The main objectives of the study is to develop water availability assessment
tools (mathematical models) and to formulate water resource reconciliation
strategies that will ensure sufficient water up to the year 2040 during the 36
months study period, and include the following main components:
Review of all available information and options for reconciliations. Develop a Water Availability Assessment Model for the quantification of
allocable water including updating of the hydrological data and accounting for
groundwater surface water interaction. Configure and apply the Water Resource Planning Model for the water resource
system of the study area. Assess the historical water requirements and return flows, and compile
projection scenarios. Evaluate both demand management and water resource infrastructure options to
formulate scenarios to achieve a positive water balance until the year 2040. Develop a preliminary reconciliation strategy by April 2013 followed by a final strategy.
