abstract

  • The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) manages the water resources of South Florida for the benefit of the region, balancing the needs of present and future generations. The complexity of the system and the coexistence of competing water needs such as flood control, water supply and water for environmental needs, necessitate the use of appropriate water management decision tools. The SFWMD is using position analysis, a special form of risk analysis, which also has the capability of incorporating climatic forecasts into planning the seasonal operation of the system. The South Florida Water Management Model and its application in position analysis mode to investigate current and proposed operational scenarios are described in this article. © 2001 American Society of Civil Engineers.
