Analysis of Water Pressure Driving Force of Water Resources in Xi'an Based on LMDI Method and Water Footprint Theory
It is of great significance to clarify the reason of water resources pressure for alleviating the shortage of water resources and rational allocation of water resources.In order to explore the reason of water resources pressure and its driving factors,this paper used various water resources statistics of Xi'an from 2013 to 2020 to study the change trend of its water footprint,and combined with LMDI decomposition meth-od to analyze the influence of technological effect,population effect,structural effect and economic effect on the water resources pressure of Xi'an.The results show as follows:a)The water footprint of Xi'an reaches to the maximum in 2018,and the water footprint is dominated by the internal water footprint,accounting for about 90.24%-95.52%;the internal water footprint is dominated by agricultural water,accounting for 35.26%-41.82%.From the perspective of spatial structure,the per capita water footprint of the six urban districts is lower than that of other districts in Xi'an.b)From 2013 to 2020,the water footprint of Xi'an is in a state of water deficit,and the water resources are in a state of overloaded development and utilization.c)Among the driving factors of water footprint in Xi'an,the technical effect is the reverse driving effect,and has the greatest impact on the water footprint.Among the positive driving factors,the economic effect and the population effect have a greater impact on the water footprint,and the structural effect is smaller than that of the former two.
