Abstract

In this paper, we develop three models to simulate the water resources allocation of Lake Powell and Lake Powell. Specifically, based on the objective function and constraints, a multi-objective programming model for hydropower balance is established. The distribution of 4 water quantities is obtained by genetic algorithm. In addition, we established a model for the optimal allocation of regional water resources, and we used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to obtain geographic location weights of 0.6 and 0.4 for Lake Mead and Lake Powell, respectively. Further, we establish the target model of the comprehensive benefit of water shortage, and obtain the optimal water resource allocation ratio under the condition of water shortage. Finally, a sensitivity analysis of the model was performed.
