Abstract

With the advances in remote sensing and computing technology, water resource sustainability evaluation is ingested with high volume data acquired from heterogeneous sources. However, traditional theories and methods for comprehensive water resources sustainability evaluation are challenged by the large quantity, high velocity, and high diversity of those data sets. In this paper, we propose a framework for big data analytics based water resource sustainability evaluation. We build a prototype for regional water resource sustainability evaluation based on big data of regional economic and social development. We build the relationship between economic development and water demand is modeled through regression analysis on water vertical industrial usage distribution, population, and water supply capacity. In our prototype, users can model and predict regional water resource demand and sustainability under constraints of population and industrial development. Results show that the proposed prototype can be used to evaluate regional water resource sustainability and environmental performance in practice and provide scientific basis and guidance to formulate water supply policies.
