Abstract: Advances in water resources allocation theory has led to significant improvements in the water resources allocation methods. Nowadays, as domestic energy demand increases sharply, it has led to an imbalance between supply and demand of the urban energy. Meanwhile the production, supply, and use of portable water, and wastewater collection, treatment and discharge consume a lot of energy. Hence, water resources allocation methods also need to be revised and improved accordingly. This paper discussed on the ideas and methods of water resources allocation based on the minimum energy consumption principles. It was concluded that the energy value theory will be utilized to analyze the energy consumption of water resource, and construct the energy consumption evaluation function. Moreover, an energy consumption constraint module should be coupled with an existing module, through modeling, in order to reduce the total artificial energy consumption in the process of water resources allocation
