An integrated system for water resources monitoring, economic evaluation and management

An integrated system for water resources monitoring, economic evaluation and management

Today an integrated and complete system for the monitoring and management of water resources for a whole river basin does not exist. This paper presents the characteristics and showcases the design of such a system. The core of the system is based on water quality monitoring and risk management. This paper also highlights the need for the economic evaluation of water resources services, and pre...

A Simulation Library for an Integrated Water Resources Management

Modelling the Combined Socio-technical System to Support an Adaptive Approach for Integrated Water Resources Management

Water systems evolve through time, changing constantly due to physical pressures or as a result of how we manage them. Changing socio-economic conditions drastically increase the uncertainty associated with such changes, particularly with regards to the outcome of water resources management decisions. There is an increasing need for such uncertainties to be recognised and addressed by more adap...

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...

Evaluation of WEAP-MODFLOW Model as an Integrated Water Resources Management Model for Sustainable Development (A Case Study: Gharesoo at Doab-Merek, Kermanshah, Iran)

This paper evaluated an integrated water resources management approach through linked WEAP-MODFLOW model. Study area is Ravasnar-Sanjabi plain located in Kermanshah province in the west of Iran. A MODFLOW model was evaluated and then, accepted as a groundwater model for the region in present research. Schematic WEAP model was provided as representing general features of water resources system a...
