Introduction to the theory and application of water resources planning and management as a constrained optimization problem with multiple conflicting objectives. Water laws including international, inter-provincial and local regulations will be discussed. The process for planning a water resource project, including identifying the problems and opportunities, resource and demand forecasting, plan formulation and evaluation, and optimization will be discussed [4 credits]
