Water Resources Systems Analysis

Focusing on conflict resolution, this book discusses approaches for the mathematical modeling of various water resources issues, helping decision-makers allocate water effectively and efficiently. It offers readers an understanding of simulation, optimization, multi-criterion decision-making, and engineering economics and time series analysis.

Focusing on conflict resolution, Water Resources Systems Analysis discusses systematic approaches to the mathematical modeling of various water resources issues, which helps decision-makers allocate water effectively and efficiently. Readers will gain an understanding of simulation, optimization, multi-criterion-decision-making, as well as engineering economics and time series analysis, all necessary for successful water systems analysis. The book explores recent developments in surface and groundwater systems optimization and modeling, and it relates these to real field applications and case studies. Supported by essential mathematical tools, this book gives current and future hydrologists, water resources managers, and civil engineers a logical reference for prioritizing and addressing critical issues such as flood control, power generation, and water quality management.
