TL;DR: The theoretical framework and methodology of a water ecological-economic system (WEES) assessment based on emergy synthesis are proposed in this paper, through calculating ecological and economic inputs and outputs within and outside the complex system, discusses the system's economic situation, water resources development and system sustainability based on a series of emergy indicators.

TL;DR: In this paper, an emergy analysis method is introduced to quantify both the sediment transportation value and social value, and a quantitative system of eco-economic value indicators is constructed, and the water resource values of 66 cities in the Yellow River Basin were calculated and the GIS atlas was used to describe their spatial distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the social value of water resources is defined based on social system theory, and an emergy analysis method for ecological economics is introduced for unified quantification and to improve the accounting method.

TL;DR: Based on the emergy theory of ecological economics and externality theory, the eco-economic losses of water sellers caused by agricultural water rights trading are analyzed in this article, where an innovative emergy quantification method that includes economic, social, and eco-environmental compensation is proposed.
