TLDR
In this article, a river basin planning model with a wide range of historical hydrological conditions and increasing coordination between the co-riparian countries was used to analyze the implications of filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and its implications for downstream water resources.Abstract:
Strategies for filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and implications for downstream water resources are analyzed using a river basin planning model with a wide range of historical hydrological conditions and increasing coordination between the co-riparian countries. The analysis finds that risks to water diversions in Sudan can be largely managed through adaptations of Sudanese reservoir operations. The risks to Egyptian users and energy generation can be minimized through combinations of sufficient agreed annual releases from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a drought management policy for the High Aswan Dam, and a basin-wide cooperative agreement that protects the elevation of Lake Nasser.read more

Strategic decision making based on energy rates and costs from Itaipu's Multinational Energy Agreement Perspective
Bruno Rodrigues Fernandes Franciscato,Miguel Edgar Morales Udaeta,Andre Luiz Veiga Gimenez,Fernando Amaral de Almeida Prado +3 more
TL;DR: In this article , a case study of the energy surplus not used within the international agreement between two countries in Latin America is presented, which supports strategic decision makers from many countries to evaluate the best usage of Itaipu's energy surplus.

Water conflict analysis: The Nile River dispute
TL;DR: In this article , non-cooperative strategies are assessed to determine the possible outcomes of the Nile River Basin Water Dispute using cooperative game theory, which provides valuable insights into strategic disputes over water resources.

Rogun: Water Scarcity in Central Asia
TL;DR: In this article , a large hydropower project in the Aral Sea basin is described and discussed, but it also exemplifies the fact that such a project has far reaching consequences beyond the project site, region of its implantation, and even the country undertaking this development.

Model Evaluation Guidelines for Systematic Quantification of Accuracy in Watershed Simulations
Daniel N. Moriasi,Jeffrey G. Arnold,M. W. Van Liew,Ronald L. Bingner,R. D. Harmel,Tamie L. Veith +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present guidelines for watershed model evaluation based on the review results and project-specific considerations, including single-event simulation, quality and quantity of measured data, model calibration procedure, evaluation time step, and project scope and magnitude.

Stationarity Is Dead: Whither Water Management?
Paul C.D. Milly,Julio L. Betancourt,Malin Falkenmark,Robert M. Hirsch,Dennis P. Lettenmaier,Ronald J. Stouffer +5 more
TL;DR: Climate change undermines a basic assumption that historically has facilitated management of water supplies, demands, and risks and threatens to derail efforts to conserve and manage water resources.

TL;DR: This study suggests that efforts to mobilize S&T for sustainability are more likely to be effective when they manage boundaries between knowledge and action in ways that simultaneously enhance the salience, credibility, and legitimacy of the information they produce.

WEAP21 - A Demand-, Priority-, and Preference-Driven Water Planning Model Part 1: Model Characteristics
TL;DR: The WEAP21 model extends the previous WEAP model by introducing the concept of demand priorities and supply preferences, which are used in a linear programming heuristic to solve the water allocation problem as an alternative to multi-criteria weighting or rule-based logic approaches.
