Abstract
This paper focuses on a way of managing a single-reservoir, multipurpose water resource system. Indeed, from a conceptual point of view, the totality of the ideas expressed here can be extended to a multi- reservoir system. The rationale of the restriction is to simplify the theoretical aspects and to match them with the prototype Decision Support System (DSS) for the management of a single reservoir system presented in the paper. Lake Como serves as an example case study.
