Water Resource Carrying Capacity Based on Water Demand Prediction in Chang-Ji Economic Circle

Abstract

In view of the large spatial difference in water resources, the water shortage and deterioration of water quality in the Chang-Ji Economic Circle located in northeast China, the water resource carrying capacity (WRCC) from the perspective of time and space is evaluated. We combine the gray correlation analysis and multiple linear regression models to quantitatively predict water supply and demand in different planning years, which provide the basis for quantitative analysis of the WRCC. The selection of research indicators also considers the interaction of social economy, water resources, and water environment. Combined with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the gray correlation analysis and multiple linear regression models to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the WRCC under different social development plans. The developmental trends were obtained from 2017 to 2030 using four plans designed for distinct purposes. It can be seen that the utilization of water resource is unreasonable now and maintains a poor level under a business-as-usual Plan I. Plan II and Plan III show that resource-based water shortage is the most critical issue in this region, and poor water quality cannot be ignored either. Compared with Plan I, the average index of WRCC in Plan IV increased by 51.8% and over 84% of the regions maintain a good level. Strengthening sewage treatment and properly using transit water resources are more conducive to the rapid development of Chang-Ji Economic Circle.

Analysis of the marine resource environmental carrying capacity in Zhejiang Province based on the Pressure-Support and Destructiveness-Resilience and Degradation-Promotion (PS-DR-DP) model

“…The coupling degree model was corrected based on the original formula. In this study, it tried to make C within [0,1] to increase discrimination, and its equation is as follows (Wang et al, 2021):…”

A water quality assessment method based on an improved grey relational analysis and particle swarm optimization multi-classification support vector machine

“…Therefore, we need to calculate the correlation between different indicators, from which we can select the appropriate characteristics for water quality assessment. Commonly used correlation analysis methods include Pearson correlation coefficient analysis ( Zhang et al., 2022a ), Granger causality analysis ( Tang et al., 2020 ), and grey relational analysis ( Wang et al., 2020 ). Most indicators affecting water quality are grey and localized.…”

Integrated water risk early warning framework of the semi-arid transitional zone based on the water environmental carrying capacity (WECC)

“…Unlike the long-term early warning (three to five years) that is helpful for long-term planning, the short-term early warning (one to two years) is mainly used for assessing and predicting the water environmental situation in watershed management of the next year. Nevertheless, existing quantitative methods and models for the short-term early warning of the water environmental system are based mainly on the future trend prediction of single and independent early warning indicators and have rarely focused on the integrated change trends of the early warning indicators; these methods and models mainly include the variable fuzzy pattern recognition (VFPR) (Wang and Xu, 2015), autoregressive moving average model (ARMA) , multiple linear regression model (MLRM) (Wang et al, 2021), gray forecast model (GM) (Lu and Tang, 2019), and artificial neural networks (ANNs) (Maier et al, 2010;Yu et al, 2020;Cao et al, 2021;Chen et al, 2022). In actuality, however, the change in the socioeconomic system is cyclical and is affected by the quantity of flow (e.g., monthly, quarterly, and annual changes).…”
