Abstract

Water resources management requires the integration of many complex physical processes, as well as the interaction of many stakeholders, to ensure the sustainable use of surface and groundwater resources. Water problems to which water authorities have to face are water deficit to supply a wide and increasing demand, floods, water pollution, leaks in water distribution infrastructures, and optimization in the energy use and production. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the availability of water resources in terms of quantity and quality, and of water demand in their variability in space and time, is indispensable. In this context, SAID (SmArt water management with Integrated Decision support systems) project addresses the development, implementation, validation and integration of the most innovative DSSs as the basis for smart water management systems in complex basins. This paper focuses on the methodology carried out to integrate multipurpose aspects involved in the management of water resources in Guadalhorce River Basin (southern Spain), as a demonstrator area. As a support in the decision making process to dam managers, the resulting integrated DSS allows to execute predictive simulations to anticipate the watershed response, considering two types of scenarios (flood and ordinary), driven by different optimization criteria.
