features: innovation-driven, high-quality, digitalized, and green-oriented. The paper further elucidates the new qualities of labor, means of labor, and objects of labor of the new quality productive forces in water conservancy. Finally, the cultivation paths of new quality productive forces in water conservancy are proposed,including optimizing the construction of water conservancy talent team to enhance the comprehensive quality of laborers, promoting the construction of water conservancy technology industry to accelerate the innovation of labor materials, vigorously enhancing water conservancy innovation capabilities to digitalize labor objects, and strengthening the rigid constraints of water resources to optimize the combination of labor, means of labor, and objects of labor.

    Abstract:
    Developing new quality productive forces in water conservancy is an intrinsic requirement and an important point of leverage for promoting high-quality development. A systematic exposition of the theoretical foundations, practical imperatives, and strategic pathways for cultivating new quality productive forces with system thinking is indispensable for deepening conceptual understanding and guiding praxis. As the fundamental guideline and action programme for cultivating new, high-quality productive forces in water-resource development, the water-management principle of “prioritizing water conservation, maintaining spatial equilibrium, adopting systematic governance, and leveraging both state and market forces” embodies historical materialist dialectics and the traditional Chinese holistic-systemic worldview, thereby possessing a profound systemic-philosophical foundation. Among its four pillars, “systematic governance” constitutes the methodological imperative that must be rigorously observed. Adhering to a systemic mode of thinking in the development of new-quality productive forces in water governance is not only an objective imperative for counteracting the systemic risks induced by contemporary water-related challenges, but also an intrinsic developmental requirement of these productive forces themselves, which constitute an “open complex giant system.” This necessity can be concretely analyzed along three systemic dimensions: constituent elements, structural configuration, and functional performance. Concretely, core elements—government, market, and technology—must be orchestrated in a coordinated manner. First, the water governance regime should be systematically optimized by redefining and reconfiguring governmental roles, thereby furnishing fundamental institutional guarantees for the emergence of new quality productive forces in water conservancy. Second, market-oriented reforms across the water domain must be comprehensively advanced, integrating market mechanisms and governmental functions more effectively to foster the agglomeration of advanced factors of production. Third, the entire innovation chain—encompassing water-related scientific research, technological translation, and large-scale application—should be holistically managed, so as to unleash sustained and dynamic drivers of development.

    Abstract:
    Water budget management represents a significant institutional innovation in the field of integrated water resources management. Given the current lack of clear and unified understanding of the conceptual connotation of water budget management, this paper, from the perspective of financial budget management in accounting, studies the processes, techniques, and tools of financial budget management, identifies the commonalities and differences between financial budget management and water budget management, explores the feasibility and specific pathways for migrating the principles and methods of financial budget management to water budget management, thereby providing a theoretical basis for water budget management. It is recommended to construct a water budget management framework based on the mature structure and methods of financial budget management, incorporating the specificities of water resources management. This framework follows a “top-level coordination and secondary-level implementation” approach, explores the water budget management process, and improves its implementation plans.

    Abstract:
    For ecologically sensitive regions such as the Yellow River Basin, studying the positive role of these regions in promoting ecological protection during the process of advancing high-quality development and the underlying mechanisms holds profound strategic significance and practical value. Taking the panel data of nine provincial-level regions in the Yellow River Basin from 2011 to 2022 as the research sample, this paper constructs an evaluation index system for ecological protection and high-quality development. The entropy weight method and the weighting method of additivity are employed to measure the ecological protection index and high-quality development level of the nine provincial-level regions. Four variables, including ecological water use, cultivated land area, urbanization, and informatization, are selected as control variables, and a fixed-effect model is used to examine the overall impact of high-quality development on ecological protection. To further explore its influence mechanism, considering the influencing factors of ecological protection and high-quality development, this paper introduces human capital as a mediating variable and environmental regulation as a moderating variable to conduct mediating effect and moderating effect tests. The results show that high-quality development has a significant promoting effect on ecological protection; human capital has a mediating role in the process of high-quality development affecting ecological protection; and environmental regulation exerts a positive moderating effect on the promoting effect of high-quality development on ecological protection.

