Urban water usage spans diverse sectors, requiring effective management strategies to address increasing demand, limited supplies, and sector-specific needs. In this study, a multi-objective urban water resource allocation model is proposed to balance economic, ecological, and social benefits, focusing on social fairness. The model considers water availability, demand diversity, and environmental factors for optimized resource allocation. An improved zebra optimization algorithm-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (ZOA-MOEA/D) is developed, integrating zebraoptimization with a decomposition-based approach to overcome the traditional methods' limitations, improving solution diversity and convergence. ZOA-MOEA/D consistently outperforms the NSGA-II, MOPSO, and MOEA/D algorithms in solution distribution, convergence, quality, and diversity across multiple test scenarios. By applying the model to Ningbo, China, key trade-offs between economic growth, social fairness, living standards, and ecological protection are revealed. These findings provide useful insights into urban water resource management, offering a flexible framework for balancing multiple objectives and supporting sustainable development. Despite some limitations, the approach can contribute to the ongoing development of urban water resources.
