Construction of Water Resources Utilization Efficiency Evaluation Index System Based on Cloud Model

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for selecting indexes based on cloud model. The natural language qualitative evaluation of water resources utilization efficiency (WRUE) indexes from several experts were converted into quantitative score values. The randomness and fuzziness of conversion process could be fully reflected. Based on the basic index set of WRUE and fifty experts` comments, cloud model was used to calculate each index`s value. Finally, eight indexes covering overall, agricultural, industrial and living industry were selected to construct the evaluation index system. Cloud model is convenient, objective, and the calculation process is simple. The construction of evaluation index system lays a good foundation for the evaluation of WURE.
