Basic equations and model construction of human-water relationship discipline
The human-water relationship is one of the most important relationships between human and nature.The human-water relationship discipline is a new interdisciplinary subject that studies the human-water relationship.Developing basic equations and models is one of the core contents of in-depth research on human-water relationship.Based on previous research and interdisciplinary findings,this study proposes the"four processes"in the human-water system(the water cycle process,the material cycle process,the biological process,and the humanistic process).The basic equations,the coupling and calculation method of the"four processes"are summarized and presented.The framework for constructing a distributed human-water relationship model considering the"four processes"and the construction idea of human-water relationship simulator are proposed.An application case study in the Qinhe River Basin is also provided.The"four processes"in the human-water system are important foundations for characterizing the human-water relationship.The basic equations of the"four processes"are the fundamental equations for studying the human-water relationship discipline.The model constructed by coupling basic equations is an important tool for simulating human-water relationship issues.This study lays the foundation for further improving the human-water relationship discipline and provides ideas for in-depth research on the human-water relationship model.
