Über dieses Buch

This book presents a selected literature review and case studies for both physical and virtual water transfer. It offers an overview to showcase the interprovincial physical and virtual water transfer within China, and then demonstrates the effects of both approaches in dealing with regional water scarcity; the three cases presented in the Yangtze River Basin demonstrate the role of physical water transfer in improving water quality and restoring water ecosystems; while a Shanghai case highlights the impact of Shanghai’s virtual water import on water quantity and quality stress to other regions. This book promotes systematic approaches combining both virtual and physical water transfer solutions to deal with water quantity and quality issues. The book is intended for senior undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers and researchers in water management.

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Do you know that about 71% of Earth consists of water body? For all the water, only 3.5% is drinkable, and the rest is salty water (Williams 2014). Unfortunately, this available water is unequally distributed around the world.
Yiping Li, Harold Lyonel Feukam Nzudie, Xu Zhao, Hua Wang
Chapter 2. Comparison of Physical and Virtual Water Transfer
Abstract
It is well known the various uses of water in our society. Water has played a significant role during the development of human society (Liu et al. 2017). About 71% of the earth’s surface is water-covered (The USGS Water Science School 2016). However, water is unevenly distributed. During the last three decades, the Chinese economy has experienced the fastest growth among major nations, and it is now ranked second in the world (Liu et al. 2013).

Chapter 3. Pattern of Physical and Virtual Water Flows: The Impact to Water Quantity Stress Among China’s Provinces
Abstract
The difference in water distribution around the world has generated a gap between water for needs and water resources availability. Most regions such as the Middle East, some part of Asia, North Africa have been suffering from it.
Yiping Li, Harold Lyonel Feukam Nzudie, Xu Zhao, Hua Wang
Chapter 4. Physical Water Transfer and Its Impact on Water Quality: The Case of Yangtze River Diversions
Abstract
Water transfer engineering is an essential approach for lake restoration. It has been widely used for water supply and energy production around the world. Besides, it has been successfully applied in several water bodies for different purposes, namely, for accelerating water exchange, diluting polluted water, improving water quality, and mitigating eutrophication issues.

Chapter 5. Water Transfer to Achieve Environmental Issues: Waterfront Body
Abstract
Waterfront is a land or a dock area. It is located directly on a body of water such as a river, lake or ocean. It exists in many countries in the world. Concerning lake, the waterfront has a strong connection with the water body whereby it shares its water. The formation set by the waterfront lake and the external rivers constitutes a system in the environment.

Chapter 6. Case of Physical Water Transfer from Yangtze River: Different Routes
Abstract
We all know that water is essential for life, but its access is still much more difficult depending on our geographic positions. Some areas are relatively dry, and there is about 80% of humans who live in a state of water insecurity (Wilson et al. 2017).
Yiping Li, Harold Lyonel Feukam Nzudie, Xu Zhao, Hua Wang
Chapter 7. Virtual Water Transfer Within China: The Case of Shanghai
Abstract
Due to the spatial distribution of Water resources around the world, some regions/countries cannot provide for themselves. They, therefore, rely on either their water or supplying water from others, or both to meet their needs.
