CE74.13 Water Resources Systems
CE74.13 Water Resources Systems
Course objectives:
The objective of this course is to provide a systems approach to the planning, management, and operation of water resources
infrastructure in the environment. This course provides in-depth understanding of simulation, optimization, multi-criterion-decision-
making, as well as engineering economics, all necessary for successful water systems analysis.
Learning Outcomes:
The students on completion of this course would be able to:
Apply basic economic analysis (engineering economic and microeconomic analysis) in water resources infrastructure
planning and management;
Apply operations research techniques (linear and dynamic programming) to various water resource allocation problems;
and
Comprehend and appreciate how water resources systems models can be used in planning and management of decision-
making processes.
Pre-requisite(s):
None

Evaluation Scheme:
The final grade is computed according to the following weight distribution: Mid-semester Exam (30%); Final Exam (40%);
Assignments (30%). Open book examination is given in both mid-semester and final exams.
An “A” grade will be awarded to those students, who demonstrate an ‘excellent’ understanding of systems thinking and able to
apply operations research techniques such as linear programing and dynamic programing in water resources planning and
management. A“B” grade will be awarded to those students who demonstrate a ‘good’ understanding of systems thinking and
able to apply operations research techniques such as linear programing and dynamic programing in water resources planning and
management. A “C” grade will be given to those students who demonstrate an ‘average’ understanding of systems thinking and
able to apply operations research techniques such as linear programing and dynamic programing in water resources planning and
management. A “D” grade will be given to those students who demonstrate a ‘below average’ understanding and applying
operations research techniques such as linear programing and dynamic programing in water resources planning and
management.
