Abstract

Water resources allocation is subject to uncertain future conditions and therefore needs real-time correction. This study develops a framework of “assumption-simulation-feedback-adjustment” (ASFA) for real-time correction of water resources allocation. The assumption component constructs a water resources allocation model and generates initial allocation solution (IAS); the simulation component applies IAS in a real-time hydrological scenario; the performance information is input into the feedback component. Three feedback functions, including gain function, correlation function, and least square function, are employed to deal with the information, and the value of output gain is determined for the adjustment component. The result then is a feedback allocation solution (FAS). This study applied ASFA to Longgang River basin, China, as a case study, compared FASs generated by three different feedback functions as well as IAS. Results showed that FAS generated by the gain function (FAS_GF) performed better with a higher assurance rate and less risk of continuous water shortage. Results also showed that to achieve the same management requirement, FAS_GF had a lower requirement of the amount of diverted water, indicating that the ASFA framework can make better use of water resources and reduce the pressure of diverted water. The ASFA framework builds a feedback mechanism for real-time correction of water resources allocation, provides a novel perspective for addressing the challenge of future uncertainty, which significantly improves the solutions of water allocation.