    Abstract:
    To promote the construction of “happy rivers and lakes” against the background of high-quality development, this paper analyzes its core connotation, uses the output-oriented three-stage DEA model to construct an evaluation system for river and lake governance efficiency, and studies the comprehensive efficiency of the first batch of “happy rivers and lakes” pilot provinces. The results show that the efficiency of river and lake governance is affected by the external environment, internal management, and technological levels. The efficiency of input resource utilization was positively correlated with the area of the water area and negatively correlated with the regional GDP. Input redundancy is the main bottleneck restricting the improvement of governance efficiency. To improve the efficiency of river and lake governance, this paper proposes optimizing resource allocation from the input perspectives of capital, technology, and personnel, aiming to propel China’s “happy rivers and lakes” initiative into Phase 3.0.

    Abstract:
    The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a fundamental project to optimize water resource allocation and promote coordinated regional development. Based on the theory of new structural economics, this paper, from the perspective of the endowment structure of the given water-receiving counties, proposes an analytical framework for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to promote the high-quality development of the counties in the water-receiving areas and analyses how the South-to-North Water Diversion Project should be integrated with the industrial development of the water-receiving counties to promote the high-quality development these counties through five steps of sorting out the endowment structure, analyzing the current development status, identifying industries with comparative advantages, pinpointing development bottlenecks, and playing the role of an active government. Using Linqing City as a case study, this paper elaborates on the application of the five-step method. This paper demonstrates how Linqing should formulate development strategies based on its local conditions and endowment structure to achieve high-quality development under the active government.

    Abstract:
    With the transformation of water resources management from an“extensive” to a “refined” approach, the traditional administrative-led water conservation model is no longer able to meet the practical needs of efficient use of water resources. Therefore,it is urgent to explore new market-oriented water conservation mechanisms.Contract-based water conservation, as one of the important measures to solve the micro dilemma of traditional water conservation by using the “hand of the market”, can significantly improve the efficiency of water resource utilization by introducing professional services and social capital. Due to the late start of contract water conservation practice in China and the exploration stage, its large-scale promotion still faces problems such as low willingness of water users to participate, weak technological innovation capabilities of water-saving service enterprises, and insufficient coordination of government policies. To solve the dilemma of promoting contract-based water conservation, from the perspective of value co-creation, this paper uses grounded theory to conduct a comparative analysisof typical contract-based water conservation cases, deconstructs the evolution mechanism of its value co-creation behavior logic, and then forms a feasiblepromotion path for contract-based water conservation.The results show that from the perspective of water-saving valueco-creation, the endogenous driving force of the market should be stimulated in the new era from three aspects: integration of policy traction and demand, multi-subject collaborative linkage, and an innovative contract-based conservation model, thus promoting the implementation of contract-based waterconservation projectsand realizing the construction of a water-saving society.

    Abstract:
    To explore the influence and mechanism of social trust and personal constraints on farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology, the study uses 1 250 field survey data to analyze the impact of social trust and personal constraints on farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology by constructing a binary Logit model and verifies whether there is a complementary effect between social trust and personal constraints. The study found that, system trust and interpersonal trust used to characterize social trust have a significant positive effect on farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology. The marginal effect of personal constraints on farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology is decreasing, and for each unit of personal constraints, farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology decreases by 0.064 units. There is a certain complementary effect between social trust and personal constraints. In addition, the gender of farmers,the number of family farmers and farmers’ responsibilities play an important role in promoting farmers’ adoption of water-saving irrigation technology.

    Abstract:
    To optimize the market bidding strategy of pumped storage power stations, this study, considering China’s electricity market policies and development needs, establishes a market mechanism for pumped storage power stations to participate in the joint spot market. With the objective of maximizing the total revenue of pumped storage power stations in the joint spot market, a bi-level bidding strategy model is developed. The model is solved using an adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm in combination with YALMIP and CPLEX software. Based on case simulations, this study analyzes the bidding strategies and decision-making processes of participants in the joint spot market, thereby validating the effectiveness of the model. The results show that the revenue of pumped storage power stations participating in the joint spot market is significantly higher than that from participating only in the energy market, with the ancillary services market contributing more than 70% of the total revenue, substantially enhancing the economic benefits of pumped storage power stations in the integrated spot market.

