The Relationship between Industrial Water Consumption and Economic Development - the Strictest Water Resources Management System

摘要

In this paper, it was based on the inter provincial panel data during the period from 2005 year to 2014 year. And it divided the 31 provinces into the East, the Middle and the West. Then this paper explored the Environment Kurtz Curve (EKC) between economic development and water use of each industrial area and discussed the optimal threshold. The results of this study show that: industrial water and economic development in the East, the Middle and the West regions was inverted "U" type; the corresponding per capita GDP of industrial water consumption per capita were 23644 RMB, 21549 RMB and 24433 RMB. The Strictest Water Resources Management System directly promoted the appearance of EKC inflection point in the East, the Middle and the West regions, as well as across the country. And it can achieve the "Double -Win" include industrial water consumption reduce and economic growth. The above results provide a theoretical and scientific support for the correct understanding of the changing law of water use and the effectively adjust the proportion of industrial water consumption and economic development.
