A system dynamics approach for water resources management with focusing on domestic water demand

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

Using System Dynamics for Sustainable Water Resources Management in Singapore

To strive to full self-sufficiency in water, Singapore has invested heavily in desalination, wastewater reclamation (branded as NEWater), water catchment management and other similar projects. Among the many alternatives to augment Singapore’s water supply, decision-makers need to know which one is the most sustainable plan to pursue. This research project aims to demonstrate the usefulness of ...

Water-energy-food nexus as a new approach for watershed resources management: a review

Water Resources Management in the South of Kerman Province Using the System Dynamics Model

Integrated water resources management is recognized as one of the main needs of any society due to population growth and technological advancement. To implement integrated water resources management, modeling of this system is essential. On the other hand, water resources systems are highly complex and affected by various factors that are very difficult to identify and determine their role in w...

Integrated Analyses of Canada’s Water Resources: A System Dynamics Approach

An integrated water resources management model for Canada, CanadaWater, has been developed using the system dynamics simulation approach. The CanadaWater model takes into consideration dynamic interactions between quantitative characteristics of the available water resources and water use that are determined by the socio-economic development level, population and physiographic features of Canad...
