Keywords: Hydrology, Management and Planning, Drought

Problem and Research Objectives:

This project intends at developing a state-of-the-art river basin planning and management system that can (a) assess the potential of the ACF basin to meet various water uses, and (b) quantify the trade-offs associated with various water allocation scenarios and policies. The purpose of this system is to assist the ongoing tri-state (Alabama, Florida, and Georgia) water allocation negotiation. The project is co-sponsored by citizen groups in Georgia.

Problem and Research Objectives:

The objective of this project is to develop a decision support system (DSS) to explore various water resources planning and management scenarios in the Lake Victoria Basin. Participating countries are Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Lake Victoria DSS is intended to provide the lake stakeholders with the understanding necessary to develop shared-vision water resources management strategies to be ratified by political and legal processes and to be implemented within a cooperative management framework.
