Abstract
In order to implement national management of water resources and strive to comprehensively promote the construction of a water-saving society, this study chose the construction of a water-saving society in Guizhou Province as the research object, investigating the impact of water resources, economic conditions, and water-saving potential on the water-saving society in Guizhou region. Firstly, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to calculate the weights of water resources, socio-economic factors, and water-saving potential. Secondly, the entropy weight method is applied to calculate the weights of water resources, economy, and water-saving potential in Guizhou Province, and the behavioral TOPSIS method is used to calculate the proximity and conduct sensitivity analysis. Finally, the level of water-saving society construction in Guizhou Province was calculated based on AHP and entropy weight method. The research results indicate that the water-saving level in Guiyang city is level three, while the water-saving level in other areas of Guizhou is level four. Guizhou Province has made certain achievements in the construction of a water-saving society, but due to the influence of its karst topography, the construction of a water-saving society has been greatly hindered, resulting in a relatively low overall level. Due to its location in the subtropical region of southern China, Guizhou has an annual rainfall higher than the national average. Although its water resources are relatively good, its economy is relatively weak, and its water-saving potential is enormous. With the continuous development of the economy and the continuous growth of per capita income, it is recommended to prioritize the construction of a water-saving society in urban sustainable development, laying the foundation for the economic development of Guizhou Province and providing reference for the construction of a water-saving society in the region.
