Integrated Planning of Urban Water Resources and Water Pollution Control Management: Case of Urumqi, China
Publication: Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management
Volume 142, Issue 6
Abstract
Water scarcity and aquatic environment deterioration have become increasingly serious problems in Urumqi, China. To alleviate the conflicts arising from competitive water users and retard the environment degradation, an optimization model was developed for regional water resources management under considering the dual total amount of water quantity and pollutant emissions control. Water allocation schemes and guarantee rates that combine diverse water sources and economic activities were obtained through the solutions of the proposed model. The interactions among water allocation schemes, various activities benefits, and pollutant emissions were analyzed synchronously. Policies for industrial structure adjustment and pollutants emission reduction were acquired through the analysis of the results. The modeling results can be valuable for water resources planning and justification of the existing industrial structure.
