The lack of human resource has become a big problem, and it is realized that such endless abuse of natural resources cannot be achieved. This has become a sustainable development proposed by sustainable development. With limited natural resources, how to balance current economic development with future resource use has become a key issue. Sustainable consumption and production, as well as sustainable material management, are all expected to reduce the use of natural resources without affecting economic growth. This is also the concept of decoupling. (Grossman, 1994) proposed the concept of decoupling, which can reduce the use of substances through innovation of new technologies without affecting economic growth. If you want to reduce the consumption of resources, there are many ways to strengthen ideological education, change consumption patterns, etc., but this can not achieve the goal of decoupling economic growth from resource use. Resource efficiency has been recognized as a key factor in achieving a sustainable challenge. Improving resource efficiency is decoupling economic growth from resource use. Improving resource efficiency is a good way to be expected to decouple economic growth from resource use. It can also reduce resource use and increase output value. Resource efficiency actions includes reducing the use of physical resources and encouraging innovations of production and the comsumption. Technological innovation can achieve the goal of improving resource efficiency. It is especially important for the technological innovation of any industry. For example, if you want to improve the resource efficiency of water, it will not necessarily improve the technology of water. It may have better effects from other technologies. This is called hiding. Flow direction, and to understand the hidden flow direction, you need to use the combination of IO and AMC. In order to solve the impact of resource efficiency and industrial technology innovation, the specific resource path is described in detail through the intermediate products of the industrial system and the final products. This research takes water and energy as an example, and after some technological innovations, we can see changes in the use of water and energy. Because this research fixes the final demand (GDP), it is only necessary to discuss changes the in the use of water and energy. This research discusses the three parts of energy industry management, water resources industry management, and water energy interweaving. If you want to improve the efficiency of electricity resources, it is not necessary to start from the energy-related industry. If you want to improve the efficiency of water resources, it is not necessary to start with water related technologies. Changing water-related technologies does not improve the energy-saving effect, and changing the electrical-related technology does not improve the water-saving effect.
