Abstract

Reasonable water resources allocation is an important control measure for region sustainable development and water resources utilization, which key problem is how to handily determine weights of region water resources allocation. For this purpose, a new scheme for determining weights of region water resources allocation, named MRIEM for short, was proposed to mine objective information of sub-regions and experience of experts during the water resources allocation process based on the principle of minimum relative information entropy. The research results show that as a meta-synthesis method for determining weights of region water resources allocation with distinct concept of mathematics and physics, MRIEM is handy and universal, its computation result is objective and reasonable, so it can widely be applied to theory and practice of different systems engineering.
