Model (4) was used to solve the current optimal sectoral export adjustment scheme in Henan Province under the objectives of minimizing water outflow and maximizing labor compensation. Before solving the model, the values of the model parameters needed to be set. After consolidating the 42 sectors into 38 valid sectors, we found that 9 of the sectors in Henan Province took negative values for the average export change rate from 2012 to 2017, with an average value of −25%. The remaining 29 sectors have a positive growth rate with an average value of 37%. Given this, was set in the simulation. Since both water resources and economic development are important to people's lives, it is assumed that water resources have the same status as workers' compensation, and was set as a parameter. Finally, the optimal export adjustment scheme for Henan Province was found as shown in Table 3.
