Abstract

This paper is based on the author’s research on water resources value evaluation and pricing, and focuses on establishing a water pricing model using fuzzy mathematics. The Fuzzy Quantitative Analytical Method with a case study using this model are studied. The author hopes to achieve a representative water pricing method to support the Water Authority in Shanghai to establish appropriate water pricing policies which can help to ensure efficient use of water and to protect water resources.
