Hydro Power Potential

Hydro power potential of Transbaikal Kray small rivers has been considered as a part of the territory water resources that can be used for energy production. It has been shown that Transbaikal Kray territory is characterized by the well-developed river network, more than 98 % of it relate to the small river class. Use of the rivers’ hydro-power resources is hampered due to the absence of their hydro-power potential. This is the first topical article devoted to assessment of theoretical (gross) potential of the Transbaikal Kray small hydro-power industry. A map of runoff module distribution on the Transbaikal Kray territory and data on elevations obtained with Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital relief model have been used in this study. The “linear accounting” method has been applied to the rivers theoretical hydro-power potential calculation, a map of the Transbaikal Kray small rivers hydro-power theoretical potential distribution has been plotted in accordance with the obtained results. River ranges located in the Stanovoy upland, the adjoining Northern part of the Transbaikalian middle mountains, and the Khentey-Daur upland possess the highest theoretical capacity. The lowest values are typical for South-East regions of the Kray.

Effect Of Water

Water stress in one of the most important abiotic stresses that affects the productivity of many crop species worldwide. In addition, the climate change creates new challenges for crop adaptation especially as water resources become limited and the increase in water stress becomes more pronounced even in areas where there is adequate water supply. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of water stress on physiological characteristics of five cultivars of basil under field conditions. Water stress affected leaf temperature, dry herb yield, leaf water potential, assimilation rate and gas exchange parameters, quantum yield, instantaneous water use efficiency (WUE), and essential oil content. From the physiological characteristics water potential and assimilation rate can be used for the selection of basil cultivars tolerant to water stress. In addition, essential oil content was lower under water stress indicating that essential oil content is correlated with water availability. From the present study it is obvious that there are tolerant basil cultivars to water stress and can be found using physiological traits such as water potential and assimilation rate and can be used to save and use water more sustainable and also conserve the water resources.

Effect Of Water

Studying the influencing factors of the drag effect of water resources and its temporal–spatial variation can help governments to solve the problem of water resource constraints on the economic growth of different regions. Based on Romer’s hypothesis, this paper uses panel data to empirically analyze the drag effect of water resources in China’s 31 provinces from 1987 to 2017. The research shows that: (1) Water resources have certain constraints on the economic growth of each region. Regional economic growth has declined by 0.23% (eastern), 0.07% (western), 0.43% (central) and 0.09% (northeastern) annually. (2) In provinces with rapid labor growth, water resources have a greater impact on economic growth. In provinces with low labor growth rates, the drag effect of water resources on economic growth is affected by the capital stock of the region. (3) Through the analysis of the water drag effect in different time periods, this paper finds that in some periods, the government’s mobilization of water resources for the economic growth in some regions will not only promote the transfer of labor between regions, but also cause changes in the regional water resources. According to the results of this paper, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) It is necessary to vigorously develop water-saving agriculture, improve technical efficiency, and reduce the strong dependence of economic growth on water resources in the provinces which has a strong water drag effect on economic growth; (2) Provinces with moderate water resource constraints should take the lead in deploying strategic emerging industries, and accelerate the development of the tertiary industry; (3) Provinces with weakly water resource restrictions can promote the development of capital-based industries. Not only can the development of the economy be rational, but it can also reduce the economy’s dependence on resources, thereby achieving the sustainable use of water resources and sustainable economic growth.

Water infrastructure development is key to attaining sustainable development, especially for water supply, sanitation and health, agricultural development, and energy production. However, sub-Saharan African countries face specific challenges around infrastructure financing, systemic and repeated malfunctioning, and decentralised infrastructure types. Using Nigeria as a case, this article aims to analyse historical water infrastructure development in Nigeria with a specific focus on dams and standpipes. Seven themes are discussed: infrastructure divisions; deprioritising water supply; political infrastructures; infrastructure failure and sustainability; infrastructure classification and typologies; optimal use of water resources and infrastructure; and a commentary on the future of water infrastructure development. The article concludes with policy and research suggestions for policymakers and other relevant stakeholders.

Through the water compensation models, the article studies the effect of water resources compensation policy on the upstream and downstream areas under differential empowerment systems. Study finds that difference in water resources utilization efficiency is the precondition of water resources compensation policy implementation. With changes of water resources utilization efficiency, the compensation price changes in the same direction and the compensation amount changes in the opposite direction. Finally, water resources compensation policy will improve the welfare of both areas, which is highly consistent with Coase theorem.
