Decomposing drivers of changes in productive and domestic water use based on the logarithmic mean Divisia index method: a regional comparison in Northern China

It is crucial to consider regional heterogeneity while analyzing drivers of changes in sectoral water use for developing differentiated and effective demand-regulation strategies in China. By using the logarithmic mean Divisia index method, this study compares dynamic influences of intensity, struct...
