DRIVING OPTIMUM TRADE-OFF BETWEEN THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF INTERBASIN WATER TRANSFER PROJECTS
Authors
Abstract:
The interbasin water transfer is a remedy to mitigate the negative issues of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions. In a water transfer project the receiving basin always benefits while, the sending basin may suffer. In this study, the project of interbasin water transfer from Dez water resources system in south-west of Iran to the central part of the contrary is investigated during a drought period. To this end, a multi-objective optimization model is developed based on the Non Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). The optimum trade-off between the water supply benefits into and out of the Dez River basin as well as energy production is derived. Formulating the problem as a multi-objective optimization provides a better insight into the gains and losses of a water transfer project. Analyzing the case study, revealed that to reach an acceptable level of reliability for meeting the water demands it is no longer possible to generate hydropower energy with high levels of reliability.

In large countries with sharp temporal and spatial variation in water resources, interbasin water transfer projects seem to be an ultimate solution to ease water shortage and secure a balanced economic development among different regions. However, such projects are prone to problems and controversies, and may challenge the established basin management, legal system and policy making procedure w...

Interbasin Water Transfer: Economic Water Quality-Based Model
The interbasin water transfer project is an alternative to balance the nonuniform temporal and spatial distribution of water resources and water demands, especially in arid and semi arid regions. A water transfer project can be executed if it is environmentally and economically justified. In this study, the feasibility of two interbasin water transfer projects from Karoon River in the western p...
