The following contents will be covered in the module:
• Introduction to knowledge base for water allocation (drivers, roles, definition, objectives, key processes, approaches, limitations) in a transboundary context
• Presenting and discussing on multiple case studies by groups
• Introduction to water availability and variability and their calculation methods
• Introduction to water use and demand and their calculation methods
• Introduction to reservoir management with financial analysis
• Introduction to water quality and ecosystem degradation
• Introduction to water allocation implementation by determining priority
• Introduction to creating scenarios including climate change & social-economic development

Integrated exercises:
• Model graphic user interface (GUI) introduction to WEAP
• Modelling case of one-hour WEAP Tutorial
• Modelling case of refining water availability under climate change scenarios
• Modelling case of refining water demand under social-economic growth scenarios
• Modelling case of reservoirs and power production with financial analysis
• Modelling case of water quality and ecosystem degradation

• 0000001870 Integrated Water Resources Management

The module consists of lectures with integrated exercises.
The knowledge base of water allocation in a transboundary context (drivers, roles, definition, objectives, key processes, approaches, limitations) is introduced by presentations. Multiple real-world cases of water allocation are presented and discussed in groups. Model graphic user interface (GUI) of the water allocation software (Water Evaluation and Planning System, WEAP) is presented by demonstrating their functions with a brief tutorial for a case study. The fundamental knowledge and modelling approaches for water supply, water demand, reservoir management, and water quality are presented and practiced with 4 integrated exercises. Model result visualisation and formatting are demonstrated. Global change scenarios will be introduced and demonstrated based on the exercises. Different water allocation plans are proposed, discussed, and presented by the students.
