Water Resource System Modelling and Decision Analysis
In the 1960s the Harvard Water Programme promoted a multidisciplinary approach to water resources management, with computer programming to solve complex water allocation problems at its core. Although we are now in the twenty‐first century, the challenges that the Harvard Water Programme sought to address are still with us, even though our perspective on water systems has broadened, whilst the tools that we have to analyse these problems have greatly improved. In this chapter we present methods for analysing the operation, planning and design of water resources systems, which seek to address uncertainty and trade‐offs through simulation modelling and optimization. These methods have become increasingly prevalent in practice as well as in academic research. We explore significant remaining challenges, which relate to: complexity across multiple temporal and spatial scales; inclusion of multiple actors; and representation of the resilience of the natural environment.
