The problems of managing projects of water supply system reconstruction are considered. The characteristics of such systems and especially the processes of planning and implementation of water supply systems reconstruction projects were analyzed. The necessity of sharing the methods of projects value assessing according to their social significance and economic benefit expectations are identified. On the basis of the fulfilled research a structural model of automated decision support system in project management of water supply systems reconstruction is proposed. The model is based on the use of the weighted sum method and assessment the current states of projects by the means of a neural network classifier.

Water supply has become a priority for developed and developing nations of the world. Conventional water resources alone cannot meet the growing demand for water in urban cities. Management of the problem is amplified by uncertainty associated with different development strategies. Singapore has limited conventional water resources and progressively architects its water supply system through acquiring and sustaining multiple (alternative) water resources through innovative technologies. The full rationale and merits of such a policy cannot be properly understood based on traditional project valuation methods alone. This paper provides decision support using a real options approach by evaluating innovative water technologies from multiple perspectives under uncertainty. This paper demonstrates that incorporating innovative water technologies into water supply systems can concurrently improve water supply from the financial, political and socioeconomic perspectives. The development of innovative water technologies provides flexibility to the water supply system, and is a fundamental and effective means of risk management. The evaluation of innovative water technologies is based on an integrated real options approach, which provides decision support for architecting water supply systems under uncertainty. The approach gives specific tangible values for the water technologies and complements the general prescriptive Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) framework.
