The management of agricultural water pollution is crucial to alleviate the water crisis and
promote regional sustainable development. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the spatial …

Existing studies on the virtual scarce water flows within the water-energy context focus on
water quantity while largely ignoring water quality. This study improves the quantification …

Improving water environmental carrying capacity (WECC) is pivotal to support water
sustainability and continued economic development. The improvement pathways of WECC …

To optimize the swine wastewater (SWW) treatment, this study investigated different
hydraulic retention times (HRTs) for microalgae cultivation. For this purpose, five pilot-scale …

Decades of economic growth in China were enabled by rapid industrialization with
insufficient water quality controls. Previous studies have traced water pollution discharges or …

At present, the deterioration of the water ecosystem has constituted a bottleneck for the
further development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). As a crucial indicator for …

Anthropogenic reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions from agricultural production and food
consumption in city clusters have caused water quality degradation and scarcity. In this …

Previous studies have explored virtual water flows due to interprovincial trade within China
as well as related impacts on both regional quantity-and quality-related water scarcity …

The virtual water trade (VWT) has been proposed as a means of balancing national water
budgets while also saving water globally. Since humans require both sufficient quantity and …

This paper evaluates the unintended mitigation effect of air pollutant regulation on aquatic
cadmium (Cd) emissions in the China's Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Environmental …
