Features: This book elaborates on the theory, methods, and techniques of water resources planning, divided into 8 chapters. The first three chapters primarily discuss the fundamental knowledge of modern water resources planning, including the concept of water resources and sustainable utilization, the basic ideas and methods of modern water resources planning, and the fundamentals of water resources system analysis. Chapters 4 to 8 cover the thematic sections, including joint operation and dynamic simulation analysis of surface and groundwater, multi-objective analysis of macro-economy and water resources systems, regional water resources carrying capacity analysis, the application of decision support systems in water resources planning, and mathematical river basins and water resources planning. The book strives to be easy to understand and practical, with examples integrated into each chapter as much as possible, without emphasizing rigorous mathematical derivations and arguments. This book can serve as a textbook for universities and colleges in the fields of water resources, environment, and related disciplines, as well as a reference for researchers and staff of relevant national management agencies in related fields.
