This course provides a general overview of water resources development strategies. In the first part a formal systems framework based on a state space formulation of water resources planning is developed. Then optimisation techniques including linear, nonlinear and dynamic programming are explained. Then, various evaluation techniques are explained and demonstrated by the help of case studies. The emphasis is here on classical economic evaluation techniques like cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness approaches.
