Basin Management Supported by Regional Green Innovation System and related Big Data Project Evaluation Framework in Zhejiang, East China

ABSTRACT

This paper explores green environment social economic innovation teams at universities in Zhejiang province, China in view of basin management. Water environment social economic system data of Qian-tang-jiang and Ou-jiang in Zhejiang province, China are estimated using “12^th Five-year” Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan of Qian-tang-jiang and Ou-jiang in 2010, Zhejiang year-book 2014. We show that urbanization level in Zhejiang province belongs to predominantly urban level, and annual 300 million yuan was arranged for water environmental protection and water pollution control based on progressive compensation mechanism in Qian-tang-jiang. In 2013, severe Tropical Storm Fitow caused severe floods and loss reached more than 2 billion yuan. Government would solve waterborne problems fundamentally through “Governance of Water’s Five Aspects”, namely treating sewage water, controlling flood, draining flooded fields, supplying water and saving water. We also find that five green environment social economic innovation teams at universities in Qian-tang-jiang while one green environment social economic innovation team at universities in Ou-jiang. The case study of Qian-tang-jiang Big Data project highlight that it would be evaluated using Emergy analysis, and that more attention should be directed towards water allocation coefficient and currency exchange rate as empirical parameters.
