Water Resource Optimization, a Path Toward Sustainable Development

Sustainable Resource Use & Sustainable Development: a Contradiction?!

The concept of ‘sustainability’ has become the current answer to absolving the world of its environmental and economic crises in the 21 century. Since its conceptualisation, there has been a barrage of investigations and literature on the vagueness and ambiguity of its definition and applicability. There are two main opposing schools of thought the pessimists, usually ecologists and other scien...

Optimization and sustainable development

In this opinion paper, I argue that “optimization and sustainable development” indicates a set of specific engineering techniques rather than a unified discipline stemming from a unique scientific principle. On the other hand, I also propose a mathematical principle underlying at least some of the concepts defining sustainability when optimizing a supply chain. The principle is based on the fac...

Sustainable water resource management under hydrological uncertainty

[1] A proper understanding of the sources and effects of uncertainty is needed to achieve the goals of reliability and sustainability in water resource management and planning. Many studies have focused on uncertainties relating to climate inputs (e.g., precipitation and temperature), as well as those related to supply and demand relationships. In the end-to-end projection of the hydrological i...
