Abstract:
      The groundwater resources carrying capacity was assessed through the fuzzy comprehensive assessment model. The results showed that the assessment value of most areas in Xi'an was less than 0.5. The top score was 0.5279 in Zhouzhi County, while Gaoling County scored the lowest and its value was only 0.2573. The groudwater resources carrying capacity was generally low, which had become an obstacle to the sustainable development of Xi'an. According to the current situation of water resources in this region, the carrying capacity of groundwater can be enhanced through the following aspects: inter-basin wate r transfer, artificial recharge of undergroundwater, water saving and the improvement of management and supervision.
