Abstract: Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (referred to as “Ningxia†below) is one of the most water stressed regions in China. In order to help governments and corporations gain a better understanding of water stress associated with local economic development and its impact on socio-economic development in Ningxia, the World Resources Institute (referred to as “WRI†below) has partnered with the Ningxia Development Research Center, and China Water Risk to analyze water resources profiles, water resources management, and current water use patterns in Ningxia. WRI’s Aqueduct Water Risk Framework was applied to assess Ningxia’s baseline water stress (referred to as “BWS†below) focusing on the development of the local coal industry and its impact on water resources and provided suggestions for better management of Ningxia’s water resources. [WRI Working Paper].
