Coal power generation is the second largest water use industry in China; its fast expansion puts pressures on water resources; water use quota management is supposed to be a vital means in saving water for coalpower generation industry. This paper, based on benchmark energy efficiency level of nationwide coal power plants, uses multiple regression model to evaluate water use intensity and factors of unit power generation in coal power plants, and estimates the expected water saving quantity in accordance with the latest edition of Coal Power Water Use Quota. The suggested general water use quota has little push on motive of saving water upgrading for coal power plants. Total saving water may be 122 millions cubic meters in 2020 given all plants comply with the suggested quota, but could be up to 823 millions cubic meters if three northern China regions satisfy the quota where water resources are rare, while other regions reach a premium quota. Viewing from technical perspective, water saving quantity proportions of circular cooling, direct cooling and air cooling are 58.6%, 18.7% and 22.8% under differentiated scenarios. Water saving quantity in eastern and northern China is over 200 millions cubic meters, around one forth nationwide, 108 million cubic meters in northwestern China, and 53 million cubic meters in northeastern China, the least. 

America's shale gas revolution alters its energy development, and also impacts the global energy pattern. This paper, based on its development and impacts of shale gas revolution, uses a quantitative model to reveal if it brings an impact on the natural gas markets of North America, Europe and Japan. On the basis of monthly data of 1988 June to 2018 May, BP breakpoint test model which structural mutation is adapted on the traditional unit root is used to analyze its characters of America's shale gas developing stages combined with related policies. Impulse response and variance is employed to study their correlation of the three big global gas markets before and after shale gas revolution. Sequence segmentation and industrial status of natural gas suggests the process and mechanism of America's shale gas revolution on global natural gas market. It is concluded that America's shale gas revolution raises its influence of American-European natural gas price on Asian market or even the global market.

General geological (ore) survey is a geological work for public interests financed by governmental capital in China, which can be determined by its objectives, capital source, achievements ownership and operating mechanism, of that achievements ownership is the key factor to determine its public interests for overseas general geological (ore) survey. Currently, China's overseas general geological (ore) survey is a nation-level cooperation sponsored by Chinese geological survey, exchanging geological and mineral resources achievements, which may provide general information for Chinese companies on overseas targeting areas, risk exploration, mineral development. China-Shanghai Cooperative Organization Geological Research Center, in Xian Geological Survey Center, China Geological Survey, is cooperating with middle Asia on geological survey with some achievements, marking its public interests of overseas general geological (ore) survey on Chinese companies.

Water pollution coming from mining CBM which is a major environmental issue can be classified as two types, fracturing return water and production discharge according to production time. Water volume and quality vary with location, generally showing a descending trend, with mineralization degree, COD, ammonia nitrogen, floats and fluorides as its chief indicators. In Chinas practice, water from CMB mining is discharged after settling down, but quality is much different from local standards, which shall be unified. Water shall be treated according to regional terrain, water quality and volume. This paper suggests applying natural evaporation, decentralized and centralized discharging based on allowable conditions. Besides removal of floats, ammonia nitrogen and COD, further processing needs to be done to treat fluorides, sulfides and iron ions. Treatments vary with mineralization degrees. Water after processed, if allowable, may be used for fracturing liquid, agricultural irrigation or sprinkling plants. 

This paper uses Nolte-Smith net double logarithmic pressure-time curve, combined with in-situ operating curve changes, to establish 8 types of hydraulic-fracturing sanding curve, which are employed to study the fracturing curves in 230 beds in 120 wells in Zhengzhuang well field and the deep coal reservoir fracturing effect, aiming at offering references for fracturing design, adjusting operating parameters. Type NS-III-3 (interlayered end-desanding and halt-sanding-return-discharging process) and NS-IV-3 (object layer sub-layer pressure discharging process) are the premium fracturing curves of deep low-permeable coal reservoir in Zhengzhuang well field. Fracturing net pressure works on the original coal fissures, with fissures opened to connect coal sub-layers; then franc sand and fracturing liquid move to the interfaces of coal reservoir sub-layers along its original fissures. Medium-low permeable “sweet spot” areas exist in the deep coal reservoir, which may be considered as a supplement. 

Environmental tax refers to the taxation on polluted or damaged environment by organization or persons who develop and use resources environment based on the developed resources degree or environmental polluted degree. Environmental taxation is one solution to environmental issues by using marketing economy, reflecting “who pollute, who handle, who develop, who restore, who use, who compensate, who benefit, who pay”. Environmental taxation is fair for competition and can realize double bonus to triple. This paper, based on Chinas current environmental taxation and combined with environmental situation, thinks the principles of correlation, polluters burden, and exclusive use of environmental tax by referring foreign successful taxation, and presents suggestions for system design of Chinas environmental taxation from taxpayers, taxation ways, tax base, and tax rate.

The management system, which is based on J2EE and SSH2 development framework techniques, can be combined with application and data consolidation, and completes information gathering, processing and inputting. It has been recommended to be used in the research center. This system also enhances the supervision on project execution process and project funds use that offers references for developing the similar projects management system.

Scientific measurement of urbanization level is of significance to industrialization, urbanization and harmonious development of economy and society. This paper uses 16 indicators to establish a synthetic measurement index system to evaluate Yulins urbanization level. It applies entropy to measure the synthetic development level of Yulins urbanization, and the development level of its subsystems of population, economy, society and space from 1990-2009. The results show a rising urbanization level, with variance in contribution of its subsystems. Economy subsystem has the highest score and increment, followed by space subsystem. The development of society and population subsystems is slow. The improvement of society subsystem is the key to Yulins urbanization and the slow development of population subsystem will influence the development of economy subsystem in the future.
