2 A Management Model is a Platform for Disciplined Discourse In fact, any model: conceptual, verbal, mathematical, ecological, deterministic or stochastic, simulation or optimization, singleobjective or (always!) multi-objective Discourse: in formulation of the model, examination of intermediate results, evaluation of final results and of re-formulation and re-run A well-structured model enables/enforces a disciplined discourse

3 A Management Model is a Platform for Disciplined Discourse Today: management under uncertainty of the Israeli national water system Uncertainty on the supply and demand sides, leaving out uncertainties in the distribution system, and in economics, finances, management, politics Brief mention of the methodology we use for robust optimization under uncertainties

4 WATER SOURCES Haifa Western Galilee Aquifer Carmel Aquifer Kinneret Watershed Lake Tel Aviv Jerusalem Coastal Aquifer ~100 km N. East Mountain Aquifer East West Gaza Aquifer Negev Aq. Arava Aq. Highly integrated national and regional water systems Average Annual Potential Med-Jordan R.: ~1,700 mcm/yr Israeli system: ~1,200 mcm/yr

5 Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) for the National System 2-year backward moving average of the total precipitation (Amir Givati, Meir Rom & Uri Shamir, IHS, March 2012) 3 Israel, Time Scale: 2 years 2 1 SPI S P I SPI SPI שנים

7 Natural Replenishment (mcm/year) All Sources from Mediterranean Sea to Jordan River (exc. Gaza) Data: The Natural Water Resources Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, IHS /1992-3,839 mcm (Pinatubo?) Av = 1,848 SD = Av = 1,748 SD = 584 Cum. Deficit 1,530 mcm? Cum. Deficit ~1,770 mcm Av = 1,643 SD = 465

17 In October 2013 the Gov t decided to reduce the purchase of desalinated water this year from 585 to 345 mcm We used an aggregate optimization model for determining the optimal reduction plan And are now making it monthly, for preparing next year s plan
