Within watersheds, social, economical, political and physical
subsystems interact. While making decisions, decision makers should
be aware of such interactions as any new policy will not only
affect one subsystem. To see if a specific management policy is
proper, an integrated study is needed of complicated water
management system in the basin, considering major physical, social,
economical and political aspects of it. System Dynamics provides a
unique framework for integrating the disparate physical and social
systems important to water resource management and can be used to
comprehend the interaction of different drivers of the problem.
Here, this approach is used to find, for different scenarios, how
various options of demand management and population control can be
more effective when combined with transbasin water diversions,
increasing water storage capacity and controlling of groundwater
withdrawal in the river basin. A simulation model is built based on
Causal Loop Diagrams of the watershed problem to comprehend the
dynamic and interrelated characteristic of the system, and convey
experiences, lessons learned, and perceptions gained through the
model development process.
