Carrying Capacity in China: Sustainable Development and Water Resources in Yunnan Province
Research on water resources carrying capacity provides much-needed insight for sustainable development of society and the economy. This paper reports on human carrying capacity (sustainable population) in terms of water resources in Yunnan province, China, as well as socio-economic, ecological and environmental development under selected conditions. A sustainable water resources carrying capacity model is built, with analysis and forecasts of carrying capacity in 2010, 2020, 2030 and 2050. The results indicate that Yunnan province is trending toward water stress in the long term.
