Abstract

This paper presents a real-time decision support system (DSS) which is a comprehensive computerized information system for water resource management in the wake of climate change. With the integration of geographical information system (GIS), remote sensing and hydrological modeling, a comprehensive and efficient tool which can improve the quality of decisions taken in river water management is presented and demonstrated. The basic concepts and data processing adopted in developing the DSS are outlined, and the hydrological model working is described. It is demonstrated that the DSS developed provides an efficient and effective tool for decision-making purposes in river water systems management and dealing with hydrological dynamics in the event of climate change.
