OPTIMA INCO-MPC Management Board Meeting, April 1/2 2005 Izmir

This project aims to develop a formal, structured, and quantitative model for water resources management, integrating various factors such as land use change, alternative water technologies, and socio-economic developments. The modeling process will provide estimates for economic efficiency, environmental compatibility, and equity, allowing for hypothesis testing and the development of consistent scenarios with high explanatory value.

  2. WP03: Modelling MODELS provide a • Formal • Structured • Quantitative description of the problems and possible solutions.

  3. WP03: Modelling WP1: identifies problem issues, develops a structure for the description of the cases, identifies data needs and availability, constraints; WP2 analyzes perceptions and preferences, institutional or regulatory frameworks, plausible socio-economic developments; WP4 compiles the set of ALTERNATIVE WATER TECHNOLOGIES that can be used; WP5 looks into LAND USE change as one of the major driving forces, consistent with WP 2.

  4. WP03: Modelling WP1, 2, 4 and 5 develop the boundary conditions and specifications for • Complete • Consistent • Plausible Set of SCENARIOS for simulation modelling and optimization.

  5. WP03: Modeling WaterWare dynamic water resources model (daily, annual) optimization Embedded models: • RRM rainfall-runoff model for subcatchments (incl. erosion estimates) with automatic calibration • STREAM water quality model Related model (optional): • LUC dynamic land use change model

  6. WP 3: Modelling Models provide estimates for • Economic efficiency • Environmental compatibility • Equity (intra- and intergenerational)

  7. WP03: Modelling LUC: land use change model • Discrete state (LUC) transition model • Markov chain with stochastic transition probabilities • Rule-based constraints and TP adjustments • Temporal resolution: year, scope: decades (20-50 years) • Spatial resolution: ha to km2 • Resource use and pollution as land-use specific output; • Possibility for external, global driving forces

  8. WP03: LUC Modelling Global/local adjustments of the transition probabilities expressed as First-order logic RULES in relative terms (INCREASE, DECREASE in %). http://www.ess.co.at/SMART/luc.html

  9. WP03: LUC Modelling Interactive editors for • Land use classes • Transition probabilities • Modifying rules • Class specific resource needs/outputs are available on-line together with the viewer (player for animated results) Links from http://www.ess.co.at/SMART will be moved to http://ww.ess.co.at/OPTIMA

  10. WP03: LUC Modelling Derived values per unit area, class specific: • Water consumption • Waste water generated • Energy use • Solid waste production OTHERS ??

  11. WP03: Modelling LUC EXTENSIONS: Include transportation network in rules (connectivity) Other external variables (specified as time series) More LUC specific coefficients and processes (employment, value added, etc)

  12. WP03: Modelling LUC OBJECTIVES: • Hypothesis testing • Developing CONSISTENT scenarios with high explanatory value that can also be used directly in the rainfall-runoff basin water budget model • Independent estimate on water budgets

  13. WP03: Modelling RRM: rainfall-runoff model • Dynamic, daily time step • Uses daily rainfall and temperature • Major basin characteristic: LAND USE (summarized from LUC scenarios ??) • Estimates runoff and dynamic water budget for ungaged basins, provides input for WRM start nodes (catchment)

  14. WP03: RRM Modelling • Includes automatic calibration with runoff observation data • Method: Monte Carlo, evolutionary programming; • Extract reliable features (Gestalt) from observations, define as constraints on model behavior, • FROM  TO (period) CMIN < FEATURE < CMAX FEATURES: min, max, avg, total, values

  15. WP03: WR Modelling WRM: water resources model • Dynamic, daily time step • Topology of NODES and REACHES • Demand nodes (cities, irrigation, industry, tourism) • Estimates dynamic water budget, supply/demand, reliability of supply • Complete on-line implementation with editors

  16. WP03: Modelling User/scenario management: • User authentication by name and password (monitored … ) • User can see and copy ALL scenarios, edit/delete only their own ! • TEST scenarios installed as EXAMPLES to demonstrate features implemented • On-line manual pages

  17. WP03: Modelling Model structure: Topology (network) of NODES, connected by REACHES; NODES represent functional OBJECTS in the basin: • Sub-catchments, well(s) fields, springs • Reservoirs, structures • Water demand: cities, irrigation districts, industries, environmental uses (wetlands, minimum flow)

