Description
Covering the more recent advances in Modelling, Planning, Management and Negotiations for Integrated Water Resource Management, this text
brings together knowledge and concepts from Hydrology, System Analysis, Control Theory, Conflict Resolution, and Decision and Negotiation
Theory. Without compromising on mathematical rigour, the book maintains a fine line between theory and application, methodology and tools,
avoiding getting locked into excessively theoretical and formal development of the issues discussed. The non-technical aspects of water
resource systems (such as societal, political and legal concerns) are recognized throughout the book as having a great, if not fundamental,
importance to reaching an agreed-upon decision; they are therefore integrated into the more technical and mathematical issues. The book
provides a unified, coordinated and comprehensive framework that will facilitate the increasingly appropriate application of the Integrated
Water Resource Management paradigm by current and future practising professionals, decision-makers and scientists.
