A real-time market-based framework for basin-wide surface water pricing and allocation considering the available water uncertainty.

Market-based approaches are increasingly considered reallocating instruments that put water consumption at its highest economic value among competing water users. Setting up a water market can have a lot of environmental, social, economic, and legal complexities. One of the main issues is the uncertain nature of the available water, which can cause the failure of markets, especially during drought conditions.

Combining urban metabolism and reinforcement learning concepts for sustainable water resources management: A nexus approach.

Modeling Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus is necessary for integrated water resources management (IWRM), especially in urban areas. This paper presents a new urban water metabolism-based methodology for WEF nexus modeling and management. A behavioral simulation model is used to incorporate the characteristics of stakeholders in an urban area.
