“…The calculation method of regional water footprint is divided into top-down (comprehensive method) and bottom-up (component method) [14] . From the perspective of production, the top-down method needs to rely on a large number of import and export trade data; the bottom-up law calculates the water footprint from the perspective of consumption, which is equal to the actual water consumption plus the virtual water consumption of residents.…”

Based on the theory of water footprint and the spatial processing method of GIS data, this paper makes a comprehensive analysis on the population density, economic benefit and water resources scarcity of Zhoushan archipelago. The results show that the per capita water footprint of Zhoushan archipelago is 830.82 m3/person, which is smaller than that of Hangzhou and Jiaxing in the same latitude of Zhejiang Province. The average population density of water footprint in Zhoushan archipelago is 12.04 person/10,000 m3, showing a trend of high in north and south and low in central China. The average economic benefit of water footprint is 135.11 yuan/m3; the high value area is distributed in the south of Zhoushan archipelago, Dinghai District and Putuo District, where the economy is more developed, the average degree of water shortage in Zhoushan archipelago is 1.41, water resources are relatively scarce, and the pressure of water resources is greater. In view of this, we should improve the residents' awareness of water saving, reduce the discharge of sewage, and pay attention to the rational distribution of water resources among regions to reduce the pressure of water resources in the core urban areas.

“…Based on the theory of the water footprint, research on water resource assessment and its association with human activities has also been further developed. Many studies have used indicators such as the water footprint economic value [26] and the water poverty index [27], which are based on the water footprint, in terms of evaluating regional water resources security [28]. Certain scholars have used water footprints to explore the sustainable utilization of regional water resources [29], as well as water usage coordination and its association with economic development [30] and urbanization [31].…”

Understanding the relationship between the agricultural water footprint (AWF) and agricultural economic growth (AEG) is of great significance for promoting sustainable agriculture and regional economic development. In this study, we used agricultural statistics data from Hangzhou from 2010 to 2021 to calculate the AWF, predicted the decoupling relationship between the AWF and AEG, and explored the influencing factors of the decoupling relationship between the AWF and AEG. The results showed the following: (1) The AWF in Hangzhou exhibited a decreasing trend, with a reduction from 58.88 × 108 m3 in 2010 to 37.80 × 108 m3 in 2021; this was mainly related to the decline in the water footprints of grain, pork, and egg production. (2) The strong decoupling accounted for 63.64% of the decoupling between the AWF and AEG in Hangzhou during the study period. It was found that an agricultural structure adjustment was the main factor for achieving decoupling between the AWF and AEG. Under the guidance of policy, the decoupling between them could be changed by regulating the output of agricultural products with different water footprint contents per unit. (3) From 2022 to 2026, the AWF in Hangzhou is expected to decrease to 28.21 × 108 m3, while the agricultural economy is projected to increase to CNY 40.008 billion. There will continue to be a strong decoupling status between the AWF and AEG in Hangzhou.
