Abstract:
      Sustainable utilization of water resources can be considered as a decisive issue of multi-hierarchy and multi-index. In order to scientifically judge the sustainable degree of the utilization of water resources in Sichuan Province, based on the theory of sustainable development, and integrated with the primary characteristics of the region investigated, this essay chooses the socio-economic, ecological, and water resources status, as well as the degree of the water resources utilization to evaluate the level of sustainable water resources utilization. The Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) is applied to determine the relative weight of each indicator, and the investigated region's relevant data is adopted to calculate the quantitative values of them. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation index is defined to quantitatively evaluate the sustainable degree of water resources utilization of the investigated region. According to the data from 2000~2006, the four aspects we chose is calculated, which remain in a relatively and commonly level of sustainable utilization. The comprehensive evaluation of sustainable water resources utilization of Sichuan province is remains in a commonly level. So series of measures should be taken to raise the degree of sustainable water resources utilization.
