The virtual water concept has been largely applied in the study of regional, national, and global water flows with particular emphasis on water endowment. Despite water traditionally being managed locally, certain forces (drivers) influence the local water resource availability and hence virtual water exchanges. This study reviews available literature to determine those drivers and their influence on virtual water exchanges. Studies show that the drivers are numerous, and there exist several available literatures providing controversial results leading to a high level of uncertainty in the determination of their relative significance. Possible reasons for the contradicting results are discussed and suggestions made.

The shortage of water resources has prohibited the sustainable growth of China. Identifying the driving forces of water intensity is critical to initiating cost-effective policies and regulations to reduce water consumption across China. We develop a global meta-frontier production decomposition approach, which could simultaneously address the spatial and temporal heterogeneities, to decompose the water intensity of the industrial sector in China at various levels from 2011 to 2015. Results show that the industrial water intensity in all provinces except Shanxi has been declining over the sample period, with little potential for a further reduction. Second, at the national level, the potential water usage factor and the temporal catch-up effect of water usage technology are two significant contributors in reducing the industrial water intensity. Third, we find that some factors have mixed results at the regional and provincial levels, calling for customized policies in these aspects. Our approach provides a more precise decomposition and reveals more details in China’s variations of industrial water intensity, which has manifold implications for regional water management.

More than one-quarter of the world’s population lives in water-scarce areas, while most countries share at least one transboundary river. If water scarcity is this prevalent, should we expect riparian countries to fight over the water allocation of shared rivers? To answer this question, I develop a modified one-shot three-stage river-sharing game where countries can resort to force to solve their water allocation problem. Using backward induction, I solve for the probability of the downstream country initiating conflict against the upstream country and the likelihood of the latter responding with force to the former’s hostile actions. I test the model empirically using a set of all upstream–downstream riparian dyads with available data from AQUASTAT and the Correlates of War Project for the years 1960–2010. The main contribution of this paper is that it demonstrates how upstream and downstream riparian countries differ in their decision to use force against the other country when experiencing water scarcity. I find that water scarcity increases the likelihood of the downstream country initiating the conflict, but it has no effect on the upstream country’s likelihood of responding with force. If history is a predictor of the future, then the results imply that as more riparian countries become water-scarce, militarized conflicts between upstream and downstream countries are likely to increase, especially if there is heterogeneity in water availability between the riparian dyad.
