摘要

This paper addresses the development of an interactive decision support system (DSS) intended to enhance the integration of environmental concerns with other key selection parameters such as cost and yield in the early comparison and screening of water supply alternatives. It discusses the use of the DSS in a comprehensive water supply study of long-term water quantity and quality for a 3,550-square-mile basin in Northeast Texas. Six primary water supply alternatives, with firm water supply yields ranging from 100,000 to 700,000 acre-feet per year (ac-ft/yr), are being evaluated and compared in light of the inherent tradeoffs between water availability, cost, and environmental footprint. The objective is to facilitate a holistic planning process and a balanced decision-making process that considers the "triple bottom line" (social impacts, cost, and environment) in a river basin where potential water supply development is a source of controversy. The DSS allows evaluation of a wide variety of combinations of alternatives and scales concurrently, providing a much higher degree of flexibility and fine-tuning of options than is typically available to project teams during early screening efforts. This supports a more robust integration of environmental and sustainability parameters into project formulation and selection than is typical for large-scale planning efforts. This paper will provide a detailed case study of the development and use of the DSS for the Sulphur River Basin Feasibility Study and will illustrate the enhanced planning decisions resulting from its application.
