“…Andreu et al (1996) developed a DSS called AQUATOOL, which is an interface for editing, simulating, reviewing and analyzing basin management simulation models, including a lentic and lotic water quality simulation module, that is widely used in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America (ParedesArquiola et al, 2010a(ParedesArquiola et al, , 2010bNakamura, 2010;Sulis & Sechi, 2013).The GESCAL and SIMGES modules are intercon-nected, sharing georeferenced quality and quantity data through a graphical interface (ParedesArquiola et al, 2010a). Thus, hypothetically considering a basin with multiple and transient uses, water quality can be simulated for any simulated outfall, recharge and environmental flow scenario.…”

“…According to ParedesArquiola et al (2010a), many scientific researches disregard the interactions between qualitative and quantitative aspects in water resource management at the basin scale. Due to this situation, many researchers around the world, e.g., Dai & Labadie (2001), Paredes & Lund (2006), Argent et al (2009), Zhang et al (2010), Paredes-Arquiola et al (2010a, 2010b, Zhang et al (2011), Sulis (2013) and Welsh et al (2013), are focusing on relating water quality within a DSS in water management at a basin scale.…”

ABSTRACT. The Araguari River basin has a huge water resource potential. However, population and industrial growth have generated numerous private and collective conflicts of interest in the multiple uses of water, resulting in the need for integrated management of water quantity and quality at the basin scale. This study used the AQUATOOL Decision Support System. The water balance performed by the SIMGES module for the period of October 2006 to September 2011 provided a good representation of the reality of this basin. The parameters studied were dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, organic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate and total phosphorus. The coefficients of biochemical reactions, sedimentation rates and sediment dissolved oxygen release for this period were calibrated and validated in the quality modeling using the GESCAL module. A sensitivity analysis indicated that the coefficients of carbonaceous matter decomposition, nitrification, water temperature, and sediment oxygen demand interfered more significantly in the variables of state. To prevent eutrophication in the Nova Ponte reservoir and in the other cascade reservoirs, the local River Basin Committee should adopt restrictive actions against the use of agricultural fertilizers. On the other hand, in the sub basin of the Uberabinha River, new alternatives for public water supply to the city of Uberlândia and improvements in the treatment efficiency of the main wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) should be proposed, since the biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia and total phosphorus failed to meet the requirements of COPAM (2008) in the driest months.

La cuenca del río Araguari tiene un enorme potencial de recursos hídricos. Sin embargo, la población y crecimiento industrial han generado numerosos conflictos de interés, privados y colectivos, en los usos múltiples del agua, dando lugar a la necesidad de una gestión integrada de la cantidad y calidad del agua a nivel de la cuenca. En este estudio se utilizó el Sistema de Soporte de Decisión AQUATOOL. El balance hídrico realizado por el módulo SIMGES, para el período de octubre 2006 a septiembre 2011 proporcionó una buena representación de la realidad de esta cuenca. Los parámetros estudiados fueron el oxígeno disuelto, demanda bioquímica de oxígeno, nitrógeno orgánico, amonio, nitrato y fósforo total. Los coeficientes de las reacciones bioquímicas, tasas de sedimentación y demanda de oxígeno disuelto del sedimento para este período fueron calibrados y validados en la modelación de calidad del agua, mediante el módulo GESCAL. El análisis de sensibilidad indica que los coeficientes de degradación de la materia orgánica, nitrificación, temperatura del agua y demanda de oxígeno del sedimento interfirieron más significativamente en las variables de estado. Para evitar la eutrofización en el embalse de Ponte Nova y en el resto de los embalses en ...

“…In this sense, water resources management can be performed in different ways, among which the use of simulation models is the most reliable method. Simulation models provide information that can help improve water resources system management and planning processes (Sulis and Sechi, 2013). An extended state-of-the-art review on simulation and optimization modelling approaches has been provided by Rani and Moreira (2010).…”

“…The most important elements are reservoirs, pumping wells and channels. As all models produce simplified representations of real-world systems (Sulis and Sechi, 2013), they must include the system's main features, such as rivers, reservoirs, aquifers, existing uses represented by the demand centres, hydraulic connections, the possibility of using returns and other unconventional resources, and the consideration or not of environmental constraints or operating rules.…”

“…Simulation models provide an efficient way to reproduce source -demand interactions and to predict the impacts of rule modifications over time and space (Sulis and Sechi, 2013). RIBASIM has been applied in more than 20 countries to support the process of water resources planning (Omar, 2014), such as: in 2001 RIBASIM was used to describe the effects of changes in farming systems on the regional water balance for three river basins -the Jratunseluna, Serayu and Cidurian basins -in Indonesia.…”
