Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drought management technology, and in particular to a method and related equipment for determining drought assessment values. Background Technology

[0002] Drought assessment is a core foundation for water resource management and emergency dispatch, directly impacting the scientific rigor, timeliness, and accuracy of drought relief decisions. Among related technologies, assessments of socio-economic drought primarily employ the total balance method at the administrative region level. This involves calculating the regional comprehensive supply-demand gap rate by statistically analyzing the difference between the total water supply (surface water, groundwater, and externally diverted water) and the total water demand (domestic, industrial, and ecological water use) within a specific administrative region, thereby classifying drought levels. For example, both City A and City B have a comprehensive supply-demand gap rate of 0.3 (indicating severe drought). However, City A has a uniform gap of 0.3 across its entire region, while City B has a gap of 0.9 in one-third of its area (indicating extremely severe drought) and no gap in two-thirds. This makes it impossible to distinguish the severity of drought in City A and City B. Furthermore, the impact of localized extreme drought in City B on people's livelihoods and the economy is far greater than in City A, failing to objectively reflect the true level of socio-economic drought and resulting in a lack of targeted decision-making.

[0003] In summary, the technical problems existing in the relevant technologies need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Figure 1 This is an optional flowchart of the drought assessment value determination method provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 The method may include, but is not limited to, steps S101 to S104.

[0024] Step S101: Based on the distribution of water supply sources in the assessment area, divide the area into one or more water supply units, wherein the water supply coverage area of ​​each water supply source is defined as the unit area of ​​the water supply unit.

[0025] This embodiment forms the basis for achieving refined assessment. Its core lies in breaking away from the limitations of traditional administrative boundaries and instead dividing assessment units based on the physical network structure of the water supply system and actual water supply relationships. Dividing water supply units requires the comprehensive use of multi-source data to ensure the accuracy of the boundaries. The main data sources include: Water supply planning map: clearly defines the planned water supply area and major water users of each water source.

[0026] Water source distribution map: Marks the location and basic information of reservoirs, river intakes, groundwater sources, etc.

[0027] Water supply network topology diagram: It reflects the connection relationship, pipe diameter and flow direction of water transmission pipelines and is the key to determining the water supply coverage area.

[0028] Water user profile: includes user location, water usage type (domestic, industrial, agricultural, etc.), and information on the registered main water supplier.

[0029] Geographic Information System (GIS) base map: provides a basic geospatial framework.

[0030] The physical water supply coverage area of ​​a single primary water source serves as the boundary for division. Within a water supply unit, the water needs of the vast majority of users (typically exceeding 80%) should be met by that primary water source. This ensures the relative independence and consistency of supply and demand within the unit. Each water supply unit has one and only one clearly defined primary water source. For example, an area supplied by a specific reservoir through an independent pipeline network can be classified as a water supply unit.

[0031] In actual water supply systems, a region may be served by multiple water sources, or a backup water source may be activated in an emergency. To address the ambiguity of traditional methods in this scenario, this invention explicitly adopts the principle of prioritizing the primary water supply source for attribution determination. Specifically, the process involves consulting the primary water supply unit registered in the user's file and attributing all of the user's water consumption (regardless of the source) to the corresponding water supply unit. The water supply from auxiliary water sources (such as emergency water diversion or groundwater replenishment) is included in the total water supply from the primary water supply unit of the user's unit. This rule originates from the provisions regarding the responsible entities for water supply services in the "Urban Water Supply Regulations," has a management practice basis and rationality, effectively avoids the problem of double-counting or undercounting of water supply, and standardizes the logic of supply and demand calculation.

[0032] After the division is completed, a boundary vector map (GIS layer) of the water supply units should be generated, and a unique number should be assigned to each unit. At the same time, a unit attribute table should be established to record basic information such as the type of its main water supply source (e.g., Reservoir A) and the main user types covered (domestic / production / ecological), laying the foundation for subsequent data collection and analysis.

[0033] Step S102: Collect the total water supply data and total water demand data of each water supply unit within the preset evaluation period, and calculate the drought deficit rate of each water supply unit based on the total water supply data and the total water demand data.

[0034] Total water supply (W) 供i This refers to the total water volume actually supplied to the i-th water supply unit within a preset assessment period (such as one month or one quarter). Data should come from the water plant's metering at the outlet, flow meters at key nodes of the pipeline network, or aggregated data from users' smart water meters. It must cover the water supply from the main water source and all auxiliary water sources, and be calculated separately according to water source type (surface water, groundwater, and externally diverted water) and then summed to support more in-depth analysis.

