This book presents the basics of linear and nonlinear optimization
analysis for both single and multi-objective problems in hydrosystem
engineering. The book includes several examples with various levels of
complexity in different fields of water resources engineering. The
examples are solved step by step to assist the reader and to make it
easier to understand the concepts. In addition, the latest tools and
methods are presented to help students, researchers, engineers and water
managers to properly conceptualize and formulate resource allocation
problems, and to deal with the complexity of constraints in water demand
and available supplies in an appropriate way.
