In this study, an inexact inventory theory-based water resources distribution (IIWRD) method is advanced and applied for solving the problem of water resources distribution from Yuecheng Reservoir to agricultural activities, in the Zhanghe River Basin, China. In the IIWRD model, the techniques of inventory model, inexact two-stage stochastic programming, and interval-fuzzy mathematics programming are integrated. The water diversion problem of Yuecheng Reservoir is handled under multiple uncertainties. Decision alternatives for water resources allocation under different inflow levels with a maximized system benefit and satisfaction degree are provided for water resources management in Yuecheng Reservoir. The results show that the IIWRD model can afford an effective scheme for solving water distribution problems and facilitate specific water diversion of a reservoir for managers under multiple uncertainties and a series of policy scenarios.

An inventory-theory-based inexact multistage stochastic programming (IB-IMSP) method is developed for planning water resources systems under uncertainty. The IB-IMSP is based on inexact multistage stochastic programming and inventory theory. The IB-IMSP cannot only effectively handle system uncertainties represented as probability density functions and discrete intervals but also efficiently reflect dynamic features of system conditions under different flow levels within a multistage context. Moreover, it can provide reasonable transferring schemes (i.e., the amount and batch of transferring as well as the corresponding transferring period) associated with various flow scenarios for solving water shortage problems. The applicability of the proposed IB-IMSP is demonstrated by a case study of planning water resources management. The solutions obtained are helpful for decision makers in not only identifying different transferring schemes when the promised water is not met, but also making decisions of water allocation associated with different economic objectives.

Abstract: The purpose of this article was to accomplish a literature review to analyze the scientific studies which were based on Multicriteria Methods to study water resources management in agriculture. Scientific production indicators were established for the subject, through a descriptive analysis of 519 publications data set generated by the Scopus database search engine. The publications were refined applying several criteria resulting in 30 articles considered to be the most important to interpret the factors that detail the researched topic. The analyzed scientific studies also show that the structuring of multicriteria models is designed to better understand the problem or the process of decision making rather than to make the decisions itself. Furthermore, to the water resources management field, they provide a way to discuss and deal with problems like water distribution and pollution. An aggregating function along with a compensatory approach is used in most publications. Although participatory techniques were not the approach used by most studies, its potential was recognized for dealing with problems such as water management resources.


This paper describes the distribution of water resources in Uzbekistan, the elimination of water problems. Aral Sea water resources and water resources distribution models have been introduced in the country.

Water resources management requires the integration of many complex physical processes, as well as the interaction of many stakeholders, to ensure the sustainable use of surface and groundwater resources. Water problems to which water authorities have to face are water deficit to supply a wide and increasing demand, floods, water pollution, leaks in water distribution infrastructures, and optimization in the energy use and production. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the availability of water resources in terms of quantity and quality, and of water demand in their variability in space and time, is indispensable. In this context, SAID (SmArt water management with Integrated Decision support systems) project addresses the development, implementation, validation and integration of the most innovative DSSs as the basis for smart water management systems in complex basins. This paper focuses on the methodology carried out to integrate multipurpose aspects involved in the management of water resources in Guadalhorce River Basin (southern Spain), as a demonstrator area. As a support in the decision making process to dam managers, the resulting integrated DSS allows to execute predictive simulations to anticipate the watershed response, considering two types of scenarios (flood and ordinary), driven by different optimization criteria.

AbstractThe water shortage issue may put a spotlight over most of the Middle East region and push many nations to re-planning the water resources in various respects. Providing data on water’s economic value assists policymakers make informed decisions regarding water distribution. Additionally, addressing the increasing demand for all uses and building the sustainable future of agricultural and water policies. The purpose of this article is to explore and evaluate the economic value of irrigation water in Sharkia Governorate, regarded one of Egypt’s largest provinces. It also examines how to maximize the economic value of irrigation water, taking into account the self-sufficiency of main crops. Furthermore, consideration has been given to the political demands for the allocation, management and control of water resources. The simulation software Operational, Planning and Distribution Model (OPDM) was used to simulate through the studied province the accessible water distribution and crop yield. Moreover, it is used to judge the impact of irrigation water utilization and to check gross income. Furthermore, from a technical and economic point of perspective, the distinct suggestions were contrasted. The research evaluates the present crop pattern for wheat and cotton attaining a peak economic value of 1.23 EGP/m3 and 0.98 EGP/m3 of irrigation water for wheat and cotton respectively. Moreover, it reaches 0.41 EGP/m3 for rice which considered one of the highest plants in water consumption. Finally, these findings may highlight some strategic crops future development.

As the only water supply area and the main intake area in east route project of south-to-north water diversion, Jiangsu section project occupies a decisive position, its water resources allocation rationality will be count for much to the transferable water quantity of Jiangsu section and the water allocation of northern china. On the basis of investigating and calculating the quantity and location of water users, this paper divides the water users into five types. And then this paper formulated an optimal model for water resources allocation, the aim is to realize the goal of minimum volume of water shortage. On the premise of further perfecting match projects and facilities of each water user, this paper used linprog function to carry on the programming computation and got the optimal water allocation results in the planning year of 2020.
