inland area, are very crucial and urgent for urban peoples
living. Fuyang city is a typical inland metropolis being shortage of water resources
in China. In order to evaluate the determinants and impacting factors of water
pricing, an empirical study was carried out using multivariate regression model
to analyze the correlations among residential water price and urban disposable
income and water consumption. It was found that the current urban water price
is negatively and significantly correlated with the urban per capita disposable
income and average water consumption. Confronted with the current increasingly
scarce situation of urban water resources and difficulties encountered in the
pricing of residential water, some counter measures and suggestions were eventually
put forward in order to allocate the urban water resources reasonably in Fuyang
city.]]>Beecher, J.A. and J.A. Kalmbach,2013243247Berbel, J. and J.A. Gomez-Limon,200043219238Binet, M.E., F. Carlevaro and M. Paul,20132013Bithas, K.,20081612931311Cai, Y. and P.