    Abstract:
    Since the implementation of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of the Yangtze River , China has continuously strengthened the construction of judicial protection in the Yangtze River Basin and implemented a series of routine measures. As a result, the ecological protection in the Yangtze River Basin has entered a new stage of governing and protecting the river in accordance with the law. To promote justice to play a key role in modernizing the environmental governance system and governance capacity of the Yangtze River Basin, it is particularly important to explore the problems in the routine judicial protection measures of the ecological environment in the Yangtze River Basin from the perspectives of the concept of judicial protection in the basin, the judicial collaboration mechanism, and the judicial trial practice. Corresponding countermeasures are proposed as follows. First, ecological protection in the basin must be based on the concept of systematic and green development, and a collaborative development mechanism across administrative divisions should be established through the development of a cross-basin judicial collaboration system. Second, a collaborative communication mechanism within the judicial system should be built through the creation of a judicial information-sharing platform, thus opening internal and external feedback channels of judicial protection. Third, we should fully implement the interpretation of ecological and environmental cases in the Yangtze River basin, enhance the effectiveness of judicial trials on ecological and environmental issues, and promote the formation of judicial synergy for the protection of the Yangtze River.

    Abstract:
    The transboundary water resources development may cause significant environmental damage, so it is necessary to introduce transboundary environmental impact assessment systems. In the absence of a universal multilateral treaty on transboundary environmental impact assessment at the global level,as a regional multilateral treaty on transboundary environmental impact assessment,the Espoo Conventionprovidesreferences for environmental impact assessment systems in many countries and influences many normative instruments such as other international agreements related to environmental protection and public participation.The regulatory objects of environmental impact assessment for transboundary water resources development cover global practices, with progressively enriched content and partial remediation ofregulatory deficiencies. The legal connotation of the obligation of environmental impact assessment for transboundary water resources development includes the national obligation to ensure, the duty of care, the procedural obligation, and the continuing obligation. In line with these four obligations, in the planning, review, approval, implementation, and supervision of water resources development projects, capacity building should be strengthened to ensure compliance, behavior orientation should be strengthened to ensure good faith performance, goal orientation should be strengthened to ensure practical performance, and process orientation should be strengthened to ensure consistent performance. China should effectively fulfill its environmental impact assessment obligations in accordance with its national conditions.

    Abstract:
    Water conservancy scenic spots have multiple functions, and play an important role in maintaining the safety of water conservancy projects, conserving water sources, protecting ecology, improving the living environment, expanding the business scope of water management units, and even stimulating regional economic and cultural development. Based on the grounded theory, six scenic spots, such as Tanglai Sluice Water Conservancy Scenic Spot, Mingcui Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Spot, and Sand Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Spot, were selected as samples. By integrating questionnaire survey and interview survey, an analysis was conducted on the development status and existing problems of typical water conservancy scenic spots in the upper reaches of the Yellow River from four aspects: scenic spot management, ecological protection, water culture development, and comprehensive benefits. Combined with theories such as human resource management theory and industrial chain theory, this paper proposed corresponding improvement strategies. Results show that sample scenic spots in the upper reaches of the Yellow River generally face problems such as an imbalanced professional structure of personnel and weak publicity. The development of public welfare-oriented scenic spots still faces problems such as insufficient management personnel and a lack of special funding support for operation. The development of operation-oriented scenic spots presents difficulties such as a lack of special funds for public welfare maintenance, serious personnel turnover, insufficient water culture construction, and short industrial chains. The proposed countermeasures include strengthening the development of management and operational personnel, improving investment and financing mechanisms for management and operations, enhancing the publicity and promotion of water conservancy scenic areas, diversifying water culture initiatives, and expanding the industrial chain of water conservancy scenic areas through multiple approaches.

    Abstract:
    With the development of eco-cultural tourism in water conservancy scenic spots, how to promote the strategic coordination of the main bodies of eco-cultural tourism in water conservancy scenic spots has become the focus of research and work, but existing research has not revealed its influencing factors and promotion paths. Based on the grounded theory, this paper takes four national water conservancy scenic spots as examples and analyzes the sample data through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. This paper summarizes relevant concepts and categories, and explores the theoretical connotations of various elements and their impacts on the synergy of eco-cultural tourism strategies. From the perspective of value co-creation, the influencing factor model of the synergy of eco-cultural tourism strategies in water conservancy scenic spots was constructed. The results show that the collaborative participation cognition, composed of ecological cognition, responsibility cognition, and behavioral effect perception, can directly promote the strategic coordination of main bodies of eco-cultural tourism in water conservancy scenic spots. Value co-creation environment elements such as policy incentives, infrastructure support, and competitive environment, value co-creation capability elements such as absorptive capacity, redundant resources, and organizational formalization, as well as value-sharing relationship elements such as trust, collaboration mechanism, and contract governance have situational effects, which can strengthen the positive effect of collaborative participation cognition on the synergy of eco-cultural tourism strategies.

