Download or read book Knowledge Based Decision Support for Integrated Water Resources Management with an Application for Wadi Shueib Jordan written by David Riepl and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a two-staged approach to contribute to the contemporary Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) research. First it investigates sub-basin-scale IWRM modelling and scenario planning. The Jordanian Wadi Shueib is used as exemplary case study. Then, it develops a framework to collaboratively manage planning and decision making knowledge on the basis of semantic web technologies. Future IWRM initiatives can benefit from the valuable insights achieved in the presented study.
Download or read book Dynamics of Dissent written by John Clammer and published by Routledge India. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses dissent and its manifestations in movements of social and political transformation across communities and cultures. It shows how these movements create ruptures in the structures of power, and social hierarchy; expressed through songs, slogans, poetry and performances. The chapters in the book explore these sites of transgression and the imprint they leave on culture, politics, beliefs and the collective society – via music and poetry as in the Bhakti movement or through feministic theories born in post-World War Europe. It also explores how these dynamic movements generate alternate spaces within which the self, identity and collective purpose take new forms and find new meanings as they travel. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the humanities, literature, history, sociology, politics and culture studies.

This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If numeric data from the Web are brought together, natural scientists can compare climate measurements with estimations, financial analysts can evaluate companies based on balance sheets and daily stock market values, and citizens can explore the GDP per capita from several data sources. However, heterogeneities and size of data remain a problem. This work presents methods to query a uniform view - the Global Cube - of available datasets from the Web and builds on Linked Data query approaches.

Download or read book Decision Support for Water Resource Management Integration of Water Control and Water Quality Data written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PURPOSE: In recent years, there has been increased focus by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies on a system-wide approach to watershed management as a means to enhance stewardship and protect the Nation's water resources. Because of this, new approaches to decision support that integrate across political, technological, social, economic, and physical considerations are needed. This will require development of tools and techniques to evaluate management operations for multiple objectives (e.g., economic development and environmental quality) and multiple purposes (e.g., flood control, navigation, hydropower, and fish and wildlife habitat) and to establish trade-offs among competing objectives. A critical element of these system-wide tools will be the ability of the water resources manager to access and utilize diverse spatial and temporal information. Results of initial efforts to integrate water control and water quality data into a spatially explicit decision support tool are described here.
Download or read book Risk Based Decision Support of Water Resource Management Alternatives written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a risk-based decision support system for designing and managing large-scale water resource projects. A model is presented that combines a new risk assessment methodology with traditional decision-making tools to enable systems engineers to capture the full spectrum of operational risks during the design process. Enhancing public welfare through the deliberate management of water resources is vital for every society. Pollution, overuse, and consumption challenge a society's ability to develop and sustain water supplies for municipal, agricultural, industrial, and recreational use while protecting fisheries and wetlands. Water resource management decisions are complex and involve risk. This project identifies a risk taxonomy to help managers identify those risks and their severity. These risk factors provide the foundation for a multi-attribute utility decision support tool for managers and policymakers. Quantifying the risks in competing courses of action is an essential first step. The risk taxonomy identifies 13 risk factors that comprise the physical, logical, and environmental domains. Attributes of the essential risk elements are viewed in terms of utility and drive the decision process through traditional multi-attribute utility analysis. The result is a set of feasible alternatives that is both risk-based and value-focused for the decision maker to consider. The project is presented in the context of the Susquehanna River Basin that spans three states in the United States, with management interests at the state, regional, and national levels. The Susquehanna River is the 16th largest river in the United States and its tributaries drain 27,510 square miles. The project builds on work supporting the Susquehanna River Basin Commission's decision on managing the 14-mile-long Conowingo Pool near the river's terminus. This project was conducted for the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Istanbul, Turkey, 12-16 Oct 2006.
