Agriculture sector in India accounts for nearly 80% of fresh water and 30% of energy consumption. In other developing countries also, available water and energy resources are already under considerable stress and there is ...

Efficient design and operation of water resource systems is a challenging task in many real world applications. Many issues related to water resources require the solutions of optimization. As computers have become more ...

Typical goals of water resources managers include maximizing the benefit due to use of water for municipal and industrial uses, crop and energy production, recreation, environmental and ecological improvement; and minimizing ...

Optimization models have proved to be powerful and useful methods to solve the design and operation problems associated with reservoir problems. A heuristic simulation based optimization model has been developed to optimize ...

Water Resources Planning and Management focuses on an integration and consideration of key water management issues that are important on watershed and sub-basin scale. The methodology is facilitated by active use of ...

The role of reservoirs to transfer in time water from wet to dry periods is particularly important for water supply systems located in drought-prone areas. Impacts of natural variability of water availability on different ...

Until recently, aquifers located in hard rock formations (granite, gneiss, schist) were considered as highly heterogeneous media, and adequate methodologies for groundwater management or borehole siting were non-existent. ...
