- Abstract:
- Water is essential to the process of daily consumption, and the change of consumption patterns isdirectly related to water consumption. Virtual water consumption of city and country residents in Zhengzhouwas calculated and analyzed from 1999 to 2008. Results show that, virtual water consumption of Zhengzhouurban residents has a growing trend year by year, whereas the water consumption of Zhengzhou rural residentsdeclines slightly. The virtual water consumption of city per capita is 1.6 times as great as country per capitaconsumption, moreover, the diversity index and evenness index of urban residents is higher than rural resi.dents, Thus, in order to narrow the gap between city and country areas, it is necessary to increase the incomeof rural residents and improve the consumption level; and at the same time people’s consumption habitsshould be correctly guided to improve wgter use efficiency.
