Data Management Systems for Water Resources Planning.

摘要

Water resources planning at the federal level is comprehensive multi-purpose multi-objective planning. The increasing complexity of issues, planning alternatives, and evaluation criteria have spawned an ever growing need for increased data and associated analysis procedures. The increased number of such models, both demanding and generating large amounts of data, have stimulated awareness of the need for planning oriented data management systems. This paper describes recent activities of the Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center in data management for water resources planning studies.
