Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to propose an integrated framework to assess policy options of water resources management in terms of two pillars: economic efficiency and social equity. Combining the analytical results based on both statistical data of water consumption of each environmental/socioeconomic sector and household survey data in Zhangye City, northwestern China, we found that, recent policy changes including the adoption of economic/market-oriented instruments did contribute to a more efficient water use, however, this has been achieved with a trade-off of decreasing levels of system resilience. In addition, local residents' water demand appeared to be inelastic to the changes of water price.
