Water Resources System

This book titled Water Resources System has been written specially to cater to the needs of the courses offered to undergraduate students of civil engineering. The main objective of the book is to put forward an engineering text book that is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm as the contents are self-instructive. The book shall also be found helpful by the undergraduate and post graduate students pertaining to other universities and colleges. This book covers systems approach and analysis and its application in the field of water resources planning and management. Application of Linear and Dynamic programming as well as economic analysis, conditions of optimality and benefit-cost analysis for irrigation water allocation for single and multiple crops, Multi-reservoir system for irrigation Planning, Reservoir operation for Irrigation and Hydro power Optimization, Optimal crop water allocation, Steady State, Reservoir Operation policy for Irrigation are the main features of this book. The book has been divided into five chapters on the lines of the syllabi of the course ECE-053 of GBTU with each chapter supported by practical examples, case studies and review questions for the readers to get good understanding and grasp of the subject. System and System Analysis, System Techniques in Water Resources, Economic Considerations in Water Resources Systems, Multi-Objective Planning, Application of Linear & Dynamic Programming
