Regional Water Resource Allocation Problem in Multi-agent Game: Taking the Water Rights Transfer as Example

摘要

Regional water resource allocation problem (RWRAP) is a growing concern in the world where limited resources like fresh water are in greater demand by more parties. Cooperation over allocations often involves multiple groups who own different disparate social, economic and political status, seeking a management solution for a wide range of demands. In this study, a multi-agent model is developed for tackling a RWRAP on the basis of the water rights transfer in a regional level. In contrast to previous studies, this paper designs rules of multi-agent cooperation in water rights transfer to ensure the equity of water resource allocation, which always exists unfair phenomenon. Finally, through analysis of model application in water rights transfer, we prove the model is viable and efficient.
