“…Dasgupta et al [27] analyzed the Indian energy intensity trends from 1973 to 2012 and concluded that the decline in energy intensity could offset a major portion of the growing energy demand, leading to a decoupling trend. Lesin et al [28] utilized Russian water use to determine the decoupling effect of raw material.…”

Water issue is one of the challenges of urban sustainability in developing countries. To address the conflict between urban water use and economic development, it is required to better understand the decoupling states between them and the driving forces behind these decoupling states. The transformed Tapio decoupling model is applied in this paper to study the decoupling relationship between urban industrial water consumption and economic growth in Beijing and Shanghai, two megacities in China, in 2003–2016. The factors driving decoupling are divided into industrial structure effect, industrial water utilization intensity effect, economic development level effect, and population size effect through Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method. The results show that: (1) the decoupling states of total water consumption and economic growth in Beijing and Shanghai are mainly strong decoupling and weak decoupling. In comparison, Shanghai’s decoupling effect is better than Beijing; (2) regarding decoupling elasticity, Beijing is higher than that of Shanghai in tertiary industry and lower in primary industry and secondary industry. As a result, Beijing’s decoupling level is worse than Shanghai in tertiary industry, while better in primary industry and secondary industry; (3) The common factors that drive the two megacities’ decoupling are industrial structure effect and industrial water utilization intensity effect. The effects of economic development level and population size mainly present weak decoupling in two megacities, but the decoupling state is optimized year by year. Finally, based on the results, some suggestions for achieving the sustainable development of urban water use are proposed.

“…In the field of water consumption decoupling, Lesin et al (2016) obtained the decoupling relationship between economic growth and water consumption by discussing the reasons why water pollution supports the weak regional economic growth. Wang (2015) applied decoupling theory and Tapio elasticity analysis to analyze the relationship between China's economic growth and water resource utilisation from the perspective of time and space and concluded that the decoupling between industrial production and industrial water use was weaker than that in agriculture.…”

“…By discussing the decoupling practice between economic development and resource consumption, Zhou et al (2014) put forward policy suggestions focusing on the real economy for China to achieve sustainable and stable economic growth. Similarly, on the basis of decoupling theory, Lesin et al (2017) innovated the management method of water resources in Russia.…”

Peer Review #1 of "Double decoupling effectiveness of water consumption and wastewater discharge in China’s textile industry based on water footprint theory (v0.1)"

As a traditional pillar industry in China, the textile industry has been intensifying the pressure of water resource load and its reduction of water environment emission over the years. Decoupling water resource consumption and wastewater discharge require decoupling from economic growth to realise the sustainable development of the textile industry. On the basis of water footprint and decoupling theories, this paper analyzed the water consumption decoupling, wastewater discharge decoupling, as well as the double decoupling of water consumption and wastewater discharge of China's textile industry and its three sub-industries (Manufacture of Textile, Manufacture of Textile Wearing and Apparel, Manufacture of Chemistry) from 2001 to 2015. In those years, the sum of the decoupling index in the double-decoupling years is 249, lower than that in high-decoupling years of water consumption (250) and wastewater discharge (325). Compared with the decoupling of water consumption and of wastewater discharge, the double decoupling is lower, which proves that the conditions for realizing double decoupling are stricter. The double decoupling analysis of water consumption and wastewater discharge, namely, the overall consideration of water resource consumption and water environment pollution, could be used to more effectively promote the realisation of water decoupling in the textile industry.
