Abstract
This paper addresses recent developments in the application of water Resource dispatching systems (WRDSs) in China. Through a survey of watershed managers and a literature analysis, it was found that water diversion projects should be the top priority of water resource management by considering the recovery construction of water diversion projects. Case studies of WRDSs in the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) and Pearl River Basin are discussed in this article. The results show that total water consumption management (WCM), water quality monitoring and management (WQMM), minimum discharge flow management (MDFM), and water dispatch management (WDM) modules should be considered in WRDSs. Finally, strategies and needs for resolving water resource management problems are discussed, along with other applications of WRDSs in China.
Highlights
Water availability and water demand are not evenly distributed in time and space.With social progress and economic development, demand for water is growing
A scientific and robust management of water resources is of great importance for the alleviation of water resource shortages, the sustainable utilization of water resources, and the maximization of regional ecological and economic benefits
A number of inter-basin water diversion projects have been launched in Australia, Canada, and the United States of America
Summary
With social progress and economic development, demand for water is growing. The contradiction between supply and demand of water resources is becoming increasingly prominent [1]. A scientific and robust management of water resources is of great importance for the alleviation of water resource shortages, the sustainable utilization of water resources, and the maximization of regional ecological and economic benefits. Reasonable design of water resources scheduling scheme is becoming more and more important [2,3,4]. A number of inter-basin water diversion projects have been launched in Australia, Canada, and the United States of America (the U.S.).