[0035] Total water demand (W) 需i Water demand refers to the total water volume required for the i-th water supply unit to operate normally within the same assessment period. Water demand is a concept based on standards, planning, or forecasts, and typically includes: Domestic water demand: daily water use by residents and water use for public services (schools, hospitals, commerce, etc.).

[0036] Water demand for production: water for industrial production and water for agricultural irrigation.

[0037] Ecological water demand: The amount of water required to maintain the basic ecological functions of the river channel, wetland health, and groundwater recharge.

[0038] These data can be obtained from local water resources departments' water use statistics ledgers, water resources bulletins, economic and social development statistical yearbooks, and relevant planning documents.

[0039] The formula for calculating the drought deficit rate (G_i) of the i-th water supply unit is: (1) The Max() function ensures that the deficit rate is 0 when supply exceeds demand, which is consistent with the definition of drought as a water shortage event. G i The value ranges from [0, 1], with a larger value indicating a more severe water shortage in the unit. For example, G i =0.3 indicates that 30% of the water demand of this unit is not being met.

[0040] The success of this step relies on an effective data acquisition module. This module should be able to connect to hydrological monitoring stations, water supply company SCADA systems, smart water meter platforms, and statistical department databases to achieve W 供i and W 需i Automated or semi-automated data collection and verification reduce human intervention and improve efficiency and accuracy.

[0041] Step S103: Obtain the preset evaluation index data of each water supply unit, and determine the weight of each water supply unit based on the evaluation index data using the entropy weight-variance coefficient coupling weighting method. The purpose of this embodiment is to objectively and scientifically quantify the differences in importance of different water supply units in regional drought assessment, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional methods that rely on subjective assignment or simple averaging.

[0042] The weighting is based on objective indicators that reflect the socioeconomic importance and drought sensitivity of a unit. A preferred indicator system includes: Resident population density (P): Total resident population within a unit divided by the unit area (unit: people / square kilometer). Drought in densely populated areas has a wide-ranging impact and poses a high risk to social stability, thus requiring greater attention. Data is sourced from statistical yearbooks or population censuses.

[0043] GDP per capita (G): Total GDP within a unit divided by the resident population (unit: 10,000 yuan / person). Regions with high economic output experience greater economic losses due to drought, thus placing a higher priority on water supply security. Data sourced from local statistical bulletins.

[0044] Domestic water use percentage (L): The percentage of domestic water demand within a unit relative to total water demand (%). Domestic water use is essential for basic livelihoods, and its shortage has a far greater social impact than production or ecological water use, making it the highest priority water use type in drought emergency responses. Data is sourced from water use records of the water resources department.

[0045] These three indicators characterize the importance of a unit from three dimensions: social impact, economic impact, and water use sensitivity. All are positive indicators; that is, the higher the indicator value, the higher the weight the unit should generally have in drought assessment. In practical applications, other relevant indicators can be added or replaced depending on the specific circumstances of the assessment area. The specific calculation process includes: 1. Implementation steps of the coupling weighting method: Assuming there are n water supply units and m evaluation indicators, forming the original data matrix .

[0046] a) Data standardization processing: Because the indicators have different dimensions and orders of magnitude, standardization is necessary to eliminate their influence. For positive indicators, the range standardization formula is used: (2) in, and These are the maximum and minimum values ​​of the j-th indicator across all units, respectively. After standardization, all indicator values... All fall within the [0,1] interval. If a negative indicator exists, then... (3) Standardize the matrix. Let the standardized matrix be denoted as . .

[0047] b) Calculate the index weights (W) using the entropy weight method 1j ): The entropy weight method uses information entropy to measure the degree of disorder in indicator data. The smaller the entropy value, the greater the difference between different units of the indicator, the more information it provides, and the greater the weight it should be given.

[0048] Calculate the feature weight of the i-th unit under the j-th indicator: (4) Calculate the information entropy of the j-th indicator: (5) in ,make sure .

[0049] Calculate the utility value of the j-th indicator: . The larger the value, the more important the indicator.

[0050] Normalization yields the entropy weight method weights: (6) c) Calculation of index weights (W) using the coefficient of variation method 2j ): The coefficient of variation method directly uses the dispersion of index data to assign weights.