  18. WP03: Modelling Model structure: Topology (network) of NODES, connected by REACHES: Represent natural and man-made channels, canals, pipelines that transfer (route) water between NODES. Networks include: • Diversions (splitting the flow) • Confluences (merging flow)

  19. Water demand NODES Consumptive use Costs of supply Benefits of use Water demand and use: • domestic, • agricultural, • industrial Intake quality constraint, conveyance loss return flow (pollution) recycling losses

  20. WP03: Modelling DEMAND NODE is defined by • Its type (domestic, industrial, agricultural) • Its connectivity (upstream, downstream, aquifer) • Its water demand (time series) • Conveiance losses (evaporation, seepage) • Consumptive use fraction, resulting in • return flow, and its losses • Quality changes (pollution) • Costs of supply – Benefits of use

  21. WP03: Modelling WRM EXTENSIONS: • Full groundwater coupling, single or multi-cell aquifers with Darcy-flow coupling, in/exfiltration for reaches • Quality integration (return flow) • Economic analysis: • Water efficiency; added value/unit water • Cost-benefit analysis, requires, per node: Investment, lifetime, OMR, discount rate

  22. WP03: Modelling Full groundwater coupling, single or multi-cell aquifers with Darcy-flow coupling, in/exfiltration for reaches Every node is optionally connected to an AQUIFER OBJECT: • Extracting water from it (wells, infiltration (lateral inflow, baseflow contribution) into reaches, depending on relative levels • Returning water to it: seepage losses, explicit recharge

  23. WP03: Modeling Water Quality Modeling : STREAM • Uses WRM networks and results (flow scenarios) and dedicated editor; • Dynamic (daily) BOD/DO, plus an arbitrary pollutant (conservative or first order decay) • Input at start nodesand demand nodes: • Concentration TS • Pollutant load TS • Concentration as a piecewise linear function of flow • Overall mass budget and compliance • Dynamic Output at control nodes

  24. WP03: Modeling Water Quality Modeling : STREAM • Uses WRM networks and results (flow scenarios) and dedicated editor; • Dynamic (daily) BOD/DO, plus an arbitrary pollutant (conservative or first order decay) • Input at start nodesand demand nodes: • Concentration TS • Pollutant load TS • Concentration as a piecewise linear function of flow • Overall mass budget and compliance • Dynamic Output at control nodes

  25. WP5-9: Modelling REMEMBER: • Model applications are THE central part of the case studies !!! • All data compilation in view of model input data requirements

  26. WP03: Model steps • Define the domain or system boundaries (river basin including any transfers !) • Describe all important OBJECTS: • Inputs = sub-catchments, wells, springs, transfers, desalination, Aquifers • Demands: cities, tourist resorts, industries, agriculture (irrigated) • Structures: reservoirs • Define NETWORK: link nodes through reaches (connectivity)

  27. WP03: Model steps • Compile and edit the DATA for the NODES and REACHES: • Time series of flow, pumping, water demand, diversion, reservoir release as rules or explicit time series, • Loss coefficients • Consumptive use fractions, • Costs (investment, OMR, and benefits per units water supplied/used; • Edit one or more scenarios, document • RUN the model, evaluate runs.

  28. WP03: OPTMIZATION steps • Define • CRITERIA, sort into • OBJECTIVES (min/max) and • CONSTRAINTS (inequalities), set numerical values, symbolic targets; • RUN the optimization model on-line (that may take a while …) • ANALYZE results as input to WP 14, 15

  29. WP03: OPTMIZATION steps OPTIMIZATION generates sets of feasible alternatives, each optimal in some (well defined) sense; Discrete multi-criteria methodology SELECTS a single preferred solution from that set by defining preferences and trade-offs (multi-criteria) interactively: Users explore the decision space to learn what can be obtained, and for what price (the trade-offs) and how to approach their UTOPIA solutions.

  30. Work Plan (simple version) OPTIMIZATION (multi-criteria) Maximize • Supply/demand ratio (by sector) • Reliability (% time, volume), • Efficiency (GRP/unit water), • Benefit/cost ratio meeting constraints (minimum or maximum allowable levels of selected criteria), minimizing non-linear penalty functions

  31. Work Plan (simple version) OPTIMIZATION Maximize …. by • Choice of water technologies of different costs (investment, OMR) vs performance including structures • Different allocation strategies • Selecting criteria, setting constraints

  32. Work Plan (simple version) 3. Case Studies (WP 7-13) • Run parallel • SHARE models • Use SAME structure for end user involvement, reporting
