Abstract: In the process of economic development, the exploitation and utilization of resources has played an important role, but the subsequent post-mining collapse and the shortage of land resources have affected future reconstruction to a certain extent. Currently, there is a firm belief in sustainable development and its goals to be achieved in the future. Based on the concept of sustainable development, this paper examines the feasibility of rebuilding channels under adverse geological conditions, and studies whether there are risks and the degree of risk. According to the characteristics of the experts’ judgment language and the ambiguity and randomness between various factors, it is proposed that a cloud model is used to improve the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) risk assessment method. At the same time, the traditional matter–element theory is improved through the cloud model, so that the impact of uncertainty and randomness can be comprehensively considered in the evaluation; finally, forming the risk assessment system of the cloud-based AHP and cloud-based matter–elements. The application of examples shows that, compared with the methods in the relevant literature, the evaluation results of this article are more objective, more accurate, have better applicability, and play an important guiding role in channel construction under adverse geological conditions.
