Water Resources Systems Planning and Management considers how water resources can become more integrated and sustainable. It introduces the science and art of modelling in support of water resources planning and management. The authors draw on their extensive experience to provide a variety of management tools that can be used in water resources system planning, development and management projects worldwide.

The information, examples, case studies and range of exercises included in this book will facilitate the process of becoming a skilled water resources systems modeller, analyst and planner. It will serve many students, teachers, and practising water resource engineers and planners in the years to come.

Daniel P. Louks is Professor of Civil Engineering at Cornell University in the USA.

Eelco Van Beek is a water resource specialist and manager of the freshwater systems group within WL - Delft Hydraulics in the Netherlands.



This book introduces the use of quantitative methods for identifying and evaluating alternative water resources management plans and policies. It can serve water resources engineers and planners as a useful guide. It presents ways of obtaining useful information for managing the world’s vital water resources.

The book builds on ‘Water Resources Systems Planning and Analysis’ by Loucks, Stedinger and Haith, published by Prentice Hall in 1981. It not only rigorously updates this text, but it also introduces new modelling methods and case studies. The graphics presented are innovative and in colour. The enclosed CD contains exercises, software and copies of all the figures and tables for use in presentations.


All models discussed in this book are designed for application on microcomputers. The software used to illustrate the solutions to various linear and non-linear optimisation problems can be obtained free of charge and downloaded from the Internet. Commonly available spreadsheet software can also be used.
