Abstract

With an increasing competition for water resources across sectors and regions, the river basin has been recognized as the appropriate unit of analysis for addressing the challenges of water management. Modeling at river basin scale can provide essential information for policymakers in resource allocation decisions. A river basin system is made up of water sources components, in-stream and off-stream demand components, and intermediate (treatment and recycling) components. Thus a river basin is not only characterized by natural and physical processes but also by man-made projects and management policies. The essential relations within each component and the interrelations among these components in the basin can be represented in an integrated modeling framework. Integrated hydrologic and economic models are well equipped to assess water management and policy issues in a river basin setting. Some models of natural and physical processes were developed by some scholars, and were widely used in river basin management, such as BASIN, SWAT and MIKE etc. There are very few models to analyze the water use in social-economic process. Therefore, this work describes the methodology and application of an integrated hydrologic–economic river basin model.