    Abstract:
    The water conservancy spirit in the new era is “loyalty, integrity, responsibility, science, pragmatism, and innovation”, which points out the direction and puts forward requirements for the construction of the counselor team in water conservancy colleges. Integrating the water conservancy spirit in the new era into the construction of the counselor team is significant for promoting the professional development of counselors in water conservancy colleges. This paper discusses the construction paths of the counselor team in water conservancy colleges against the background of water conservancy spirit in the new era, and analyzes the triple structural contradictions in the current construction of the counselor team in water conservancy colleges, namely, the lack of systematic top-level design, the cognitive deviation of water conservancy spirit, and the supply-demand imbalance of ability structure. This paper explores the construction paths of the deep coupling between water conservancy spirit in the new era and the construction of the counselor team from three aspects: the transformation of “loyalty” at the policy guidance level, the reconstruction of “responsibility” at the cognitive bias level, and the embedding of “innovation” at the capacity improvement level. Water conservancy colleges must improve policy safeguards, refine evaluation mechanisms, optimize the composition of the faculty, and actively reshape working mindsets. It is essential to clearly define the role of counselors, intensify training and learning initiatives, enhance professional competencies, and strengthen core qualities. By doing so, a counselor team can be established, characterized by political steadfastness, high professional proficiency, and exemplary work styles. This will provide a robust foundation for cultivating high-quality talents and facilitating the growth of students in water conservancy colleges.

        Abstract:
        Based on the theory of virtual water trade, the status of the virtual water trade of agricultural product between China and the countries along “Belt and Road” during the period from 2007 to 2016 is analyzed. The relevant influencing factors are analyzed by using the extended gravity model. The results show that from 2007 to 2016, the virtual water volume of agricultural products trade between China and the countries along “Belt and Road” is a deficit, and the average annual net import volume is 11. 789 billion m3. Among the influencing factors for the virtual water trade of agricultural products between China and the countries along “Belt and Road”, the most significant positive driving factors are infrastructure construction, exchange rate level, entry to WTO and regional integration process, and the most important reverse ones are geographic distance and tariff level. China has the positive advantages of agricultural labor.

        Abstract:
        From the demand of balance sheet compilation and asset management of water resources, the limitation of the current balance sheet compilation of water resources is discussed by regarding the regions as the subject. On this basis, according to the water administrative system in China, from the three levels of state(water conservancy project management departments, rivers and river basins), regions and enterprises, the multiple subjects of balance sheet compilation of water resources are studied. The roles of different subjects in compiling balance sheet of water resources are analyzed from the aspects of reflecting the development and management objectives of water resource assets, revealing the relationship between supply and demand of water resource assets, improving the level of water resource assets, and making decision of regional future industrial planning and development. This study is conducive to further promoting the preparation of the balance sheet of water resources, meeting the needs of improving the management level of water resource assets, improving the national economic accounting system, introducing the outgoing audit of natural resource assets of leading cadres and ecological civilization construction.

        Abstract:
        Based on the LMDI method of aggregate of the sum of polynomial multiplication and vector form, the decomposition framework of population-residential consumption-water intensity in the process of urbanization is established, and the factors influencing the water consumption from 2003 to 2016 are analyzed. The research shows that expansion and urbanization of population positively promote the growth of water consumption, and the effect of the former is stronger than that of the latter. The improvement of residents' consumption level is the absolute leading factor driving the growth of water consumption. The optimization and upgrading of residential consumption structure and the increase of residential consumption rate can effectively suppress the consumption of water resources, and the effect of the former is more significant. The decline in water consumption is mainly due to the advancement of industrial technology. The growth of households' water consumption mainly comes from the effect of water intensity of life. It is further pointed out that we should reasonably control the size and movement of population, accelerate the optimization and upgrading of residents' consumption structure, focus on strengthening the innovation of industrial technology, deepen the potential of agricultural water-saving efficiency, and enhance residential consumption rate to achieve relative water saving under the given economic scale.

