Research on Optimal Allocation of Water Resources in Handan City Based on the Refined Water Resource Allocation Model

Abstract

In order to realize the dynamic regulation and control of regional water resources and alleviate the imbalance between supply and demand of regional water resources, on the basis of the demand of refined management of water resources, the dynamic General Water Allocation and Simulation Model (GWAS) of Handan City was constructed. The research on the optimal allocation of water resources in different regions and counties under different normal and dry years in the planning years (2025 and 2035) was carried out. The results show that the allocated water volume in the normal and dry years of Handan in 2025 is 2.248 billion m3 and 2.150 billion m3, respectively, and the water shortage rate is 11.72% and 22.11%, respectively. The water shortage is mainly in agriculture. In 2035, the allocated water volumes in normal and dry years will be 2.504 billion m3 and 2.33 billion m3, respectively, and the water shortage rates will be 4.50% and 21.84%, respectively. After optimized allocation, the water supply structure was significantly improved. The proportion of groundwater supply will decrease at each planning level year, and the water supply of external water transfer and unconventional water will increase. This research can provide technical reference to the Handan development scheme depending on water resources in the future, as well as the optimal allocation of water resources in other cities in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region.
