  • Summary:
    This open-access study evaluates how the Henan segment of China’s central line of the South‑to‑North Water Diversion Project (CLPSNWD) influences the high-quality development (HQD) of cities receiving diverted water. Using an entropy-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, the authors analyze 12 indicators across four HQD dimensions—economic vitality, livelihoods, environment, and green development—from 2010 to 2019. Findings show the project has stronger effects on economic vitality and public welfare than on environmental and green development aspects. Among recipient cities, Anyang, Hebi, and Zhengzhou exhibited the most significant gains in HQD.

  • Summary:
    This article constructs an evaluation system of industrial water‑energy‑CO₂ (WEC) subsystems in China’s Yellow River Basin (YRB) from 1999 to 2019. Employing a coupling degree model along with spatial autocorrelation analysis, the research assesses development levels, coupling relationships, and coordination evolution over time and across regions. Results show that overall integration of industrial WEC subsystems has improved, with industrial energy–CO₂ coupling exceeding water–energy and water–CO₂ links. Coordination evolved from “forced” to “good” levels, yet exhibited spatial randomness without clear clustering. The study advocates for enhanced integrated resource management, intra‑basin cooperation, and systemic planning for sustainable industrial growth in the YRB pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