        Abstract:
        By analyzing the process of agricultural water price reform in China, the stakeholders involved in the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price are divided into four categories of influencers, bearers, implementers of agricultural water price and managers of farmland water conservancy facilities based on the stakeholder theory. Their powers and interests are analyzed to clarify the intrinsic relationship among the stakeholders in the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price. It is pug forward that the influencers of agricultural water price will help to improve the bearers' cooperation by improving the reform environment. The cooperation between them will help to optimize the interests of both parties. The operational efficiency of implementers of agricultural water price and managers of farmland water conservancy has an important regulatory effect on the interests of influencers and bearers of agricultural water price, but the operational efficiency requires a certain amount of financial support. Finally, some reasonable suggestions for the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price in China are given.

        Abstract:
        In order to explore its application benefits, an evaluation index system for the application benefit of BIM in hydraulic engineering is established from the perspectives of economy, resources and energy, technology and management on the basis of literature reading. Firstly, using the SEM idea, a questionnaire survey is used to conduct the confirmatory factor analysis of the evaluation system, and thus the index weights are obtained accordingly. Secondly, an evaluation model for the application benefits of BIM in hydraulic engineering is established by using the cloud matter-element theory. Finally, a case study of a water conservancy project in Guangxi Province is carried out. The results show that the level of application benefits of BIM is Grade 3 with good benefits. Accordingly, the relevant suggestions are put forward to promote the further development of BIM in hydraulic engineering.

        Abstract:
        Based on the provincial panel data of the mainland China from 2000 to 2015, a threshold model is established to explore the relationship among industrial structure, technological progress and industrial wastewater discharge. The results show that: The influences of characteristics of the industrial structure on the industrial wastewater discharge are restricted by the double threshold effects of the technological progress, and when the technological progress is higher than the second threshold, the increase of the industrial economic proportion is no longer dependent on a greater increase in the industrial wastewater discharge. As a threshold variable, the technological progress in different regions of China has significant differences. The technological progress in the eastern, central and western regions has a decrease trend. The other influencing factors such as population size, output level and opening degree all play significant positive roles in promoting the industrial wastewater discharge, while the technological progress inhibits the industrial wastewater discharge. On this basis, some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward so as to reduce the level of regional industrial wastewater discharge and realize the goal of green development of industrial economy: improving the scientific and technological innovation system, increasing the investment in scientific and technological research and development, and constructing the compensation mechanism of trans-regional ecological technology.
        Abstract:
        The remaining 30 provinces of China except Tibet are divided into three parts, east, middle and west based on the SBM model and the ML index. The static and dynamic changes of green efficiency of water resources are analyzed, and the Theil index is used to analyze the spatial distribution differences of green efficiency of utilization of water resources among various provinces. The results show that: (1)The green efficiency of utilization of water resources in China varies from province to province, indicating a slow rising trend. The green efficiency of utilization of water resources in different regions shows a pattern of in the east>middle>west. (2)The technological progress index is the main factor affecting the efficiency of water resource. (3)The difference in green efficiency of utilization of water resources among various regions is much higher than that within the regions, and the eastern part has the largest contribution rate.
        Abstract:
        The construction and management of national water parks is an important part of realizing water ecological civilization and beautiful China. The protection of national water parks requires an assessment of their non-market economic values(use values and non-use values). Based on the single-bound and double-bound dichotomous contingent valuation method techniques, the use values and non-use values of Yimenghu National Water Park are quantitatively evaluated. Four econometric models containing logistic, log-logistic, normal and log-normal are applied through questionnaire data. The results showed that: (1)The Yimenghu National Water Park is of high use values and non-use values. (2)The evaluated results of log-logistic and log-normal econometric models are more reliable in the double-bound dichotomous CVM technique. (3)The respondents are willing to participate in protection in the form of donations to non-profit organizations. The assessment achievements are helpful for the cost-benefit analysis of the protection and sustainable management policies of water parks.

