The Role of Decision Support Systems and Models in Integrated River Basin Management
Global Water Partnership | 2013
The world's water issues are increasing in number, coverage and intensity and leading to a lack of water security. The availability of water in acceptable quality and quantity for human needs and for natural systems is paramount for sustaining life. Availability is under a constantly increasing threat from demands created by, amongst other factors, increasing populations, economic sector activities and requirements for environmental sustainability. Allocation issues at local, national and transboundary levels will become more and more contentious and flood and drought risks will be exacerbated by climate change. The IWRM approach has been developed to meet such challenges and to resolve such issues. IWRM assumes a governance system that is based on policy and legislation, institutional roles and a set of management instruments. Model...
Basin Water Allocation Planning. Principles, Procedures and Approaches for Basin Allocation Planning
Robert Speed, Li Yuanyuan, Tom Le Quesne, Guy Pegram and Zhou Zhiwei | 2013
This document consists of two parts. Part A introduces the philosophy and key elements of the water allocation process, and describes a framework for the allocation of water at a basin scale. Part B provides a more detailed description of some of the key steps involved in implementing the allocation framework. It includes chapters on approaches o determining the water available for allocation; assessing environmental water requirements, and approaches to implementing these through allocation plans; and the use of economic modelling and assessments to support water allocation planning.
