Funded Activity Summary

Multi-Objective Planning and Operation of Water Supply Systems Subject to Climate Change. Water is precious, and increasingly scarce. Many Australians – householders, businesses, farmers, those concerned about sustainability and the environment, among others – have diverse preferences about water allocation. Yet the operating rules that water supply system managers currently use were designed when water was comparatively plentiful. This project will assist system managers to develop contemporary rules for water allocation decision-making. A case study of the Grampians headworks system in Victoria will provide the opportunity to trial methods that account for diverse stakeholder preferences in the context of climate change and climate variability, including drought events.
