“…In reality, the actual annual volume of water being transferred may be adjusted dynamically according to the water availability in the donor basins and the water demand in the receiving basins. Although interbasin water diversion projects are a common strategy worldwide to alleviate water shortages (Ahmadi et al, 2018; Jain et al, 2005; Liu & Zheng, 2002; Loomis, 1994; Soulsby et al, 1999), few studies evaluate the long‐term effects of alternative dynamic water transfer strategies on the human‐water system coevolution in the receiving areas. This experiment bridges this knowledge gap.…”

The impacts of climate change and human activities are challenging water sustainability in many cities around the world. Advanced understanding of the future long‐term coevolution of coupled urban human‐water systems is of considerable interest in this context. This study uses a previously developed sociohydrologic model to explore the coevolutionary trajectories of Beijing City's human‐water system over the 2015–2099 period under possible climate changes. The effects of multiple human adaptive actions under alternative climate scenarios are investigated in particular. Results show that there might be a recurrent competition for water between humans and the natural environment (e.g., groundwater aquifer) in the long‐term future, indicating that effective water management needs to ensure that this competition remains within a safe operating space. Three regimes of the human‐environment competition are revealed, including a sustainable development regime in which human society and groundwater aquifer are both safe throughout their coevolutionary trajectories, a regime that may lead to severe population loss due to overaggressive population control actions, and a regime that may cause aquifer depletion due to under‐perception of the drawdown of groundwater table. Results also show that relying too much on interbasin water diversion project might slacken human water conservation measures and eventually cause more severe aquifer depletion in the long run. Maintaining a high community sensitivity to drawdown of groundwater table and moderate measures to control population growth are keys to avoid unintended, negative consequences.

“…A WTDP or an interbasin water transfer project is defined as transferring water from a distinct catchment or river reach to another one [2]. System analysis techniques including simulation and optimization models can be used to help investigate the technical aspects of water transfer projects ( [3][4][5][6][7]). Some studies assess water transfer projects from social and environmental prospect ( [8]), and some other studies incorporate both the socioenvironmental aspects of water transfers and the technical ones ( [9][10][11]).…”

Water transfer development projects (WTDPs) could be considered in arid and semi-arid areas in response to uneven distribution of available water resources over space. This paper presents a simulation-optimization model by linking Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP) to particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for optimal design and operation of the Karoon-to-Zohreh Basin WTDP in Iran. PSO searches for optimal values of design and operation variables including capacities of water storage and transfer components as well as priority numbers of reservoirs target storage levels, respectively; And WAEP evaluates the system operation for any combinations of the design and operation variables. The results indicate that the water transfer project under consideration can supply water for the development of Dehdash and Choram Cropland (DCCL) in an undeveloped area located in Kohkiloyeh Province.

“…CI provides hydrological compensation to NI and mitigates the effects of NI variability and uncertainty on reservoir operation. The combined reservoir storage regulation and water transfer associated with the combined CI and NI brings up some complex and interesting issues, and an optimal solution for both can maximize the reliability of water supply while minimizing the water transfer cost (Jain et al, 2005; Li et al, 2015). This study establishes a theoretical framework to analyze the issues.…”

Interbasin water transfers have been undertaken in those regions that water demand has gone beyond regional water availability. Some reservoirs in a recipient region have both natural inflow (NI) and the controlled inflow (CI) through water transfer. This study establishes a theoretical framework to analyze reservoir operation with combined NI and CI, via an optimization model to maximize the net benefit of reservoir operation, considering both deterministic and stochastic NI. Operation rules for both water transfer and reservoir release are derived from the framework. It is illustrated that the amount of CI depends on water availability to the recipient reservoir, the relationship between marginal benefit and marginal cost, the water transfer capacity, and the uncertainty level of NI. As forecast uncertainty increases, more water is transferred, and more water is left in the reservoir as carryover storage when the initial water availability (WA0) is small; however, with a certain high level of WA0 and forecast uncertainty, water transfer will be controlled to reduce the risk of water abandonment. Notably, the critical values of the forecast uncertainty that control water transfer are identified under the various WA0. The analysis is illustrated via a case study with a real‐world reservoir in northeastern China. In summary, this study derives hedging rules for water supply reservoir with combined NI and CI to mitigate the risk of both water shortage and water abandonment and provides guidelines to use NI forecasts for water transfer and reservoir release decisions.
