Partial contents:

pt. 1. Setting the stage. An overview -- Changing water resources management practice -- An introduction to water resources systems management -- pt. 2. Applied systems analysis. General systems theory -- pt. 3. Water resources systems management. Introduction to methods of water resources systems management -- Water resources systems management under uncertainty : a fuzzy set approach -- Water resource systems management for sustainable development -- pt. 4. Implementation of water resources systems management tools. Simulation -- Optimization -- Multi-objective analysis -- pt. 5. Water for our children. The future of water resources systems management

Summary: 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. The publication introduces system dynamic simulation as a tool for integrated modeling and contains coverage of the use of fuzzy sets for incorporating objective and subjective uncertainties. It combines theory with many practical examples, as well as including programs and exercises on an accompanying CD-ROM. It composes both an advanced text for students of water resources and civil or environmental engineering and a practical guide for professionals.--Publisher's description
