Decision Support System for Sustainable Water Supply Planning
Long-term water supply planning (50- to 100-year horizon) offers planners the opportunity to consider a wide range of management alternatives and to balance social, economic, financial, and environmental factors in defining an appropriate future course of action. A computerized decision support system (DSS) is essential to aid the planner in evaluating the many options in long-term planning. Such a decision support system has been developed in this research and is included with the report. The DSS allows for evaluation of multiple future water management scenarios which integrate social, financial, economic, and environmental analyses that are requisite for sustainable, long-term water supply planning. 2007 – Softbound – 67 pp. ISBN 158321528X; Catalog No. 91107 $$ Order Now
