Abstract

The virtual water concept has been largely applied in the study of regional, national, and global water flows with particular emphasis on water endowment. Despite water traditionally being managed locally, certain forces (drivers) influence the local water resource availability and hence virtual water exchanges. This study reviews available literature to determine those drivers and their influence on virtual water exchanges. Studies show that the drivers are numerous, and there exist several available literatures providing controversial results leading to a high level of uncertainty in the determination of their relative significance. Possible reasons for the contradicting results are discussed and suggestions made.

虚拟水交易的冲突驱动因素——基于“虚拟水概念”的回顾

虚拟水概念已广泛应用于区域、国家和全球水流的研究，特别强调水资源禀赋。尽管水传统上是在当地管理的，但某些力量（驱动因素）会影响当地水资源的可用性，从而影响虚拟水交换。本研究回顾了现有文献，以确定这些驱动因素及其对虚拟水交换的影响。研究表明，驱动因素众多，有几篇可用的文献提供了有争议的结果，导致在确定其相对重要性时存在高度的不确定性。讨论了产生矛盾结果的可能原因，并提出了建议。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
