  1. WaterWare:Integrated Water ResourcesManagement Decision Support System Environmental Software and Services GmbH

  2. WaterWare • A highly integrated water resources management information system • Based on the conservation laws, multiple simulation models from hydrometeorology to techno-economic optimization

  3. WaterWare Integrates in a web-based framework • Data bases/GIS • Multiple linked/cascading simulation models • AI tools (expert system) • Multi-criteria optimization • Extensive user- and system support.

  4. WaterWare Is complex, powerful, highly integrated, with a friendly, easy-to-use interface and numerous embedded system and user support functions,

  5. Setting the stage: Objectives Provide decision support for • Effective (meet all objectives) • Efficient(minimize costs, resources) • Adaptive, resilient, robust • Sustainable(long-term focus) strategic planning and operational management for the Karun River Basin: Integrated Water Resources Management

  6. Setting the stage: Objectives Improved Water Resources Management (efficient, sustainable) : • information system, models as conceptual, logical framework (conservation laws) • organize data and knowledge (complete, consistent, plausible) • test hypotheses (scenario analysis) (WHAT IF ?) • find optimal solutions (multi criteria)

  7. Setting the stage: Approach Basic concepts: IWRM, quantitative, model supported/DSS, design and implementation in a Participatory Approach • Joint requirements analysis • Joint tool implementation and applications • Learning by doing, training “on the job”, intensive communication

  8. Water Resources Management (simplified) Problems: • Too much, not enough, • Wrong time and place • Insufficient quality • Growing uncertainty Information requirements: • How to make sure we get all the water we want when we want it, cheap, reliable, sustainable ?

  9. River Basin Management Shifting emphasis and Objectives: Rio Declaration (1992): emphasis on the environment, integrated sustainable development (Chapter 18: adequate supply, access, optimization of water resources allocation – focus is on ecosystems. Water is a human right.

  10. River Basin Management Dublin Principles, (ICWE, 1992): Water has an economic value in all its competing uses, should be recognized as an economic good. Water is an economic good.

  11. River Basin Management EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) Preamble: Water is not a commercial product, rather a heritage ….. Achieve good quality, ‘good status’ of all water bodies by 2015. Ultimate aim: eliminate priority hazardous substances > water quality, ecology. River Basin Management Plans

  12. Architecture: • Web based (browser interface) • distributed client server • OOD (heterarchical structure) • Common SQL/Object data base, • fully “data driven” • Modular, standardized interfaces, formats, protocols (all TCP/IP based) SMS support • Autonomous real-time, AI control (rule-based watch dog) and interactive, logged • High level of security (user/access control)

  13. Implementation: • Fully web based implementation, fully multi-user (cooperative data management from multiple souces) • Flexible client-server architecture, from stand-alone systems to distributed networks and clusters; • Clients: PC with standard web browser • Integration of simulation models, data bases (emission modeling), and monitoring (data assimilation)

  14. Structure and components: • Multiple, “cascading” nested grid or logically linked models; • Shared utilities, common tools; • Shared common data base, OBJECT classes, consistent units, META data, geo referencing, time stamps, ….. • Shared user interface (web based) • OPEN, modular, easy to scale; • Fully data driven.

  15. Automated flow control (SCADA) Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition

  16. Paradigm change: NOT about “supply, access, ecological status” Shared “benefits”: • Increasing overall net benefit while meeting individual user constraints as the basis for win-win solutions: everybody is better off !