        Abstract:
        Based on the SBM-DEA model with effective efficiency frontier(optimistic)and inefficiency frontier(pessimistic), the agricultural water use efficiency of China's 31 provinces(municipalities and autonomous regions)from 2003 to 2017 is evaluated, and the Tobit model is used to analyze its influencing factors. The results show that the optimistic efficiency of China's agricultural water use has a small increase trend, and the pessimistic efficiency exhibits a decrease-increase-decrease-increase trend. The overall efficiency is not high. The difference in water use efficiency between different agricultural water zones is small. The high agricultural water use area has the highest agricultural water use efficiency, the middle agricultural water use area has the middle agricultural water use efficiency, and the low agricultural water use area has the lowest agricultural water use efficiency. The proportion of the value added of the primary industry in the regional GDP, the water-saving irrigation technology and the total storage capacity of reservoirs significantly positively correlate with the agricultural water use efficiency. While the endowment of water resources and regional education level significantly negatively correlate with the agricultural water use efficiency.
        Abstract:
        Based on the mechanism of environmental regulation on the transformation of manufacturing industry under the innovation-driven background, the intermediary effect of innovation on the relationship between environmental regulation and manufacturing industry transformation is empirically studied using the panel data of 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2005 to 2016. The results show that the effect of environmental regulation on the transformation of manufacturing industry has a double threshold effect under the innovation-driven background. In different ranges of innovation-driven background, the effect of environmental regulation on transformation of manufacturing industry has different directions and degrees. Therefore, attention should be paid to the synergy of innovation-driven background and environmental regulation, and the environmental regulation policies should be formulated according to local conditions. Simultaneously, the following measures should be taken to realize the transformation of manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt: rational allocation of fixed assets, increase of investment in education, guidance for the direction of financial expenditure, strict examination of the threshold of foreign investment access, and introduction of advanced technology.

        Abstract:
        Based on the establishment of trans-logarithmic production function of agriculture which includes investment in farmland water conservancy, the stochastic frontier approach is used to calculate the total factor productivity of agriculture in 31 provinces(municipalities and autonomous regions)of China from 1996 to 2015. The spatial characteristics of the total factor productivity of agriculture and the influences of investment in farmland water conservancy are analyzed. The results show that the growth of the total factor productivity in China generally has an increasing trend. The horizontal and vertical analyses shows that the growth has regional property and regional agglomeration. The influences of investment in farmland water conservancy infrastructure on the total factor productivity of agriculture are positive, and they have weak spillover effect. Among them, the direct, indirect and total effects are 0. 2865, 0. 0574 and 0. 3439, respectively.

        Abstract:
        The water resources are the important natural resources to maintain human life and social development. The balance sheet of water resources is an important component of the balance sheet of the natural resources. The compilation of the balance sheet of water resources is conducive to timely grasping the dynamic change of occupancy, use, consumption, recovery and value-added of water resource assets in economic and social development. A framework for accounting the balance sheet of water resources is established based on the concepts of assets and liabilities of water resources. It is of great significance to the compilation of balance sheet of water resources in a watershed.

        Abstract:
        Taking Suzhou City and Suqian City as examples, the dynamic changes and obstacles of the carrying capacity of the transfer and receiving regions of water environment during the industrial transfer process are discussed based on the TOPSIS method of Vague sets so as to provide theoretical guidance. The study shows that with the advancement of industrial transfer, the carrying capacities of water environment in Suzhou City and Suqian City have an increasing trend and have achieved a win-win relationship. Although the overall carrying capacity of water environment in Suzhou Sity is higher than that of Suqian City, the increase rate is significantly smaller. In terms of the obstacles, the main obstacles in Suzhou City are concentrated in the resource subsystem and environmental subsystem, while those in Suqian City are concentrated in the economic subsystem and resource subsystem, which need to be optimized and improved.
        Abstract:
        In the background of the protection of Yangtze River, realizing high-efficient development of green ecology should be taken as part of the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Therefore, focusing on the evaluation and improvement of hydropower energy efficiency in Yangtze River and comprehensively considering social, economic and environmental factors, an input-output index system is established. Based on the hydropower-related panel data of the various provinces along Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2017, the DEA method is used to evaluate the hydropower energy efficiency of each region. The results show that the hydropower energy efficiency of Yangtze River Economic Belt is at high level as a whole, and Jiangsu Province and Hubei Province are the “benchmarking” regions. The index efficient score of the urban agglomeration in the middle and upper reaches of Yangtze River is generally high. Different provinces have different energy efficiency improvement directions, that is, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province should reduce the investment in human capital, while Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province should increase the equipment utilization hours of the installed hydropower, and Chongqing Municipality and Guizhou Province firstly should develop local economy with high quality and improve the rate of return of the fixed asset investment. Some suggestions are put forward: development of hydropower with high quality, rigid constraint of water resources, establishment of green hydropower certification system, improvement of investment subsidy system, optimization of the balance between supply and demand, and training of high-level talents.
        Abstract:
        The fairness of water utilization in Hubei Province is analyzed from the three aspects of water resource endowment, water for production and domestic water. The Gini coefficients of total water consumption-water resource quantity, production water consumption-GDP, and domestic water consumption-population in Hubei Province in the spatial and temporal dimension are calculated. The results show that the total water consumption and water resource quantity of various cities in Hubei Province are very unevenly distributed, while the changes in the same area during 2006—2016 are uneven only in Xiaogan City and Suizhou City. During the 11 years of the research period, the fairness of water for production remains stable in the range of “relatively reasonable”, while in Wuhan City and Xiantao City with higher water efficiency, it is uneven. Therefore, to improve the water efficiency in the other regions is the best way to improve the fairness of water for production. The domestic water has reached the absolute fairness in both spatial and temporal dimensions.
        Abstract:
        Based on the dynamic panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2001 to 2016, the deepening level of financial capital is measured from the scale and structure of capital supply. The quality of economic development is measured by using the five dimensions of effectiveness, stability, coordination, sustainability and sharing of economic growth. The influences of deepening the financial capital on the quality of economic growth are investigated by means of the estimation method of system GMM model. The results show that the current scale of capital supply has inhibitory effects on the quality of economic growth. The deepening of bank capital and insurance capital has positive effects on the quality of economic growth. The deepening of security capital has no significant effects on the quality of economic growth. There are regional differences in the effects of deepening financial capital on the quality of economic growth.

