First Steps Towards an Integrated Decision Support System for Water Management

The ultimate objective of the Glowa-Volta Project (GVP) is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) for the management of Volta Basin water resources that is scientifically sound and relevant to the needs and interests of diverse water sector stakeholders. An integrated economic-hydrologic model has been developed at catchment and basin scale, and preliminary output demonstrates the value of integrated analysis in evaluating water-energy sector interactions. This paper presents our first efforts to link GAMS and WaSiM models and the first prototype of the
