Trade-off informed adaptive and robust real options water resources planning
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2021.104117 Planning water resource systems is challenged primarily by two realities. First, uncertainty is inherent in the predictions of future supplies and demands due for example to hydrological variability and climate change. To build societal resilience water planners should seek to enhance the adaptability and robustness of water resource system…
