3. Results and discussions
S0 as the base line is used to verify the model and make it
predict the trends in economic development and WPD amount
more precisely. The GRP and WPD amount have been selected as
the indicators to calibrate the model. The deviations between the
simulation results and the actual data of GRP and WPD amount
from 2010 to 2013 have been examined as ±1.8% and ±2.8%
respectively, proving the accuracy and reliability of the simulation
model (see Fig. S5eS6 in Supplementary).
An empirical study taking a basin as the target area will be conducted
to demonstrate the reliability and applicability of this
model.