[0051] Calculate the mean of the j-th indicator. and standard deviation .

[0052] Calculate the coefficient of variation of the j-th indicator: (7) The larger the value, the more significant the relative differences between different units, and the stronger the distinguishing ability.

[0053] Normalization yields the weights obtained using the coefficient of variation method. (8) d) Coupling weight fusion: To balance the information content of the indicators and the degree of data variability, the weights obtained from the two methods are combined. A preferred and robust fusion method is to take the arithmetic mean: (9) Generally acceptable This indicates that both methods are equally important. In practical applications, the α value can be adjusted based on the assessment of the reliability of the two methods.

[0054] This is the final coupling weight of the j-th evaluation index.

[0055] e) Calculate the comprehensive weight of the unit (W) i ): The final weight W of the unit i Its standardized index values Coupling weights with corresponding indicators The weighted sum and determination reflect the unit's overall performance across all importance dimensions.

[0056] First, calculate the importance score for each unit: (10) The importance scores of all units are normalized to obtain the final weight of each unit: (11) make sure To prevent the weights from being too concentrated or dispersed, a reasonable range of values ​​can be set (such as 0.05 to 0.3), which can be achieved naturally through the normalization process or with slight constraints.

[0057] Through the above steps, W i The determination of the weights is based entirely on objective data, avoiding the subjective arbitrariness of expert scoring methods, making the weight allocation more scientific and convincing, and truly reflecting the concept of data-driven decision-making.

[0058] Step S104: Calculate the comprehensive drought index of the assessment area based on the drought deficit rate and weight of each water supply unit.

[0059] In obtaining the drought deficit rate G for each water supply unit i and its objective weight W i Then, the comprehensive index I, which reflects the overall drought level of the assessed area, can be calculated.

[0060] The calculation formula is as follows: (12) Where n is the total number of water supply units. This formula is essentially a weighted average of the drought deficit rates of all units, with weights W. i This reflects the different contributions of water shortages in different units to the overall regional drought. Severe water shortages in a high-weight unit will significantly increase the overall I value, which is consistent with the actual concerns of drought management (prioritizing key areas).

[0061] In some embodiments, after calculating the comprehensive drought index I, to further enhance the scientific rigor and decision support capabilities of the assessment, the method may further include: Based on the comprehensive drought index, combined with the dispersion index of drought deficit rate of each water supply unit and / or the proportion of extremely drought units, the final drought level of the assessment area is determined.

[0062] This step aims to address a key challenge in traditional assessment methods: situations where the overall index is the same but the drought distribution differs, such as the example of City A (uniform drought) and City B (localized extreme drought) mentioned in the background section. Specific indicators include: The dispersion index of drought deficit rate is usually expressed as standard deviation (σ). The calculation formula is as follows: (13) in, σ is the arithmetic mean of all units Gi (i.e., the unweighted average deficit rate). The larger the value of σ, the greater the difference in water deficit among units and the more uneven the drought distribution.

[0063] Extreme drought unit percentage (R): Based on drought management experience, the drought gap rate can be... Units with a water shortage rate exceeding 50% are defined as extremely arid units, where water use has been severely impacted. The formula for calculating the proportion R of extremely arid units is: (14) The R value directly reflects the extent to which a region has been devastated by water shortages.

[0064] The comprehensive drought index I reflects the overall level of water shortage, while the standard deviation σ and the proportion of extreme drought R characterize the spatial distribution structure of water shortage. The final determination of the drought level requires combining all three factors.

[0065] A preliminary drought level classification standard based on the comprehensive drought index I can be established, for example: 0 ≤ I < 0.1: Mild drought 0.1 ≤ I < 0.2: Moderate drought 0.2 ≤ I < 0.3: Severe drought I ≥ 0.3: Extremely severe drought When the combined drought index I of two or more regions is the same or very close, σ and R need to be introduced for fine-grained discrimination. The judgment principle is: under the condition that the overall water shortage level is similar, the situation where the drought distribution is more concentrated and the proportion of extreme drought areas is higher, the actual harm and the urgency of emergency treatment are higher, and it should be judged as a more severe drought level.

[0066] Specifically, the following rules can be set: If the I value of region A is the same as that of region B, but the σ value and R value of region A are significantly greater than those of region B, then region A is determined to be more arid than region B.

