Bayesian networks (BNs) are widely implemented as graphical decision support tools which use probability inferences to generate “what if?” and “which is best?” analyses of potential management options for water resource management, under climate change and socio-economic stressors. This paper presents a systematic quantitative literature review of applications of BNs for decision support in water resource management. The review quantifies to what extent different types of data (quantitative and/or qualitative) are used, to what extent optimization-based and/or scenario-based approaches are adopted for decision support, and to what extent different categories of adaptation measures are evaluated. Most reviewed publications applied scenario-based approaches (68%) to evaluate the performance of management measures, whilst relatively few studies (18%) applied optimization-based approaches to optimize management measures. Institutional and social measures (62%) were mostly applied to the management of water-related concerns, followed by technological and engineered measures (47%), and ecosystem-based measures (37%). There was no significant difference in the use of quantitative and/or qualitative data across different decision support approaches (p = 0.54), or in the evaluation of different categories of management measures (p = 0.25). However, there was significant dependence (p = 0.076) between the types of management measure(s) evaluated, and the decision support approaches used for that evaluation. The potential and limitations of BN applications as decision support systems are discussed along with solutions and recommendations, thereby further facilitating the application of this promising decision support tool for future research priorities and challenges surrounding uncertain and complex water resource systems driven by multiple interactions amongst climatic and non-climatic changes.

Main Components

The interoperability problems of distributed databases are important in the developing of the operatively working web services aimed for all sectors of public administration. The following web services are designed for solving tasks in water resource management and contamination evaluation sector with a due attention to the international environment protection context. The paper is devoted to problems of developing the component‐based architecture of the integrated decision‐support system that afford ground for the monitoring and intellectual analysis of water management. Such investigations are made according to the requirements of European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive, Sustainable development Directives and EIONET ReportNet infrastructure. The main components of decision‐support system are analyzed by using different knowledge modelling and web service development techniques. The structure of water resource management information system (WRMIS) becomes the core of the decision‐support system in which web services are implemented. The main components for evaluation of processes of contamination and water monitoring are represented by data warehouse structures. The solutions to satisfy the interoperability requirements are demonstrated by architectural design decisions of the system, integrating the distributed data warehouses and geographical information system means. The web services are based on common portal technology. The organizational and political arrangements require deeper and stronger participation activities by all member states of EU in reporting, understanding the importance of sustainable development problems and risk evaluation possibilities. Santrauka Vandens išteklių valdymas ir nutekamojo vandens kokybės vertinimas yra viena svarbiausių problemų, susijusių su aplinkos apsaugos ir žmonių sveikatos uždaviniais. Vanduo yra vienas iš pagrindinių išteklių visiems biologinės įvairovės gyvavimo ciklams egzistuoti. Vandens kokybės reikalavimai daro įtaką daugeliui darniosios plėtros reikalavimų. Aplinkos apsaugos principai susideda iš daugelio tarpusavyje sąveikaujančių komponentų. Didelių įmonių, institucijų ir organizacijų veikla turėtų būti grindžiama įvairiopa atsakomybe už daromos veiklos ir žalos aplinkai padarinius. Nagrinėjami informacinių sistemų, vykdančių vandens užterštumo stebėseną ir analizę, sąveikumo užtikrinimo klausimai. Informacijos perteikimo metodai yra svarbūs kuriant konsultacines sistemas, kurios padėtų spręsti daugelį sprendimų priėmimo problemų, vertinant kompleksinius aplinkos taršos procesus. Šiame straipsnyje analizuojami pagrindiniai sprendimų paramos sistemos kūrimo komponentai aplinkos vertinimo sektoriuje, leidžiantys efektyviau spręsti šias problemas naudojant E-tinklus (vertinimo tinklus, t. y. Petri tinklų praplėtimą). Modeliai, leidžiantys atvaizduoti ir vertinti sprendimų priėmimo procesus, projektuojami keliais detalumo lygmenimis, taikant semantinio informacijos struktūrizavimo ir imitacinio modeliavimo priemones. Taršos procesai stebimi vykdant monitoringą, pirminius duomenis fiksuojant daugiamatėse duomenų saugyklose ir perteikiant vartotojams sprendimų paramos sistemos analizės priemonėmis. Aprašomi vandens išteklių ir nuotekų kontrolės duomenų analizės modeliai ir gauti rezultatai. Straipsnyje analizuojami pagrindiniai sprendimų paramos sistemos komponentai ir spendimams priimti svarbūs vandens ir aplinkos vertinimo rezultatai.

This paper presents a prototype of GIS (Geographic Information System) and web-based decision support system (GWDSS) for regional water resource management and planning, which is a conjunctive application of GIS, Web and DSS technologies. The components involved and implementation of GWDSS are analyzed. The scenario analysis approach and embedded GIS functions are explained. Through the application of GWDSS in the case study region, GWDSS enables managers and decision makers to improve the regional strategic management and planning of water resources,and optimizes the use of water to satisfy the demands of competing stakeholders and protecting water resources.

The current technologies are predominantly attract the water resource management(WRM); if this water can not adequately utilizing for human activities, then several future problems are happening. Therefore super hydro controlling technology and it’s management systems are necessary. In this investigation, various water resource management methodologies, it’s merits and demerits are reviewed. The 2R-decision support system(DESS) implementation can change the conventional water management mechanisms, DESS addresses the engineering and non-engineering issues related to WRM system. The global WRM system designs and utilizations are facing many questionaries from experts. In India, there are many WRMs, but these are work for the nation, due to this limitation nations are facing many contemporary issues. Several methods have overcome these limitations but 2R-DESS answering the complete and accurate solutions to WRM. The advanced WRM system and its functionalities are verified on one example with the river basin agencies through DESS adequately. In this research work, for WRM calculating the various measures such as catchment area improvement, supply flow, upper flow, lower flow and acknowledgement of various effecting factors. The designed 2R DESS challenging the present WRM methodologies and results outperforms present technologies.

Our research concerns the development of a unified coherent framework for evaluating water contamination processes and solving environment protection problems according to sustainable development requirements. The research investigations are made according to the requirements of the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive and Sustainable Development Strategy. The article describes the decision support processes, based on integration of distributed data warehouses that are on the responsibility of different institutions. The Water Resource Management Information System became the kernel component of a decision support system. We analyse the possibilities of composing e-services in a semi-automatic way for decision support by analysing data processes in the water management sector. We would like to show the possibilities of integrating of data into a web portal from the distributed databases of the water management sector. The information infrastructure of e-service provision is constructed by ensuring the requirements of interoperability. The composition mechanisms of e-service are based on SOA, i.e. service-oriented architecture, and the Goal-Based Service Framework idea. The results are demonstrated on wastewater discharges from farms and household production into surface waters of Lithuanian districts during the period of 2003–2012 years. The water resource management domain specification is based on the goal-based service ontology.
