This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last ten years, sustainable development has been discussed and debated by experts in a variety of disciplines. Although the concept and ideals of sustainable development are well understood, bridging the gap between theory and practice has been more difficult. One of the most pressing issues has been the measurement or evaluation of relative sustainability. While some methods have been proposed for incorporating sustainability considerations into the planning process, few have been tested in a practical setting that addressed the issues of data needs and feasibility. This research examined three sustainability criteria: reversibility, risk and equity in the context of groundwater use in the Assiniboine Delta Aquifer (ADA) region. The objectives of the study were to design a strategy for implementing the three sustainability criteria, to test the feasibility of the criteria, to recommend improvements to the criteria and to provide insight into the sustainability of groundwater use in the ADA region. The criteria were used to evaluate three separate policy structures that could be used to manage the aquifer. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book bridges disciplines, previously confined to specialist journal publications, by providing a comprehensive overview of the systems analysis application to water resources. It is ideal for Masters-level courses in Water Resources Engineering where modern management techniques of optimization and modelling are highly important in the strategic management of a vital resource.' - Derek Clarke, University of Southampton, UK 'The great novelty of this book is that it presents in detail how fuzzy-set theory can be used in water resource system management. The author was one of the pioneers who opened up this new field and is considered to be one of the greatest experts in it.' - Rodolfo Soncini Sessa, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Water resources management is increasingly interdisciplinary and must take into account complex socioeconomic factors and environmental variables. This book describes the 'systems approach' and its application to contemporary water resources management, focusing on three main sets of tools: simulation, optimization and multi-objective analysis. This approach is presented within the context of sustainable planning and development under conditions of uncertainty. Managing Water Resources: Methods and Tools for a Systems Approach introduces system dynamic simulation as a tool for integrated modelling and contains coverage of the use of fuzzy sets for incorporating objective and subjective uncertainties. The book combines theory with many practical examples, as well as including programs and exercises on downloadable resources. It comprises both an advanced text for students of water resources and civil or environmental engineering and a practical guide for professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling aspects have added a new dimension in research innovations in all branches of engineering. In the field of soil and water engineering, they are increasingly used for planning, development, and management of land and water resources, including analysis of quantity and quality parameters of surface and ground water, flood forecasting and control measures, optimum allocation and utilization of irrigation water. The application of these models saves considerable time in decision support systems and helps in conservation and optimum allocations of scarce precious natural resources.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Assiniboine Delta aquifer is a water-bearing deposit of sand & gravel lying below a 1,500 square mile area centred around Carberry, Manitoba. This document is the draft of a plan to manage the aquifer in order to protect it while ensuring sustainable use of the water resource. It begins with an overview of the process of plan development & the stakeholders involved, then describes the characteristics of the aquifer area & its surface water resources, the origins & physical environment of the aquifer, the water regime, water allocations, water use & demand in the area, and current aquifer management policies & procedures. Issues to be addressed by the plan are reviewed along with options to address those issues. Finally, recommended actions for the aquifer plan are set out regarding such matters as monitoring, water supply protection, and public education.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study was undertaken to ascertain the economic value of groundwater in the Assiniboine delta aquifer of Manitoba. The aquifer is located in a predominantly agricultural region, as reflected in the fact that almost 69% of all withdrawal use is for agricultural purposes. The valuation procedure followed in the study was limited to the use-related value of water. This valuation was conducted using two different perspectives: economic efficiency and regional development"--Abstract.
