Abstract: Multigrid methods use a series of successively coarser grids to accelerate the solution of equations arising from the numerical solution of partial differential equations. A grid-cell–based geographic information system ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a newly developed draft agreement on the allocation of water and energy resources of the Syr Darya basin considering transboundary cooperation and benefits sharing. The method uses a river ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on calibration and validation of a hydrologic model of the Rio Conchos Basin, a main Mexican tributary of the binational Rio Grande Basin. The Rio Conchos provides approximately 55% of the water deliveries ...

Abstract: A ground-water management model using a nonlinear programming algorithm was developed to find the minimum cost design of the combined pumping and treatment components of a pump-and-treat remediation system and includes the ...

Abstract: Water resources planners and managers are continually faced with decisions to be made under uncertainty. In planning problems such as water supply, flood control, and ground-water remediation, the trade-offs among expected ...

Abstract: A screening model is developed to support the selection of alternatives for meeting future water demands and protecting sensitive ecosystems in the Edwards aquifer region of central Texas. Important attributes of the model ...

Abstract: The development of relational databases from which simulation models can access data needed to describe the systems being modeled is fundamental to integrated river basin management, especially in shared, transboundary ...

Abstract: Most large nonlinear optimization models are composed of “pieces”—subsets of decision variables—and constraints whose union is the entire model. Each piece represents an additional aspect of the situation being modeled. ...

Abstract: The interdisciplinary nature of water resources problems requires the integration of technical, economic, environmental, social, and legal aspects into a coherent analytical framework. This paper presents the development ...

Abstract: The feasibility of using an expert geographic information system (GIS) for long‐term regional water‐resources planning is evaluated through a case study examining an existing regional water‐supply system. This system is ...