[0067] When defining specific levels within the same I value range, σ and R can be used as adjustment factors. For example, within the "severe drought (0.2≤I<0.3)" range, it can be further specified that if σ ≥ 0.1 or R ≥ 10%, it is judged as "severe drought - concentrated type"; otherwise, it is "severe drought - uniform type".

[0068] In some embodiments, the method further includes: Generate a final drought level for the assessment area, the drought deficit rate and its weight for each water supply unit, a spatial distribution map of the drought deficit rate, and / or a list of extreme drought units.

[0069] The method also includes generating and outputting a comprehensive evaluation report. The report content includes: Overview of the assessment area and assessment period.

[0070] The final drought level and the basis for the determination (I, σ, R).

[0071] A detailed list of each water supply unit, including unit number, main water source, drought deficit rate (Gi), and weight (W). i ).

[0072] Spatial distribution map of drought deficit rate in water supply units: Each unit is rendered with different colors or shades on the GIS map to intuitively show drought hotspots.

[0073] List of localized drought hotspots: Extreme drought units (G) are specifically listed. i ≥ 0.5) and / or high-weighted high-gap-ratio cells (W i × G i (High value) provides a clear target for emergency dispatch.

[0074] Relevant data tables, a summary of the calculation process, and necessary explanations.

[0075] The report supports exporting to multiple formats such as Excel, Word, PDF, and images, making it easy to use on different platforms and in different scenarios.

[0076] The following is a detailed introduction and explanation of the solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with specific application scenarios: S1: According to the water supply plan of City X, five water supply units with a single water source (U1-U5) are divided. Among them, U1 (main water source: Reservoir A) covers the city center (mainly for domestic water use, population 400,000), U2 (main water source: River B) covers the industrial area (mainly for production water use, population 200,000), U3 (main water source: Groundwater C) covers the suburban agricultural area (mainly for agricultural water use, population 300,000), U4 (main water source: Reservoir D) covers the western residential area (population 200,000), and U5 (main water source: River E) covers the ecological protection area (mainly for ecological water use, population 100,000). U4 has an auxiliary water supply from River E. Following the principle of prioritizing the main water source, the auxiliary water supply volume is included in the W of U4. 供4 .

[0077] S2: Using water conservancy monitoring data and water usage statistics, obtain the total water demand and actual water supply for each unit in July and August 2025, and calculate the drought deficit rate G. i The results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0083] Table 4 Final Weight Values S7: Calculate the comprehensive drought index I I=(0.30×0.30)+(0.23×0.50)+(0.05×0.10)+(0.24×0.70)+(0.18×0.10)=0.09+0.115+0.005+0.168+0.018=0.396 In some special cases, the I value of city Y is the same as that of city X, and the G value is 5 units. i The values ​​are 0.35, 0.40, 0.38, 0.36, and 0.39 respectively (σ=0.018, R=0), while in City X, σ=0.21 and R=40%; Since σ (0.21) in City X is greater than σ (0.018) in City Y, and R (40%) in City X is greater than R (0) in City Y, it is determined that the drought in City X is more severe.

[0084] S8: Determine the final drought level City X has I=0.396≥0.3, σ=0.21≥0.2, and R=40%≥20%, which is classified as extremely severe drought. The overall I value for the administrative region was 0.38 (extremely severe drought), while the Gi values ​​of U2 and U4 (0.50 and 0.70, respectively) were significantly higher than the overall average (0.38). These were the core units driving the escalation of the regional drought level. Therefore, the local hotspots were U4 (G4=0.70, W4=0.24) and U2 (G2=0.50, W2=0.23), which is consistent with the actual drought scenario and verifies the effectiveness of the objective weighting method.

[0085] Based on on-site investigation and verification, the actual situation in City X during the assessment period is as follows: Due to persistent high temperatures and insufficient water storage in the main water source, Reservoir D, U4 (the western residential area) experienced a water supply shortage of up to 70%, leading to the implementation of time-based water supply measures, which significantly impacted residents' lives. U2 (the industrial zone) faced a water supply shortage of 50% due to low water flow from River B, forcing some water-intensive enterprises to reduce production. The assessment results of this invention closely match the actual situation. However, if the traditional administrative region total balance method is used, it can only calculate the overall supply-demand gap rate of City X to be approximately 0.38, classifying it as an extremely severe drought, but it cannot identify that the drought mainly occurred in the two key areas of U2 and U4, nor can it distinguish the essential differences between them and City Y.
