AB: Water management problems are always changing, both in the quantity and quality conditions of the water resources and in the management objectives sought by the society. Climatic changes, continued population growth, structural changes in the economy, continued emphasis on improving ecosystems, and changing demographics all pose major challenges for management and the analysis of water management alternatives and institutions. This talk will examine some of these challenges and present some promising deterministic and stochastic techniques and approaches employed to various water management problems in California for the management of estuaries, floods, droughts, and conflicts. Lessons learned from bringing these results to policy discussions will also be suggested.
