With the pressure of population growth and environmental pollution, it is particularly important to develop and utilize water resources more rationally, safely, and efficiently. Due to safety concerns, the government today adopts a pessimistic method, single factor assessment, for the evaluation of domestic water quality. At the same time, however, it is impossible to grasp the timely comprehensive pollution status of each area, so effective measures cannot be taken in time to reverse or at least alleviate its deterioration. Thus, the main propose of this paper is to establish a comprehensive evaluation model of water quality, which can provide the managers with timely information of water pollution in various regions. After considering various evaluation methods, this paper finally decided to use the fuzzy support vector machine method (FSVM) to establish the model that is mentioned above. The FSVM method is formed by applying the membership function to the support vector machine. However, the existing membership functions have some shortcomings, so after some improvements in these functions, a new membership function is finally formed. The model is then tested on the artificial data, UCI dataset, and water quality evaluation historical data. The results show that the improvement is meaningful, the improved fuzzy support vector machine has good performance, and it can deal with noise and outliers well. Thus, the model can completely solve the problem of comprehensive evaluation of water quality.
