Download or read book Water Resources Planning written by Andrew A. Dzurik and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in an extensively updated fourth edition, this essential text offers a comprehensive survey of all aspects of water resources planning and management. Utilizing an integrated water resources management (IWRM) framework, the authors show how this approach can clarify and help resolve resource management problems in ways that take into account complicated and interconnected social, economic, and environmental needs. Spanning the full planning process, the book considers legal and administrative issues; economic and forecasting factors; water quality, quantity, supply, use and demand; and model applications. The authors’ goal throughout is to provide a practical foundation for improving ecological and human environmental systems for practitioners and students alike.

Download or read book A Nonlinear Queueing based Planning and Scheduling Framework for Multi product Supply Networks written by Rodrigo Caliz Ospino and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research work presents a hierarchical nonlinear optimization-based framework for planning and scheduling of supply networks modeled as multi-class stochastic queueing networks. More precisely, the framework has two decision layers. At the top level a tactical processing plan is designed. This is accomplished by means of a nonlinear optimal control formulation, along with suitable solution algorithms, to compute on a rolling-horizon basis a tactical processing plan which yields the lowest cost expected-value inventory trajectory. In doing so, raw materials, inventory and demand mismatching costs are considered. As the main outcome, a target inventory trajectory is obtained for each inventory buer in the network at all times within a rolling planning time window. The bottom layer in turn deals with a distributed scheduling framework to best track the inventory targets generated by the tactical processing plan. In this regard, a processing schedule is generated for each server in the system so that sequence-dependent and inventory holding costs are minimized for each server within the current planning time window. Uncertainty in the inventory accumulation and depletion processes as well as network interrelations is accounted for by means of a robust optimization formulation. Several numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the framework mechanics as well as the algorithmic issues inherent to the dierent optimization steps performed on a hierarchical basis. The planning framework can also be adapted to standard Enterprise Resource Systems (ERPs) to best support the planning and scheduling functions on a regular basis.

Download or read book Dynamic Programming Based Operation of Reservoirs written by K. D. W. Nandalal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic programming is a method of solving multi-stage problems in which decisions at one stage become the conditions governing the succeeding stages. It can be applied to the management of water reservoirs, allowing them to be operated more efficiently. This is one of the few books dedicated solely to dynamic programming techniques used in reservoir management. It presents the applicability of these techniques and their limits on the operational analysis of reservoir systems. The dynamic programming models presented in this book have been applied to reservoir systems all over the world, helping the reader to appreciate the applicability and limits of these models. The book also includes a model for the operation of a reservoir during an emergency situation. This volume will be a valuable reference to researchers in hydrology, water resources and engineering, as well as professionals in reservoir management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to document for the first time the dimensions and requirements of effective integrated groundwater management (IGM). Groundwater management is a formidable challenge, one that remains one of humanity’s foremost priorities. It has become a largely non-renewable resource that is overexploited in many parts of the world. In the 21st century, the issue moves from how to simply obtain the water we need to how we manage it sustainably for future generations, future economies, and future ecosystems. The focus then becomes one of understanding the drivers and current state of the groundwater resource, and restoring equilibrium to at-risk aquifers. Many interrelated dimensions, however, come to bear when trying to manage groundwater effectively. An integrated approach to groundwater necessarily involves many factors beyond the aquifer itself, such as surface water, water use, water quality, and ecohydrology. Moreover, the science by itself can only define the fundamental bounds of what is possible; effective IGM must also engage the wider community of stakeholders to develop and support policy and other socioeconomic tools needed to realize effective IGM. In order to demonstrate IGM, this book covers theory and principles, embracing: 1) an overview of the dimensions and requirements of groundwater management from an international perspective; 2) the scale of groundwater issues internationally and its links with other sectors, principally energy and climate change; 3) groundwater governance with regard to principles, instruments and institutions available for IGM; 4) biophysical constraints and the capacity and role of hydroecological and hydrogeological science including water quality concerns; and 5) necessary tools including models, data infrastructures, decision support systems and the management of uncertainty. Examples of effective, and failed, IGM are given. Throughout, the importance of the socioeconomic context that connects all effective IGM is emphasized. Taken as a whole, this work relates the many facets of effective IGM, from the catchment to global perspective.
