Summary:
Build an open-source supply-demand planning tool that chooses the least-cost long-term schedule of supply-demand investments that allow meeting projected demand.
The Supply-demand model suggests:- which supply-demand options to choose
- the extent of their implementation
- their start date
- .
Why we are working on this problem:
- Imagine it's your job to design a 25 to 50 year water supply plan for region X or country Y
- Economists and engineers have helped you estimate the capital, operating, social and environmental costs of the different options
- What new supplies and what demand management (conservation) measures should be put in place?, when? at what capacity? to ensure future supply > demand
- There is no easy tool out there for water planners, particularly in developing countries, to use
-

Hi, Really interesting and
Hi,
Really interesting and promising project. I try to do that myself within my basic household realm with a small network of water butts ! Have started building an Arduino platform to collect info for sharing and do some forecasting.
Your projest is showing the path:
- What info do we need to manage supply-demand at regional level ? (sensors)
- What model works best if we want to do some forecasting ? (sustainability)
But also, it enables some thinking about two other aspects:
- Actuator, how can we translate the decision outcome into effective actions ?
- Social decision making, does the model take all interest groups into account ?
Being skilled in MCDA and MCDS based on outranking method, I may bring some other views unless you have already the expert available.
By the way, have been working in Mongolia where water is becoming a major issue. As they say over there: "He who brings rain, brings luck".
