Challenges for Integrated Water Resources Management: How Do We Provide the Knowledge to Support Truly Integrated Thinking?
The ideas of good governance through integrated water resources management (IWRM) are predicated on bringing together our understanding of water from many domains, thus the provision of knowledge and information is an important part of any enabling environment. Strategies put forward so far have been based on developing systems to integrate existing data from many sources then using different a...
متن کاملIntegrated water resources management: evolution, prospects and future challenges
This paper analyzes the evolution of the concept of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) at international conferences over the past three decades and addresses the prospects of IWRM in resolving the current water crisis. It also identifies seven crucial challenges to implementing IWRM. Our rivers and aquifers are the life-blood of the planet. To achieve sustainable development, we must ...
متن کاملDecision Support Systems for Integrated Water Resources Management with an Application to the Nile Basin
This article presents decision support system (DSS) guidelines for water resources planning and management in systems with multiple objectives, multiple disciplines, and multiple decision makers. The guidelines are based on experience with DSS development in Africa, Europe, and the US. A prototype DSS for water resources planning in the Nile Basin is also described. The article advocates that t...
متن کاملModelling 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...
متن کاملNeuro-dynamic Programming for the Efficient Integrated Water Resources Management
Design of policies within the integrated water resources management (IWRM) paradigm demands to take into account multiple objectives such as flood protection, water supply for hydropower generation, irrigation and urban use, imposition of minimum environmental flows, etc.. Finding efficient water management policies is a demanding task and Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) can provide an eff...
