Abstract
Abstract Factors like intensive industrial and socio-economic development can lead to the deterioration of the water environment. At the same time, economic, social, and population sustainability rely on good water conditions in the river. Therefore, it is important to calculate the water environment capacity and allocate it accordingly. Our research selects the economic, social, and environmental factors to construct a water environment capacity allocation model using the analytic network process. Allocation results are as follows: there are Liaozhong County, Tiexi District, and Liaoyang County, where the water environment capacity allocation value exceeds 10 000 t/a at 18 336.25, 12 743.19, and 10 585.53 t/a, respectively. Dashiqiao City’s water environmental capacity allocation is the least, at only 78.30 t/a. In the paper, the goal to allocate water environment capacity from the three major rivers to the administrative area is achieved in Liaoning Province, thus making the allocation result more comprehensive and fairer. It provides a scientific basis for controlling the water environment in Liaoning Province.
