About this Item

Hardcover. This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. It presents system engineering methods for modelling surface water and groundwater resources as well as water transportation systems (rivers, channels and pipelines). The models in turn provide information on both the water quantity (flow rates, water levels) of surface water and groundwater and on water quality. In addition, methods for modelling and predicting water demand are described. Sample applications of the models are presented, such as a water allocation decision support system for semi-arid regions, a multiple-criteria control model for run-of-river hydropower plants, and a supply network simulation for public services. This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. The models in turn provide information on both the water quantity (flow rates, water levels) of surface water and groundwater and on water quality. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
