Abstract
Water management planning requires accessing the effects of changes in water demand (i.e. effects of migration or farmland and crop management, environmental needs), water yield (i.e. ground water drawdown, climate change, desertification) and water management (water allocation rules, dam operation, water transfer) on water availability and supply. Accordingly, analyses may be performed regarding one particular or any combination of these planning aspects, whereby they have to be quantified separately. Consequently, the following suitable model software has been identified:
-
SWAT, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (Arnold et al. 1998),
-
FEFLOW, Finite element modelling of flow, mass and heat transport in porous and fractured media (Diersch 2014),
-
MIKE Basin, decision support tool for integrated water resources analysis, planning and management of river basins (DHI 2012).
