A reviews of integrated Hydro-Economic modelling for water management: Frameworks and approaches

For quantitative analyzing the reactive relationship between socio-economic and water resources occupation, plus water pollution discharge, the methods for integrated analysis of Hydro-Economic are reviewed, which include water-accounting, material flow analysis, statistical analysis, micro-agent based method and input-output analysis. These methods are different based on the basic data required, spatial scale adaptability, tolerance of system complexity. The characteristic of each method determines the spatial and system-complexity level which the method can be used. For large spatial level application, which containing fully and complex economic system, input-output analysis should be a comfortable method.
