Abstract
Proposals are made for the eventual real-time, near-optimal control of an entire river basin for a wide-range of different functions including river management, water supply and sewage disposal. A satisficing approach within a modular, hierachical control framework is advocated. In this way, scarse resources can be allocated across competing interests and the degree of conflict between non-compatible activities minimised.
