“…This result for Spain confirms the analysis made by Velázquez (2006). In her work, she finds that in one of the most arid regions in Europe, Andalusia, a large quantity of water is used by the agricultural sector to export its products.…”

The Water Framework Directive defines common objectives for water resources throughout the European Union (EU). Given this general approach to water preservation and water policy, the objective of this paper is to analyse whether common patterns of water consumption exist within Europe. In particular, our study uses two methods to reveal the reasons behind sectoral water use in all EU countries. The first method is based on an accounting indicator that calculates the water intensity of an economy as the sum of sectoral water intensities. The second method is a subsystem input-output model that divides total water use into different income channels within the production system. The application uses data from the year 2005 on water consumption in the production system of the 27 countries of the EU.From our analysis it emerges that EU countries are characterized by very different patterns of water consumption. Mediterranean and central/eastern European countries use water mainly for agriculture whereas northern European countries use it mainly for electricity, gas and water supply.In most countries, the water used by the fuel, power and water sector is consumed to satisfy domestic final demand. However, our analysis shows that for some countries exports from this sector are an important driver of water consumption. Focusing on the agricultural sector, the decomposition analysis suggests that water usage in Mediterranean countries is mainly driven by final demand for, and exports of, agricultural products, whereas domestic final demand is the main driver of water consumption in central/eastern European countries.Given these heterogeneous water consumption patterns, our analysis suggests that Mediterranean and central/eastern European countries should adopt specific water policies if water consumption in the European Union is to be efficient.JEL codes: N5; C67

“…Duarte, et al [32] evaluated the internal effect and the induced effect of water consumption with an IO analysis in Spain. Velazquez proposed an IO model of water consumption and applied it to estimate Spain's consumption [33] . Lin proposed a hybrid IO model designed to analyze both the generation and treatment of wastewater in the metropolis of Tokyo [34] .…”

“…Kim et al used a multi-region input-output approach to analyze water quality enhancing policies for Korea [19]. Esther Velazquez presented an input-output model to show the relationship between the sectoral water consumption and sectoral economic output in Andalusia [20]. Wang identified the relationships between production activities and their related water usage in Zhangye City through a regional input-output model [21].…”

An Extended Input Output Table Compiled for Analyzing Water Demand and Consumption at County Level in China

This paper attempts to propose hybrid methodology of compiling water resource extended input-output (IO) table at county level (According to administrative structure of China, a county is subordinate to its province, and provincial level is parallel to state level of other countries). By combining Non-Survey-based RAS-technique for possible iterated results and Partial-Survey-based current situation for actual ongoing resource-consumption, we aimed to depict a more accurate structure for water resource consumption and regional economic impact analysis at a county level in the arid area. Additionally, non-parameter methodology was adopted to interpolate missing data. Since human interventions continually have impacted on the natural environment that would finally lead to over-consumption of natural resources, we introduced water consumption caused by cultivation in the Primary Industry and water usage in other industries into a local input-output matrix of Shandan County in Gansu Province, China. Evidence of empirical analysis shows that the modified IO table can more accurately describe economic structure than weighted provincial average IO table does. Moreover, industrialization is ongoing with economic diversity and continually generating water use demand even though also stimulating imports of light industrial products according to the Partial-Survey reports. It demonstrates that industrialization and increasing household consumption drive a high speed of economic growth but with a high cost of water consumption through the Secondary and Tertiary Industries, even at a far rural area. Hence, water scarcity would be a constraint OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2014, 6 3302 on sustainable development in regions such as Shandan County when taking economic valuation of natural water consumption into account.
