ABSTRACT
The level of water quality assessment is significant for preventing water pollution; many factors
influence its assessment. At first, the TOPSIS-GRA model is introduced; the comprehensive closeness
degree of different samples is calculated; finally, the quality level of groundwater is determined
based on the comprehensive closeness degree. The conclusions are drawn that results obtained using
the suggested method are consistent with the actual investigation for four samples. The accuracy reaches
100%, which is higher than the results from the traditional Matter-Element Extension Model (80%),
and estimating the quality level of groundwater using the suggested model is feasible. Since this
evaluation method fully utilizes sample data information and combines the advantages of gray
correlation analysis and the TOPSIS evaluation model, the evaluation results are more accurate
and reasonable than those of a single evaluation method. Therefore, it provides a new method and
thoughts to assess the quality level of groundwater in the future.
