Water Resources Planning and Management
Description
The course material applies economics, operations research, management science, systems modeling and analysis, and statistics to water resources problems for the design, analysis, operation, and management of various types of water projects. The tools used are meant for water quantity management. The design and operations of hydro systems are addressed, using operation research techniques such as linear programming, dynamic programming, nonlinear programming, and simulation modelling.Learning Outcomes
- Formulate and solve linear programming (LP) problems.- Apply dynamic programming methods to water resources problems.
- Formulate and solve nonlinear programming (NLP) problems.
- Explain the principles of river basin management models, apply a commercial basin model, and analyze its output.
- Apply system dynamics methods to water management problems.
