Basinwide water management: a spatial model

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...

Spatial water management under alternative institutional arrangements (A case study of coastal lands of Yengejeh Dam)

Currently, water demand management and optimal operation of its resources is one ofthe most important issues in environmental economics and management.

This study aims to investigate water demand management in different productmarkets in downstream of Yengejeh Dam in Neyshabur. This is an...

Model Predictive Control for Operational Water Management Model Predictive Control for Operational Water Management

SUMMARY W ater is needed everywhere to satisfy domestic, agricultural and industrial water demands, to maintain navigation systems, and to preserve healthy and sustainable ecosystems. In order to protect us from floods and to reallocate water resources in a man-made environment, the 'hardware', water-related structures, is constructed in many water systems. However, the 'software', suitable con...
