“…44 Again, the soil moisture vertical measure is achieved with the Richard's onedimensional equation. 45 To estimate effect of climate on the River Basin in terms of a physical quantity, the amount of soil wetness or dryness available is used. In the long run, soil moisture anomaly may illustrate random precipitation on the land surface, which determines growth of crops and the progress of drought events.…”

The causal research design method is most effective in establishing the cause-andeffect associations especially when carrying out findings concerning specific variations on water resources availability and development in relation to several other River Basin operating factors such as human activities, climatic conditions and Land-use. The paper takes advantage of specific scenarios to reveal the trends of relationships between factors measured. It is feasible to analyze the effect and cause for wide range of processes in relation to trends. There are higher levels of internal validity associated with research design method because of systematic subject selection. Present study examines the effects of climate change factors on the processes and relative needs for water uses in domestic, production and eco-water consumption is central to the allocation and conservation of water resources in systems of ecology and economy in arid Northeast of China. The population growth requires adequate supply of water especially during shortages arising melt-water from ice and glacier, abnormal rainfall, and flood disasters. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) has deployed prominently for modelling the physical distribution of hydrology of Huai River Basin to ascertain the influence of land use and climate changes independently. However, its inadequate data causes equivocal and inconsistency results derived from statistical analysis; seemingly poor control measures in the basin; method's cause-effect nature; and restriction to small and headwater basins. The watershed method revealed the effects of climatic conditions and human activities on water resources. However, it is limited by the constant variation to land use patterns usually smaller in large catchments than in small watersheds. There are two small neighbouring watersheds could have same climatic input but not in the case of larger catchments. To solve those problems researchers and stakeholders must find a long-term solution by identifying the affected areas. This paper presents the overview of water resources problem of the basin for future study, plan, and work. Keywords: The effects of human activities, climatic conditions and land-use factors on water resources development in huai river basin northeast china 108Copyright: ©2018 Othman Ali et al.The processes of hydrology are majorly caused by climate and land use. There is ever increasing rate of human advancements giving rise to intense changes universally both in climatic conditions and forms of land-use in catchments. In general, the effects of these changes on environment and ecological advancement are receiving extensive attention.12-15 On a catchment scale, the effects of these processes of hydrology including infiltration, groundwater recharge and runoff continue to adversely take tolls in the sense of balance of water resources' demand and supply and quality of water; thereby causing imbalances in environment, ecosystems, and economy at large. The direct consequences of land use change are ra...

“…Present ECER policy studies in China have focused mainly on dealing with existing ECER policy implementation problems and solutions (Yuan et al [11]; Zhao et al [12]; Zhao and Ortolano [13]), evaluating the effect and policy welfare in ECER policies (Fang et al [14]; Geng et al [15]; Price et al [16]), discussing the potential and actual costs of ECER under different policy scenarios, and determining optimum ECER implementation (Wang et al [17]; Hao et al [18]; Xi et al [19]), investigating the key factors, departments and areas that influence the effect of the ECER and making policy suggestions according to those factors (Zhu et al [20]; Fujii et al [21]; Zhang et al [22]), and outlining ECER policies in other countries and discussing the implications and references for China (Hu and Monroy [23]; Tanaka [24]; Yuan et al [25]). These studies have relied on discussions about object, content, significance, effect, or the future direction of one group or one class of ECER policies, and most took a logical and analytical approach.…”

Abstract:To understand the general relationship between Energy Conservation and Emissions Reduction (ECER) policy means coordination (PMC) and economic growth, this paper quantitatively investigates the impact on economic growth of differing PMCs. ECER policies from 1978 to 2013 in China are quantified across two dimensions of policy power and policy means, and then, PMC degrees are designed as independent variables and incorporated into a modified Cobb−Douglas production model. While determining the cointegration relationships by using a unit root test, a cointegration test and a stability test, cointegration equation is conducted by using quantitative data to explore the economic growth effects of PMC in China. The government's use of PMC in China is also analyzed and ranked. The empirical results show that there is a long-term cointegration relationship among the variables from 1978 to 2013. Additionally, the effects of the different PMCs on economic growth show significant discrepancies and each PMC usage ranking is also found to be significantly different, thereby implying that the use of different PMCs by the Chinese government needs to be further perfected.

“…Sadorsky (2014) test the influence of urbanization on energy emission in emerging countries by using panel data of 16 countries from the period of 1971 to 2009, panel regression suggested that urbanization has a progressive and significantly impact on energy emission in 16 emerging countries. Zhang, Liu, Zhang, and Tan (2014) examined the relationship between economic growth, industrial structure and urbanization on CE in China for the period of 1978 to 2011 by using ARDL technique. Results suggested that there is long run relationship exist between urbanization and energy emission and urbanization increases energy consumption and emission significantly.…”

This study investigates the Carbon dioxide emission-urbanization-growth nexus in Pakistan by taking time series data from the period of 1972 to 2013. The study applied three approaches of co-integration (ARDL bounds test, Johansen and Juselius and Gregory and Hansen structural break test) to confirm the valid long-run positive interaction between carbon dioxide emission and urbanization. The robustness of cointegrating vectors are further checked using FMOLS and DOLS tests and the results validate the long-run coefficients. The results of VDM exhibit the uni-directional causality between carbon dioxide emission and urbanization running from urbanization to carbon dioxide emission. It was therefore noted that policies in which the government needs to allocate greater portion to environmental safeguard and energy saving components in the planning, such as encouraging energy saving framework and creating a chain of increasing indicators of environmental protection and energy saving.
