Sustainable management of water-economy-ecology nexus through coupling bi-level fractional optimization with effluent-trading mechanism: A case study of Dongjiang watershed by Y.F. Zhang, Y.P. Li, G.H. Huang, Y. Ma

“…Major findings are: (1) compared with non-trading, effluent-trading can effectively reduce pollution discharges (e.g., reducing 140.1×106 ton of Chemical Oxygen Demand and 79.5×106 ton of Ammonia-Nitrogen over the planning horizon), revealing that effluent-trading mechanism is beneficial to the improvement of ecological environment; (2) under the trading mechanism, trading ratio has significant effects on marginal benefit and water allocation (e.g., improving marginal benefit by 15.4% and saving 363.7×106 m3 of total water allocation under 1.03 of trading ratio); (3) in order to alleviate the deterioration of ecosystem, industrial water use should be limited firstly and the area of forest land should be expanded; for ensuring the ecosystem requirements, it is recommended to promote the reuse of reclaimed water and improve wastewater treatment/recycling technology. …”
