“…The user-friendly supporting software, Expert Choice, has certainly contributed to the widespread use of the method. AHP has been successfully applied in strategic water resources planning and management (e.g., Wang 2008;Young et al 2009;Ennaouri and Fuamba 2011;Han et al 2012;Chowdary et al 2013;Srdjevic and Srdjevic 2014).…”

“…It was characterized by rapid and massive construction of hydraulic infrastructure, representing the importance of planned interventions that have shaped national bureaucracies' identities [4]. This is viewed as a traditional approach for water provision, compared to integrated water resources management in the modern sense, which is a process of coordinating the management and development of water, land, natural, and other resources within a river basin to promote economic and social development and protect freshwater ecosystems [5,6].…”

Water resources management is increasingly important for sustainable economic and social development. A coherent division of the development stages is of primary importance for selecting and implementing related water resource management strategies. Using evolving supply–demand relationships, this paper proposes a framework that considers water development stages to present a series of dynamic relationships between water demand changes and overall economic development. The framework is applied to China to advance the understanding of how demand evolves at different stages of water resources development under specific socioeconomic circumstances, and of strategic choices in general. The case of China explains how water resources management has gradually improved during distinct socioeconomic development stages. It illustrates the varieties and effectiveness of water policies made to adapt to changing demand over the course of socioeconomic development. The framework can be potentially applied to other countries or regions to identify the development stage in order to select proper water management strategies.

“…The advance in information systems and Decision Support to aid in the integrated management of water resources systems is evident. Authors such as Rodrigues (2005), Wang, Fang and Hipel (2007), Collischonn and Lopes (2009), Pessoa, Kayser and Collischonn (2012), Han et al (2013) present methodologies and tools that seek to satisfy the needs of the water management process.…”

This paper presents a Decision Support System (DSS) to assist in the issuing of wastewater discharge and water abstraction rights, including the evaluation of alternative pollution control strategies used to facilitate the analysis and implementation of the instrument. The DSS substantiates its analysis with the use of evolutionary algorithms for the optimization of water demand and wastewater discharge allocation. It intends to maximize the uses and minimize the costs of wastewater treatment measures, according to the limits imposed by the water quality standards. Among the strategies considered for the issuing of permits were the compliance with environmental legislation for wastewater discharge, the equality between water users, the water quality standards set by the water bodies’ classification, and the restrictions imposed by the responsible controlling water agency. The DSS’s results were satisfactory to the strategies analyzed, as they complied with the restrictions and penalties imposed to the objective function. The main objective of the proposed strategies is to evaluate the performance of the DSS in getting the results, as well as to analyze the flexibility of the algorithms when new restrictions and penalties are introduced in the decision making process.
