Abstract. Water infrastructure investment planning must consider the interdependencies within water–energy–food nexus. Moreover, uncertain future climate, evolving socio-economic context, and stakeholders with conflicting interests, lead to a highly complex decision problem. Therefore, there is need for support tools objectively determine value of investments, considering impacts on different groups actors, risks linked uncertainties. We present new open-source hydro-economic optimization...
Abstract. Many river basins have a weak in-situ hydrometeorological monitoring infrastructure. However, water resources practitioners depend on reliable hydrological models for management purposes. Remote sensing (RS) data been recognized as an alternative to in remote and poorly monitored areas are increasingly used force, calibrate, update models. In this study, we evaluate the potential of informing basin model with real-time radar altimetry measurements over reservoirs. We present...
Water scarcity and rapid economic growth have increased the pressure on water resources environment in Northern China, causing decreased groundwater tables, ecosystem degradation, direct losses due to insufficient supply. The authors applied value method, a variant of stochastic dynamic programming, optimize management Ziya River basin. Natural runoff from upper basin was estimated with rainfall-runoff model autocalibrated using situ measured discharge. serial correlation described by Markov...
The Amazon Basin, the world’s largest watershed, plays a critical role in regulating global water and biogeochemical cycles. Given its importance, addressing region’s growing environmental, social, economic challenges requires an integrated approach to sustainable development. This study documents development application of water-energy-food nexus model support Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) evaluating infrastructure policy...
Hydroeconomic models have been used to determine policies for efficient allocation of scarce water resources. Hydropower benefits are typically represented through exogenous electricity prices, but these do not consider the effect that power market can on hydropower release policy and vice versa. To improve representation in hydroeconomic models, an application stochastic dynamic programming, known as value method, was maximize irrigation while minimizing costs generation within a market....
Water, energy, and agricultural infrastructure investments have important inter-relations fulfilling potentially competing objectives. When shaping investment plans, decision makers need to evaluate those interactions the associated uncertainties. We compare planning under uncertainty with an integrated water-energy-food nexus framework sector-centered (silo) frameworks. use WHAT-IF, open-source hydroeconomic support tool a holistic representation of power agriculture sectors. The is applied...

Perfect foresight hydroeconomic optimization models are tools to evaluate impacts of water infrastructure investments and policies considering complex system interlinkages. However, when assuming perfect foresight, optimal management decisions found knowledge climate runoff, which might bias the economic evaluation policies. We investigate by using Model Predictive Control (MPC) as an alternative. apply MPC in WHAT-IF, a model, for two study cases: synthetic setup inspired Nile River,...
