In many cases now the problem is not lack of data/information, but the selection and process of data to generate meaningful and timely information that can support better management of water resources. In this line, this module introduces the water resource planning and management process, the trend and the role if information technology, and contributes to development and operationalization of a framework for planning and decision-making to support better management of water resources. This is carried out to provide information for decision makers to make an effective and efficient choice so that the selected option is attainable (can be realized, and is practical), desirable (acceptable to all stakeholders), and fulfils the minimum requirements. Therefore, this module will address, decision making process, plan formulation process, modelling integrated water resource management, impact assessment and valuation of various management options, plans, scenarios, interventions through multiple criteria evaluation which leads to selection, recommendation of specific action, in the context of land and water resource management. Contents Introduction to decision making process. Introduction to decision and planning support systems. Modelling the demand and supply for water resource management. Development of integrated water resource management model. Scenario development and analysis. Introduction to multiple criteria evaluation techniques. Application of the above in case studies related to environmental and water resource management (participants can select the case according to their background and interests)

Introduction

Agricultural system are overwhelmingly a complex process of air, water, soil, plants, animals, micro-organism and everything else in a bounded area that people have modified for the purposes of agricultural production. Some of the most important decision in agricultural production, such as what crops to grow and on how much land to allocate depends on the existing knowledge base of current and future physical conditions like soil and climate, yields and prices. Modeling of the various processes in the system helps us to understand its flow and intricacies. An important issue in agricultural environmental modeling is that all the basic units (water, soil and chemicals) have a spatial distribution, and since this distribution does affect the processes and dynamics of their interaction considerably, geographic information system (GIS) is emerging as an important tool in modeling.
