Evolution of China’s Interprovincial Water Flow Network

Traditionally, water governance focuses on water only. The emergence of virtual water breaks this limitation and integrates economic and social systems with the water resource system. This paper establishes an interprovincial complex network of virtual water flows in China, based on the theory on co...

description Traditionally, water governance focuses on water only. The emergence of virtual water breaks this limitation and integrates economic and social systems with the water resource system. This paper establishes an interprovincial complex network of virtual water flows in China, based on the theory on complex network, which has rarely been adopted to study the virtual water transfer network. Then, the authors analyzed the pattern and evolutionary features of China’s interprovincial virtual water flow network. In this way, the complex network theory was successfully applied to explore the virtual water flows across provinces in China.
