A multi-method integrated simulation system for water resources allocation

Abstract

Water resources allocation is an important technical tool to alleviate the conflict between water supply and demand, improve water resources utilization efficiency, and achieve the control target of total water resources utilization. However, the current water resources allocation theory is immature, and there are few objective and quantitative allocation methods, which leads to the relatively backward allocation practice. Moreover, the amounts of allocable water resources change dynamically, which makes the static and single traditional allocation scheme difficult to adapt to changes. To address the above issues, this research comprehensively integrated multiple types of allocation models to build a multi-method integrated simulation system for water resources allocation. The results show that the system supports visually generated schemes and dynamically simulates water resources allocation. The application of the simulation system enhances the reliability of results. And the dynamic adaptability of allocation results supports allocation decisions. HIGHLIGHTS Integrated application of multiple allocation methods can make up for the limitations of a single method.; The dynamic simulation system of water allocation helps to improve the adaptability of allocation schemes.; The horizontal comparison of various model schemes provides better decision support for water resources allocation.;
