Objectives
At the end of the module, students are able to:
• understand the principles of integrated and sustainable water management,
• understand different institutional roles in several countries,
• apply linear and non-linear optimization tools,
• analyse and evaluate water related decision problems,
• differentiate between a range of river basin management tools and models
• find optimal solutions in competition with different stakeholders
Description
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
• Theory and History
• Blue-Green-Water-Concept, Virtual Water, ESS ESF
• Organization, System scales
• Implementation within politics’ environment
• Recent and former examples
Presentation and discussion of mesoscale watershed models used in IWRM context, including intensive modelling with RIBASIM (educational license)
• Simulation of a real case scenario with a model of the Nile River Basin
• Computation of irrigation demands
• Surface water reservoir management
• Groundwater calculations
Presentation, discussion and calculation of O¬¬ptimization Methods, including computation of exercises by hand and pocket calculator, with MS Excel and finally MATLAB (educational license)
• Decision Support Systems (DSS)
• La Grangian Multiplier
• Iterative Gradient Methods
• Hill-climbing Methods
• Linearization Methods
• Simplex-Algorithm
• Dynamic Programming
Training of additional skills needed for IWRM
• Multi-Criteria Analysis including exercises
• Sensitivity and Post-optimality analysis
• Time series analysis
Within this module additionally to the lecture students will work on a real case IWRM scenario, which simulates water scarcity within the Nile Basin. They will represent a stakeholder with special interests on water quantity and quality aspects in Egypt, carry out a strategy, how to reach their goals and proof the results of the RIBASIM model with optimization methods. Within this project, students will learn, how to formulate and defend stakeholders’ arguments within a presentation and discussion with the other stakeholder-groups. At the end, they have to find a compromise and a way to implement a solution for all acceptable within the political system.
Prerequisites
Grundmodul Hydrologie (recommended)
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures (Power-Point-Presentation, blackboard), Exercises (individual, small groups), homework, script
Examination
The written exam consists of a theoretical part with short questions and a second part with calculations. For the theoretical part no further help is allowed. For the calculation part students can use a calculator (non progammable) and the equation and table collection connected to the course. The theoretical part contains 50 % and the calculation part 50 % of the total points.
Duration of exam: 120 min.
Written homework is mandatory.
