This third edition signifies an important transition in the World Water Development Report series; a transition from a status report on the world’s water-related challenges to a report that paints a holistic picture of our global water resources, with water sub-sectors and challenge areas understood within the broader context of socioeconomics. It acknowledges that most decisions that have an impact on water resources (on their state and on how we use and manage them) come from outside the ‘water box’ of the traditional water sector.
Water resources management is increasingly interdisciplinary and must take into account complex socio-economic factors and environmental variables. This volume describes the 'systems approach' and its application to contemporary water resources management, focusing on three main sets of tools: simulation, optimization and multi-objective analysis. This approach is presented in the context of sustainable planning and development under conditions of uncertainty. There are two particular features of Managing Water Resources: its introduction of system dynamic simulation as a tool for integrated modeling and its coverage of the use of fuzzy sets for incorporating objective and subjective uncertainties.
