Evaluation and promotion strategy of resilience of urban water supply system under flood and drought disasters

Abstract

With global climate change and the rapid urbanization, urban flood and drought disasters are frequent and urban water supply systems are facing a sea of serious challenges. It is crucial to assess the resilience of urban water supply systems and develop corresponding disaster mitigation and improvement strategies. Urban water supply systems include many subsystems, but existing researches generally focus on a single subsystem. Therefore, this paper proposes a correlation analysis method and a factor analysis method for the resilience evaluation index system of urban water supply systems by combining each subsystem and applying grey system theory. The method can reflect the four dimensions of the water supply process (water source, water plant, supply and distribution network and users) and the five dimensions of the urban management system (society, natural environment, economy, physics and organization). Taking Qingdao as an example, a multi-level integrated evaluation model based on a cloud model is applied to simulate and analyze the resilience of Qingdao's water supply system. As a result, decision support is provided for planning and building resilience systems for urban water systems in the short and long term, based on four main factors.

“…In terms of resilience evaluation methods, scholars generally adopt the network analytic hierarchy process (ANP) [22][23][24][25], TOPSIS method [26][27][28][29][30][31], entropy weight method [9,[32][33][34][35], cloud model [36][37][38][39][40] and Bayesian network [41][42][43][44] to construct a resilience evaluation model.…”

Uncertainty quantification of multi-scale resilience in networked systems with nonlinear dynamics using arbitrary polynomial chaos

“…This ability is of great importance in reducing risks and mitigating damage 4 , 5 . Research on resilience of networks has attracted a lot of attention in recent years in a wide range of fields from nature to man-made networks, including blackouts in power systems 6 , failure of water supply system 7 to loss of biodiversity in ecology 8 . Whilst the past research on resilience gives us insight into how a few interacting components (small networks) work 5 , the loss of resilience in large-scale networked systems (e.g.…”
