I. Objectives:
ï¶ Water resource management seeks to harness the benefits of water by ensuring there is sufficient water of adequate quality for drinking water and sanitation services, food production, energy generation, inland water transport, and water-based recreational, as well as sustaining healthy.
ï¶ Water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. As with other resource management, this is rarely possible in practice. Water is an essential resource for all life on the planet.
ï¶ Modelling provides a way, perhaps the principal way, of predicting the behaviour or performance of proposed system infrastructure designs or management policies.
ï¶ Purpose of water resource systems planning and management modeling is to provide useful and timely information to those involved in managing such systems. Modeling is a process or procedure intended to focus and force clearer thinking and to promote better decision-making.
