In summary:In summary:Simulation-based optimization can identify
possibilities for considerable
INCREASES OF NET BENEFITS (improvements in several criteria)
• Globally (entire basin)• Sectorally (e.g., irrigated agriculture)• Geographically (administrative units or
hydrographically by sub-basin)
Mechanisms to distribute benefits equitably lead to win-win solutions

A topological model: nodes and reachesA topological model: nodes and reaches
A river basin is represented as a set of nodes and reaches connecting them.
NODES produce, consume, store, and change water quality;
REACHES transport it between nodes
AQUIFERS underlying the network
• Costs to supply water, damages, shortfall
• Benefits from satisfied demand, compliance
