Contribution of the requirements engineering to the evaluation of water resources systems efficiency

Abstract

In the water resources sector, the need to adopt a new way of thinking based on a systemic approach and analysis is justified by several situations: very complex constraints that accompany the development of the sector, functional interactions between various planned developments and the multitude of actors and stakeholders involved. System engineering is a general methodological approach that encompasses all the appropriate activities to design, evolve and verify a system providing an economical and efficient solution to the needs of customers while satisfying the whole of stakeholders. Based on these concepts of size, the purpose of this paper is to apply the principles of systems engineering for the exploration and evaluation of Boughrara water resources system performance. This system located in the north-west of Algeria involves subsystems in constant interaction, namely mobilization, treatment, purification and transfer of water. Its performance takes into account a number of parameters: compliance with customer satisfaction objectives, system constraints, stakeholder role and responsibility for achieving system-wide objectives, and not relationship with sectors of activity.

Space-Time Pattern of Coupling Coordination between Environmental Regulation and Green Water Resource Efficiency in China

“…At the level of comprehensive efficiency of water resources, Xu et al (2019) found that the impact of environmental regulation on green water efficiency is non-linear [26], and there is spatial heterogeneity in the threshold effect of command, market, and voluntary environmental regulation on GWRE. Rouissat B et al (2021) applied the principles of systems engineering to explore and evaluate the performance of the water resources system in Bokhlara, northwestern Algeria, taking into account a variety of factors such as water mobilization, treatment, purification, and transfer [27].…”
