Water Resources Management and Planning under Uncertainty: an Inexact Multistage Joint-Probabilistic Programming Method

Li, Y.; Huang, G.; Nie, S. - In: Water Resources Management 23 (2009) 12, pp. 2515-2538

In this study, an inexact multistage joint-probabilistic programming (IMJP) method is developed for tackling … uncertainties presented as interval values and joint probabilities. IMJP improves upon the existing multistage programming and … violated within a multistage context. The developed method is applied to a case study of water-resources management within a …

Benefit-Cost Model for an Artificial Recharge Scenario in the San Joaquin Valley, California

Botzan, Tudor; Necula, Angelica; Mariño, Miguel; … - In: Water Resources Management 13 (1999) 3, pp. 189-203

A competitive irrigated agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley of California, under semiarid to arid climate and repetitive drought conditions, relies on groundwater resources to a great extent. As a result of rapid agricultural development and intense operation of ground water resources over the...

A Two-Step Infinite α-Cuts Fuzzy Linear Programming Method in Determination of Optimal Allocation Strategies in Agricultural Irrigation Systems

Lu, H.; Huang, G.; Lin, Y.; He, L. - In: Water Resources Management 23 (2009) 11, pp. 2249-2269

A two-step infinite α-cuts fuzzy linear programming (TSIFP) method is developed in this study. The introduction of infinite α-cuts to conventional fuzzy linear programming frameworks makes it possible to generate more reliable optimal results than conventional fuzzy linear programming, where...

Water and Pollution Discharge Permit Allocation to Agricultural Zones: Application of Game Theory and Min-Max Regret Analysis

Poorsepahy-Samian, Hamed; Kerachian, Reza; Nikoo, Mohammad - In: Water Resources Management 26 (2012) 14, pp. 4241-4257

This paper presents a new game theoretic methodology for water and discharge permit allocation to agricultural zones in shared rivers. The methodology consists of four main steps: (1) initial allocation of water rights and pollutant discharge permits, (2) forming possible coalitions and optimal...

A Comparative Study of Flexibility in Water Allocation in the Context of Hydrologic Variability

Zheng, Hang; Lyle, Clive; Wang, Zhongjing - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 3, pp. 785-800

River flow that is characterized by variability requires commensurate flexibility in allocating water so that water users are able to plan their activities and respond accordingly. An indicator-based assessment method is proposed in this study to evaluate the flexibility of water allocation,...

Optimal Allocation of Rainfall in the Sichuan Basin, Southwest China

Zhang, Weihua; Wei, Chaofu; Zhou, Jia - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 15, pp. 4529-4549

Traditional water allocation at a regional or basin scale can be too coarse to be used in a local area such as a village. For example, in the hilly area of Sichuan Basin the landform is fragmented and land use pattern consists of small farms. Furthermore, seasonal drought occurs frequently due...

The Impact of Institutional Path Dependence on Water Market Efficiency in Victoria, Australia

Harris, Edwyna - In: Water Resources Management 25 (2011) 15, pp. 4069-4080

Water governance in Australia’s irrigation sector has undergone substantial change over the last three decades. In part, this change has been the result of a shift in intellectual thinking regarding the pricing and allocation of irrigation water with a move away from primary reliance on...

An Optimization Approach for Multi-Sectoral Water Supply Management in the Greater Beirut Area

Yamout, G.; El-Fadel, M. - In: Water Resources Management 19 (2005) 6, pp. 791-812

This paper presents a model that was developed and applied to serve as a water supply multi-sectoral decision support system for water resources management taking economic and socio-environmental factors into consideration. The applicability of the model was tested in the Greater Beirut Area by...

Robust Methods for Identifying Optimal Reservoir Operation Strategies Using Deterministic and Stochastic Formulations

Ahmadi, Azadeh; Karamouz, Mohammad; Moridi, Ali - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 11, pp. 2527-2552

Water allocation in a competing environment is a major social and economic challenge especially in water stressed semi-arid regions. In developing countries the end users are represented by the water sectors in most parts and conflict over water is resolved at the agency level. In this paper,...
