Environmental Impacts for Water Resources Planning (Progress in Water Resources, Vol. 6)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book introduces a large-scale water resources planning model which is capable of considering environmental impacts of water schemes included. The idea is to undertake an environmental impact assessment of each scheme and then transform the outcome of this exercise into a cost modifier which will subsequently be used in an economic planning model. For this purpose an integrated model is developed by which it is possible to carry out all planning jobs using the same user inferface. The model assesses environmental impacts based on user evaluations and these evaluations are transformed into an Environmental Impact Factor. This is done for both construction and operation phases so that both constructional and operating costs of a scheme should be adjusted in terms of its environmental friendliness. The model is equipped with all necessary facilities such as: user interface, entry control diagnostics, electronic help for the use of the model, impact and the scheme descriptions. The book also includes a large scale application of the model to demonstrate its capabilities. In this form, it is a research book rather than a textbook.
