Measurement and driving mechanisms of water use efficiency in the three major urban agglomerations in China from the perspective of green and sustainable development by Xiaodi Xu, Yanhu He, Qian Tan, Xiaohong Chen

“…Specifically, YRDUA has high WUE edges, low middle; BTHUA and PRDUA show “strong center, weak periphery”. (2) Key factors include the number of employees at the end of the period in urban non-private units (NEUNU), the investment in fixed assets for urban municipal public facilities construction (IFAUMC), the total electricity consumption (TEC), and the added value of the secondary industry (AVSI). (3) Notably, the key influencing factors differ among agglomerations: For PRDUA, the key influencing factors are IFAUMC and AVSI; for YRDUA, they are NEUNU, IFAUMC, and the added value of the tertiary industry; for BTHUA, they are NEUNU, the total water supply, and TEC. (4) Cities are classified into three categories (i.e., Tremendous-Input High-Efficiency, High-Input Medium-Efficiency, and General-Input Diverse-Efficiency Water Use Cities) with distinct key factors, according to WUE and input–output indicators. …”
