Abstract. One of the innovative objectives in the EC project BRAHMATWINN was the development of a stakeholder oriented Integrated Water Resources Management System (IWRMS). The toolset integrates the findings of the project and presents it in a user friendly way for decision support in sustainable integrated water resources management (IWRM) in river basins. IWRMS is a framework, which integrates different types of basin information and which supports the development of IWRM options for climate change mitigation. It is based on the River Basin Information System (RBIS) data models and delivers a graphical user interface for stakeholders. A special interface was developed for the integration of the enhanced DANUBIA model input and the NetSyMod model with its Mulino decision support system (mulino mDss) component. The web based IWRMS contains and combines different types of data and methods to provide river basin data and information for decision support. IWRMS is based on a three tier software framework which uses (i) html/javascript at the client tier, (ii) PHP programming language to realize the application tier, and (iii) a postgresql/postgis database tier to manage and storage all data, except the DANUBIA modelling raw data, which are file based and registered in the database tier. All three tiers can reside on one or different computers and are adapted to the local hardware infrastructure. IWRMS as well as RBIS are based on Open Source Software (OSS) components and flexible and time saving access to that database is guaranteed by web-based interfaces for data visualization and retrieval. The IWRMS is accessible via the BRAHMATWINN homepage: http://www.brahmatwinn.uni-jena.de and a user manual for the RBIS is available for download as well.

The Matrix

The main objective of the WSM300 project is the development of a methodology which guides and supports an improved water resources management on the level of small watersheds (up to 300 km²). The developed methodology is to be implemented into a software based tool within the framework of a generic Decision Support System (DSS). (Leichtfuss 2003, Schröter 2004). Core of the DSS is a "decision matrix", which has been implemented as a web based application (www.wsm300.de). The management objectives are represented by the indicators labeling the rows. They will be the result of a discussion of the objectives and problems in the specific sub-basin, which is supported by the catalogue of indicators. The matrix, once the labels are defined, serves as a plot for the planning process, defining clearly which objectives have to be considered and which indicator-values have to be calculated. The DSS further includes a concept and tools for the combination of existing software components and supports the processing of model-outputs to indicator-values. Filled with the indicator-values, the matrix allows a comparison of the scenarios and provides a good basis for a decision. If desired, multi-criteria decision aid methods can further help find the optimal scenario and mediate between stakeholders. As a co-product of the web-based DSS, the "River-Information-System" was established informing the public about the newest developments in their catchment.

Abstract Since 2011, China has implemented its most stringent water management system to effectively protect water resources and guarantee socioeconomic development. More basin-scale water division schemes have been developed to act as references for basin-scale water resources management. Water dispatching during dry periods is an effective way to guarantee the water supply for the river basin, and is also an important component of basin-scale water resources management. Given this, the present study proposes a framework for the water dispatching of river basins during dry periods under the most stringent water management system in China. This framework mainly consists of the analysis and forecasting of rainfall and inflow, the dispatching requirements for the main water users, major reservoirs, and sections, as well as safeguard measures. The Jian River Basin in South China is presented as a case study. The total discharge of the Gaozhou Reservoir in 2017 was 25 million m3 more than the target discharge specified in the water dispatching scheme, and the total water storage utilization ratio during the dispatch period was 4.7% higher than the target utilization ratio. These factors demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed framework. HIGHLIGHT The proposed framework for the water dispatching of river basins during dry periods provides reliable technical support for water use security under the most stringent water management system in China, and is demonstrated to be both effective and applicable.
