Comparison of Water Resource Management Programs: An Algae Action Threshold Level Approach

An Economic Approach to Adaptive Resource Management

Resource management is a fundamental concept in operating system design. In recent years it has become fashionable to consider the problem as an aspect of heterogeneous support for Quality of Service (‘QoS’). The desire for QoS support leads to the dual management goals of global (system) and local (application) optimisation. In this paper we propose an architecture based on an economic model o...

Addressing the wicked problem of water resource management: An ecosystem services approach

This paper develops a systematic assessment of the sustainability of ecosystem services provided by rivers impacted by water storage projects. Given the conflicting preferences amongst stakeholders and the incomplete, uncertain and contradictory understanding about river ecology it is recognized that managing water resources sustainably is a wicked problem. In order to address this wicked probl...

An Action Plan for Improved Natural Resource and Environment Management

The action plan takes very much into account the core messages of the World Bank’s Environment Strategy and reflects thinking articulated in the Green Growth Strategy. The Environment Strategy emphasizes green, clean, and resilient development. To clarify, in this case, Green means efficient, incorporating the value of natural assets; Clean means reduced pollution, healthy and low GHG emitting,...

Linear Dynamic Programs for Resource Management

Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solve such large MDPs, we identify and leverage linearity in state and action sets that is common in resource management. In particular, we introduce linear dynamic programs (LDPs) that generalize resource management probl...
