Reviewer 1 Report (Previous Reviewer 1)
I agree with the revision made by the authors. I have no other suggestions.
Author Response
Thanks to the reviewer#1 for your acknowledgments and suggestions. But this opinion is not aimed at this article due to the pasting error of the editorial department.

This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this study, the authors uses the DPSIR model to study the water resources carrying capacity of Zhengzhou. There are some problems in this study:
1. How does the authors define the DPSIR model, and what is the connotation of these elements for water resource carrying capacity? What is the Driving force? What is Pressure? What is State? What is Impact? What is Response? The authors needs to express clearly in the manuscript.
2. At present, many scholars have done a lot of research on water resources carrying capacity. Where is the innovation of the author's research in this MS?
3. Water resources carrying capacity includes production, domestic and ecology. How does the authors reflect this?
4. How to verify the conclusions of this study? Is the result reliable? What is the contribution of each indicator to the water resources carrying capacity? Are there regional differences?
Reviewer 2 Report
An interesting view on the assessment of water resources. It gives an opportunity to think about the reality, what all can affect them. At the same time, it is important to understand where and which factor to include within DPSIR. Overall, I have a very positive opinion on the contribution.
Some remarks:
The geographical names of the streams should be unified, I would recommend the original language and the translation into English only if used or known
Fig. 1, add the names of the streams
2.2
Probably add the type of data, or maybe just link to the tab. 1if is relevant
2.3.2, 2.3.3
I recommend, due to the number of formulas and indexes, to change the formatting of the text so that it is better visible what a paragraph is, what is a heading, formula, explanations, etc., it visually blends a little
Table 2: better highlight the boundaries of the intervals for individual Grades. And my question is why the indicated intervals do not visually follow each other, if they were listed in the opposite order it would be more transparent (my opinion)
Table 1 and Table 3: to unify the evaluation factor (P) indexing
