| Abstract | Studies of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) can provide helpful information about how the socio-economic system is both supported and restrained by the water resources system. As such, there is a need to develop better quantitative assessment methods to determine the potential maximum socio-economic growth within a catchment subjected to a given amount of water resource. An improved WRCC assessment method based on a system dynamics model (WRCC-SDM) is proposed in this paper. WRCC-SDM is built on synthesis simulations of coupling effects and feedback mechanisms within the society-economy-water compound system. The results can integrally represent system behaviors and states, and the evaluation of WRCC is achieved using this model. Moreover, an integrated indicator (Population-GDP-GDP per capita) is proposed to express the threshold value of WRCC. Based on the natural water resources supply capacity and associated socio-economic development potential, the concepts of critical WRCC and extreme WRCC are put forward. Critical WRCC represents the socio-economic scale that will cause total water demand to reach the maximum natural water resources supply capacity, while extreme WRCC reflects the socio-economic scale when the GDP growth rate constrained by limited water resources is zero. The methodology was applied to assess the water resources situation in Tieling City, China under different scenarios. The results indicate that: (1) Given the constraints represented by water resources, projected GDP growth tends to follow an S-curve growth pattern; and (2) Rapid population growth may lead to earlier and more severe water resources constraints. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
