An Integrated Water Resources and Economic Approach for Optimizing Water Allocation Policies

Integrated Water Allocation-Economic Modelling at a Catchment Scale

Rapid economic and population growth has led to increased demand for water from the industrial and domestic sectors and put pressure on resources available for agricultural production. With growing scarcity and increasing inter-sectorial competition for water the need for efficient and sustainable water allocation policies has also become more important. Finding ways to meet this growing demand...

A mixed integer optimisation approach for integrated water resources management

In areas lacking substantial freshwater resources, the utilisation of alternative water sources, such as desalinated seawater and reclaimed water, is a sustainable alternative option. This paper presents an optimisation approach for the integrated management of water resources, including desalinated seawater, wastewater and reclaimed water, for insular water deficient areas. The proposed mixed ...

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...
