Abstract
The optimal water allocation pursues a reliable and economic supply of water resources to meet various interests in socio-economicenvironmental aspects. The global water shortage has intensified due to climate change and population growth with limited water resources. Thus, the water management scheme has shifted to improve water use efficiency by proper demand management and water allocation planning. Here, a hydro-economic water allocation model, called WAMM (Water Allocation and Management Model) is introduced. The WAMM is equipped with an improved linear programming algorithm for optimal water allocation and estimates economic value of water supply as an objective of water allocation decision. The model is expected to be used as an engineering decision support tool for optimal water allocation and management.
