(12) After the region is selected, it is first necessary to collect and sort hydrometeorological and natural topographic data in the region. The hydrometeorology includes rainfall and water system data of the region. The natural topographic data includes a soil infiltration coefficient, the area and percentage occupied by the underlying surfaces (a building roof, a road, a square, a green space, etc. in the region, the type and the coverage rate of green space vegetation, the rainwater utilization ratio, and the types of a built rainwater facility and regional industrial production. The high-precision GIS map uses the highest possible resolution and is updated in a timely manner. The h.sub.limit is the height limit of water level at the monitoring point.

(13) The model includes a rainfall model and a rainwater storage and retention model. In the rainfall model, Q.sub.total=Q.sub.roof+q.sub.road+Q.sub.square+Q.sub.green, where Q.sub.total is the total surface rainwater amount generated by rainfall in the region Q.sub.roof, Q.sub.road, Q.sub.square and Q.sub.green are respectively the rainwater amount of the rain fallen to the roof of all buildings, the road, the square and the green space in the region, and the rainfall in the model is calculated by the formula Q=α*s*h, where Q is the surface rainwater amount generated by rainfall, s is the calculated area of rainfall in the region, α is a runoff coefficient corresponding to the calculated area, and h is the rainfall. In the rainwater storage and retention model, V=V.sub.green+V.sub.infiltration+V.sub.fire+V.sub.storage, where V is the total amount of rainwater storable and retainable in the region, V.sub.green is the amount of rainwater storable and retainable in the green space of the region, V.sub.infiltration is the amount of rainwater infiltratable in the region, V.sub.fire is the amount of fire extinguishing water supplemented in the region, and V.sub.storage is the amount of rainwater storable in the region. The allocation system intelligently allocates the rainwater Q in the region according to the constraints of water quality, time, distance and degree of importance. In the normal case, when the water quality meets the requirements, the order of supply is V.sub.storage, V.sub.fire, V.sub.green, and V.sub.infiltration, and the allocation can be implemented according to Table 1 for different situations in different regions. After the model is established, the specific value of the height limit of water level h.sub.limit at the monitoring point and the amount of rainwater storable by the rainwater storage and retention system are calculated, i.e., V.sub.storage, V.sub.fire, V.sub.green, V.sub.infiltration. The basic database of the region is mainly composed of basic data of the GIS map, meteorology, topography, underlying surfaces, and water system and ditches of the region.