        Abstract:
        Based on the panel data of 9 provinces and 2 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2017, the decoupling-PVAR two-stage model is used to analyze the evolution trend and impact mechanism of the relationship among new urbanization, upgradation of industrial structure and water pollution. This study shows that: The relationship among water pollution, new urbanization, and industrial structure exhibits the evolutionary trend of “expansion negative decoupling-strong decoupling”, indicating that the urbanization and industrialization of the Yangtze River Economic Belt have experienced “pollution first, then governance” at this stage, but ultimately achieved the dual goals of economic development and water pollution improvement. The results of impulse response and variance decomposition indicate that the water pollution control effect of new urbanization at this stage is not obvious, there is a clear negative relationship between water pollution and upgradation of industrial structure, and the former has a stronger explanatory effect on the latter. The variances of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt are decomposed, respectively, and it is found that there are obvious regional differences in the degree of mutual influences between the variables. The prevention and control policies for water pollution should be formulated according to specific situations.
        Abstract:
        The degrees of human-water harmony in 31 provinces of China from 2007 to 2016 are evaluated, and the DEA model is used to calculate the total factor utilization efficiency of water resources. The Tobit model is employed to investigate the effect of utilization efficiency of water resources on human-water harmony. The empirical results show that in recent years, the degrees of human-water harmony and the utilization efficiency of water resources in China have an increasing trend. Both the intensity control policy and the total control policy have effectively improved the degrees of human-water harmony in China, and the combined intensity-total control policy has a better efficiency. The improvement of utilization efficiency of water resources promotes the degrees of human-water harmony in the central and western regions, but not in the eastern regions. This is due to the differences in the development level, technological progress and natural environment between the eastern and central and western regions. Finally, the corresponding policy recommendations are put forward.

        Abstract:
        The PPP water conservancy project is of long project cycle, large investment and high risk characteristics. Based on the idea of fuzzy mathematics, the evaluation model for option of PPP water conservancy projects is established under fuzzy condition, and the fuzzy option value of projects under staged construction and the change of the whole project value under fuzzy decision-making condition are quantitatively evaluated. Combined with case analysis, the key influence factors of the fuzzy option value are found, and it is emphasized that the implementation of PPP water conservancy projects should focus on the management of cash flow value. The results will help the government and social capital to fully understand the project value, and actively participate in the implementation of projects and reasonably response to potential uncertain factors.

        Abstract:
        According to the input-output tables of Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area in 2002, 2007 and 2012, using the social network analysis its industrial linkage network is formulated from the perspective of water resource input-output. The relevant indices such as characteristic path length, clustering coefficient, centrality and cohesive subgroup are calculated, and the industrial linkages in the total Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area and various provinces and city are compared and analyzed. The results show that there is a small-world property and high network density with close industrial linkage. The chemical industry representing the industrial sector is of outstanding centrality and is the central industry in the area, and the status of service sector has increased, but the disproportion is even more prominent. Now eight cohesive subgroups are formed, and the linkage between their industrial sectors, which indicates the trend of development is clustering. Some suggestions are put forward in order to promote the balanced and sustainable development under water resource constraints, such as saving and using water intensively on central industry, improving the utilization of water resources, formulating different policies on water resources and promoting industry integration.
