In this article, the authors proposed the concept of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) to assess the scale of economy and population that the local water resources can support, and the study took Tianjin city of China for an example, and its population size and economic scale were chosen as two main indices.Abstract:
Regional sustainable development is an important focus on natural resources management, and also is a critical requirement for socio-economic system’s sustainability. Water resource is one of the most important supports for the sustainable development of society and economy. The study proposed the concept of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) to assess the scale of economy and population that the local water resources can support. And the study took Tianjin city of China for an example, and its population size and economic scale were chosen as two main indices. Based on the historical statistical datum, the carrying index (CI) and index of water supply–demand balance (IWSD) were evaluated, and then the current WRCC in Tianjin city and its dynamic tendency were evaluated by means of the method of carrying capacity of relative resources (CCRR). The results showed that the utilization of water resources in Tianjin is inefficient for now, the dynamic trend would be partly rational after the protection policy of water resource was put into practice in 2010 and 2020, and the WRCC of Tianjin city went beyond the average WRCC of China and was roughly equal to that of Beijing city. This paper showed that the rational policies and measures should be established and implemented to make sure utilize water resources efficiently in Tianjin city.read more

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the current situation of water resource capacity in Lanzhou and its dynamic trend, and suggested that the system and model of developing and utilizing water resource, policy of using water, scientific policy of water price and paying policy of Water resource, saving water and protecting solution society, as well as protecting engineering related with water resource should be built up step by step.

Comprehensive evaluation and scenario simulation for the water resources carrying capacity in Xi'an city, China.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the socio-economic development of Xi'an is unsustainable and under a comprehensive scheme, theWRCC index will increase by 48% compared with the WRCC index under a business-as-usual scenario.

Water Resources Carrying Capacity Evaluation and Diagnosis Based on Set Pair Analysis and Improved the Entropy Weight Method.
TL;DR: To quantitatively evaluate and diagnose the carrying capacity of regional water resources under uncertain conditions, an index system and corresponding grade criteria were constructed from the perspective of carrying subsystem and an improved entropy weight method was used to determine the objective weight of the index.
