Abstract: Most mathematical modeling efforts in water resources fall far short of adequately including social and environmental objectives. Although many modelers have good intentions at the start of their analyses, the objective ...

Abstract: Water supply and allocation scenarios for the Klamath River, Ore. and Calif., were evaluated using the Systems Impact Assessment Model (SIAM), a decision support system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. SIAM is a ...

Abstract: Water‐resource managers are often faced with rife task of balancing recreational activities in an attempt to maximize the overall recreational benefits from a river system. Available recreation‐use functions for white‐water ...

Abstract: Conflicts in water resources exist because river-reservoir systems are managed to optimize traditional benefits (e.g., hydropower and flood control), which are historically quantified in economic terms, whereas natural and ...

Abstract: Fuzzy set theory provides a useful model to address imprecision in interpreting linguistically described objectives for reservoir management. Fuzzy membership functions can be used to represent degrees of objective ...

Abstract: Alternative water management scenarios for a portion of the mainstem Klamath River from Keno, Oregon, to Seiad Valley, California, were evaluated using computer models of water quantity (MODSIM) and quality (HEC-5Q). These ...
