Simulation-Based Assessment of Adaptive Planning in Coastal Water Supply Infrastructure Systems
Coastal water supply infrastructure systems (CWSIS) are exposed to saltwater intrusion (SWI) exacerbated by sea-level rise (SLR). While different factors contributing to the physical damage of SWI on CWSIS are well studied, little is known about the adaptive decision-making of institutional agencies in response to SWI impacts. This study developed a novel multi-agent simulation model that captures the coupled impacts of sea-level rise stressors and adaptation decision-making processes of utility agencies on the long-term resilience of CWSIS. The model was implemented using data collected from South Miami-Dade service area and then was used to design and test different scenarios pertaining to SLR and SWI projections as well as to adaptation decision-making factors. Accordingly, the long-term resilience of the system was assessed under various scenarios. The results showed the capability of the proposed simulation model for robust adaptation planning that leads to enhanced resilience in CWSIS under the impacts of SWI.
