Saline formations are considered to be candidates for carbon sequestration due to their great depths, large storage volumes, and widespread occurrence. However, injecting carbon dioxide into low-permeability reservoirs is challenging. An active demonstration project for carbon dioxide sequestration in the Ordos Basin, China, began in 2010. The site is characterized by a deep, multi-layered saline reservoir with permeability mostly below 1.0×10-14 m2. Field observations so far suggest that only small-to-moderate pressure buildup has taken place due to injection. The Triassic Liujiagou sandstone at the top of the reservoir has surprisingly high injectivity and accepts approximately 80 % of the injected mass at the site. Based on these key observations, a three-dimensional numerical model was developed and applied, to predict the plume dynamics and pressure propagation, and in the assessment of storage safety. The model is assembled with the most recent data and the simulations are calibrated to the latest available observations. The model explains most of the observed phenomena at the site. With the current operation scheme, the CO2 plume at the uppermost reservoir would reach a lateral distance of 658 m by the end of the project in 2015, and approximately 1,000 m after 100 years since injection. The resulting pressure buildup in the reservoir was below 5 MPa, far below the threshold to cause fracturing of the sealing cap (around 33 MPa).

The effective management of irrigation water consumption is one of the main countermeasures to combat water shortages. This paper introduced an integrated approach to determine the major factors influencing irrigation water consumption in China. It combined multiple linear regression and principal component analysis to analyze the relationship between irrigation water consumption and influencing factors and then applied analytic hierarchy process and cluster analysis to analyze the spatial variation in driving factors of irrigation water consumption. Based on statistical data from the 31 provinces of China from 2000 to 2015, the results showed that irrigation water consumption was positively affected by the planting size, the ratio of surface water in water consumption (RSW), the planting structure, the annual ET0 (AE) and the annual average temperature (AAT); in contrast, consumption was generally negatively affected by irrigation technique, economic development, and annual rainfall (AR). The water consumption structure, irrigation technique and planting structure were major influential factors in most provinces of China, and there were significant differences in different regions; thus, regions should be restructured to be studied as subregions. For the total consumption of irrigation water, Central China was mainly affected by the water consumption structure, irrigation technique and climatic conditions, and North and Northwest China were hardly influenced by planting structure. Northeast, Southwest and southeastern coastal China were slightly affected by climatic conditions. For the per unit area irrigation water consumption, Central China was mainly affected by the water consumption structure, irrigation technique, planting size and climatic conditions, Southwest, South, East and Northeast China were mainly affected by the planting structure and planting size, and Northwest and North China were mainly influenced by the irrigation technique, water consumption structure and planting size.

With the continuous growth of the world's social economy and population, problems such as water shortage and water environment deterioration need to be solved urgently. Combining the emergy carrying capacity of water resources and the emergy ecological footprint method, the water security and sustainable development status of the typical city in the karst region (Anshun City) was evaluated, and the internal driving factors and optimization suggestions were discussed. The research results of water security in Anshun City show that: The water resources carrying capacity fluctuates greatly with rainfall and is generally in a low-level surplus state. The ecological pressure index and the sustainable utilization index show a downward trend. The pressure intensity of social and economic systems on water resources is increasing, and the sustainable development of water resources is not optimistic. Water resources security is mainly affected by natural ecological mechanisms centered on mountain systems, geological structures and hydrological systems, as well as social mechanisms centered on changes in population scale, land development and utilization, and urban development. In the future, the sustainable development of water resources can be promoted by changing the mode of economic development, optimizing the allocation of water resources, and protecting the ecological environment.
