Synergetic Theory-Based Water Resource Allocation Model

Abstract

To promote the harmonious development of human and water resources, the scarcity and ecological value of water resources should be considered in water resource allocation. In this paper, synergetic theory was applied to the process of water resource allocation, and we constructed a synergetic theory-based water resource allocation model by investigating the synergetic principle of each link of water resource allocation. The objective equation was established for determining the optimal comprehensive benefit of the composite system. Multidimensional constraint conditions were constructed from the perspective of the social benefit, economic benefit and ecological benefit of water supply, and balance equations were established. Order parameters were selected for the social, economic and ecological subsystems, and the order degrees of the three subsystems and the synergetic degrees of allocation schemes were calculated by using the fuzzy mathematics method to provide a basis for the recommendation of an optimal scheme. Finally, we proposed a multicycle iterative algorithm to realize the overall objective of "harmonious development between humans and water resources", which provides an effective calculation tool for water resource synergetic allocation. This model was applied in Jilin, and an optimal scheme was recommended on the basis of a synergetic degree analysis, which shows that the water supply of conventional water sources will be saved by an increase in the reclaimed water supply. In addition, after the implementation of an external diversion project by 2030, the amount of groundwater withdrawal will be gradually reduced, and the water deficit rate will be significantly reduced.

Competitive advantage, relationship, and benefit: Primary and secondary influencing factors of supply chain collaboration in China’s advanced manufacturing industry

“…Resources, elements, and benefits are also reflected in the theory of comparative advantage. The theory of comparative advantage essentially states that, in the face of international trade and the gap in productivity levels between countries, countries tend to export products with comparative advantage and import products with comparative disadvantage [ 48 ]. This allows each country to save labor, gain specialization, increase production efficiency, and ensure that each country maximizes the benefits of its own product market [ 49 ].…”

“…But this approach has the problem of limited scope of reference, and such apparent reasoning is contrary to the underpinning logic of “dominating the system to produce qualitative changes” of sequential parameters. The elements emphasized in the theory of comparative advantage are the same as those emphasized in the synergistic nature of the economic system in the study of synergetics [ 47 , 48 ], but there is no research to point out and use the relationship between the two theories. Therefore, the current way of determining the influencing factors of advanced manufacturing SCC does not take into account the requirements of synergetics for the existence of their influencing capabilities.…”

“…A review of the literature shows that the commonalities between the theory of comparative advantage and synergetics in terms of application scenarios, theoretical content, and the role of theoretical points reveal that the driving basis for effective collaboration among the components within a system is the gap in resource endowment advantage, factor mobility, and profit maximization [ 47 , 48 ]. The gap in resource endowment advantage manifests itself as a competitive advantage [ 32 ].…”

A Novel Prediction and Planning Model for the Benefit of Irrigation Water Allocation Based on Deep Learning and Uncertain Programming

“…The proposed model considers maximizing the minimum satisfaction degree of each water sector, maximizing the utilization efficiency of water resources in the basin, and maximizing economic benefits. Shen et al [6] constructed a synergetic theory-based water resource allocation model by investigating the synergetic principle of each link in the allocation of water resources. The objective equation was established for determining the optimal comprehensive benefit of the composite system.…”

A Water Resources Collaborative Allocation Model for the Composite Water Resources-Socioeconomic-Eco-Environment System

“…Now, the focus has shifted from considering only water quantity into thoroughly considering the economic, environmental and ecological demands, and much theoretical and practical progress has been made in this field (Afzal et al 1992;Fleming et al 1995;Rmcwmb 1997;River Murray Catchment Water Management Board.1997;Percia et al1997;Wang et al 1998;Xie et al 2000;Tewei et al 2001;Xie et al 2002;Wang et al 2003;Yang et al 2003;Zhao et al 2007;Jiang et al 2008;Zhou et al 2009). It is noted that, despite the recognition of the need to consider the economic, environmental and ecological water demand and supply in water resources allocation, previous studies have focused specifically on the optimization algorithms for water resources allocation and the water demand of the eco-environment system and, more importantly, the water resources, economy, society, and eco-environment systems are considered in isolation without integrating them into a composite system (Zhou 2015;Wang et al 2017&2019;Shen et al 2021) .…”
