Water Resources Management: The Myth, the Wicked, and the Future
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Striking the Balance: Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Design for Conflicting Objectives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates the use of high-order Pareto optimization (i.e., optimizing a system for more than two objectives) on a long-term monitoring (LTM) application. The LTM application combines quantile kriging and the ...
Diagnosing the Time-Varying Value of Forecasts in Multiobjective Reservoir Control
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work forwards time-varying sensitivity analysis of control policies as an approach to identify the value of the alternative timing of forecasts in a complex multipurpose reservoir system. The time-varying forecast ...
Battling Arrow’s Paradox to Discover Robust Water Management Alternatives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates how Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, a theory of social choice, is of direct concern when formulating water-resources systems planning problems. Traditional strategies for solving multiobjective water ...
The Role of the Systems Community in the National Science Foundation’s Environmental Observatories

Improving the Robustness of Reservoir Operations with Stochastic Dynamic Programming
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reservoir operations should consider both adaptiveness and robustness to deal with two of the main characteristics of climate change: nonstationarity and deep uncertainty. In particular, robust operational strategies are ...
Exploring Equity Challenges within Deeply Uncertain Water Supply Investment Pathways in the Federal District of Brazil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cities in South America face many of the urban water supply challenges experienced globally including increasingly extreme future hydroclimatic conditions and rapid population growth. These challenges are further exacerbated ...
Curses, Tradeoffs, and Scalable Management: Advancing Evolutionary Multiobjective Direct Policy Search to Improve Water Reservoir Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimal management policies for water reservoir operation are generally designed via stochastic dynamic programming (SDP). Yet, the adoption of SDP in complex real-world problems is challenged by the three curses of ...
Balancing Hydropower Development and Ecological Impacts in the Mekong: Tradeoffs for Sambor Mega Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Home to one of the world’s most biodiverse and productive freshwater fisheries, the Mekong River basin provides food and economic security to some 60 million people. The extensive hydropower development planned for ...
