Abstract:

With the development of the social economy, the contradiction between the supply and demand of urban water resources has become increasingly prominent. Exploring the balance between urban water resource supply and demand to achieve sustainable economic development has emerged as a critical issue in urban development planning. Based on the current state of local social development, four water resource supply-demand balance schemes (steady-state equilibrium, economic growth, efficient utilization, and comprehensive coordination)were designed using the system dynamics method. The supply and demand situation of water resources in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, China from 2016 to 2035 was analyzed. The simulation results indicate that: (1) If Bayannur City adopts the steady-state equilibrium or economic growth schemes, it will likely face a risk of water resource supply failing to meet demand during 2018—2027. (2) The efficient utilization and integrated coordination schemes can effectively mitigate this issue. (3) The comprehensive coordination scheme not only supports local economic development but also significantly reduces the water demand of agriculture, secondary industry, and tertiary industry, thereby alleviating the pressure on water supply and demand. This scheme can serve as the optimal approach for the future development and utilization of local water resources.
