Abstract

As a core element of regional development, the assessment of water resources ecological carrying capacity is crucial for sustainable development. Traditional water resources ecological footprint models often yield biased results due to the neglect of water consumption in wastewater treatment, parameter dynamics, and spatial heterogeneity. This study improves model accuracy by introducing a water consumption correction coefficient, constructing a dynamic parameter system integrated with multi-source data, and coupling spatial analysis techniques. Taking typical regions as case studies, the research quantifies the spatio-temporal evolution of the water resources ecological footprint and reveals the response mechanisms of carrying capacity, providing theoretical support for the scientific management and control of water resources.
