Monday, Tuesday April 4/5 :
Modeling workshop:
WRM water resources management
RRM Rainfall-runoff model
STREAM water quality model

6. OPTIMA OBJECTIVE
Develop a common structured approach and modeling tools to water resources management in several parallel case studies:
Common approach and method for
Identifying issues (questionnaire)
Involve end users, stakeholders
Describe the systems (common data structure)
Model/optimize them (MC, discrete MAT)
Analyze results with stakeholders

7. OPTIMA OBJECTIVE
Meet the Commission Objectives with Deliverables, Reports, Cost Statements ON TIME and ON BUDGET:
THIS IS ESSENTIAL !!!
Meet individual objectives (??) for methodological development and the case studies ( end users ?);
Produce results together: comparative analysis, dissemination, going beyond the individual pieces.

8. OPTIMA OBJECTIVE
common structured and quantitative approach to water resources management in several parallel case studies:
Common approach and method for
Identifying issues
Involving end users
Describing the systems/problems
Analyze (model/optimize) them
DSS for end users

9. OPTIMA: Project Overview
3 year duration to JUNE 2007
Started: July 2004
Current PM: 10 of 36
or about 25%
1/4 already over !!!!!

10. OPTIMA: time table

11. OPTIMA: Milestones Milestone Description 06 18 24 33 36
Month
Milestone Description M1 06
End of preparatory phase, first workshop M3 18
Case studies implemented, first results of optimisation runs M4 24
Post-optimal analysis and assessment phase initiated M5 33
Case studies completed, second stage optimisation M6 36
Project and reporting completed

12. OPTIMA: Work Plan Phases
Requirements and constraints, DSS processes (end users, issues)
Data compilation, tool development (WP03-06)
Parallel case studies, shared tools, methods, approach starting in summer (PM 12)
Comparative evaluation, dissemination (end users).

13. Work Plan (revisited)
Structure the cases (WP 1) using a COMMON framework, terminology, criteria, thesaurus
Physical and institutional setting (end users and stakeholders),
Problems/issues (questionnaire)
Data availability/constraints

14. WP1 (objectives)
compile comprehensive lists of water management issues, problems, and respective information requirements
ensure early stakeholder participation
identify the major institutional structures, actors and stakeholders

15. WP1 (objectives)
compile comprehensive lists of water management issues:
On-line questionnaire:
Check the set of issues, and their descriptions
Check consistency of assessment and comments
Prepare method for use with stakeholders

16. Work Plan (simple version)
Structure the cases: WP 2 socio-economics, decision making processes (end user involvement)
Actors, institutions
Legal/regulatory framework
Socio-economic development
D02.1: summaries issues across cases (more contributions from key stakeholders !)

17. Work Plan (simple version)
WP 1 and 2 define:
scope, common language/structure (criteria, objectives, constraints) but also realistic context (scenarios of development) for OPTIMISATION
Common approach/tools for end user involvement: D02.2

18. Work Plan (simple version)
WP 1 and 2
CONTRIBUTE to the model application configuration/scenarios:
Supply STRUCTURED, quantitative or semi-quantitative data and information:
Model must be consistent with issues and stakeholder views

19. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 3)
COMMON modeling framework:
Dynamic water resources and quality model estimates:
supply/demand,
reliability, efficiency
cost/benefit
water quality compliance

20. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 3)
Model system available on-line:
First phase: simple simulation
Optimization: brute forward MC plus heuristics, GP (multi-criteria, discrete reference point optimization).

22. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 4) techno-economic data define the variables for alternative scenarios (irrigation technologies, water saving, harvesting, recycling, desalination, plus costs of water services (supply, treatment) and benefits of water use.

23. Costs versus Performance
Work Plan (WP 4)
Techno-economic data:
Organize in a data base of water technologies with:
Costs versus Performance
Demand and supply nodes in WaterWare incorporate water technologies affecting parameters for the optimization

24. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 5)
Land-use data (and development scenarios) provide context for:
Water demand (sectoral)
Runoff characteristics, infiltration/recharge

25. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 5) GIS, RS:
COMPATIBLE data and classification: CORINE L3,
Satellite imagery (good resolution, visual band for common source BG maps)
Basic GIS data: administrative, LU, infrastructure, DEM, hydro features

26. Work Plan (simple version)
2. Tools and data (WP 5)
Land-use data (and development scenarios) provide context for:
Water demand (sectoral)
