Improvement and application of water footprint evaluation method for multi-level city hotels industry
The evaluation method of water footprint of hotels industry in multi-level cities was improved and applied,aiming to construct the hotel water footprint evaluation system suitable for different levels of cities.The research methods include determining the evaluation index,water footprint accounting(direct water footprint and indirect water footprint),formulating a water-saving evaluation table based on the city level,and obtaining the evaluation results according to the scoring criteria.Taking the five-star hotel in the third-tier city and a three-star hotel in a first-tier city as examples,the feasibility and practicability of method were illustrated.The results showed that this method can accurately reflect the utilization status of water resources in hotels,provide scientific basis for water-saving management of hotels,and help to promote the refinement and scientific management of urban water resources.
