WARGI: Water Resources SystemOptimisation Aided By Graphical Interface

An optimization tool for water resources system planning and management, named WARGI, is proposed in the paper. The optimization tool utilizes a graphical interface to allow the user a friendly data-input phase and to visualize output results. It is easy for the user to modify system configuration and related data to perform sensitivity analysis and to process data uncertainty using scenario optimization. WARGI allows to start from the physical system to reach the optimal solution having the possibility to control all the intermediate phases, easily to update system configuration and to consider different optimizers. The graphical interface WARGI prevent obsolescence of optimizer codes exploiting the standard input format MPS. An application of WARGI to a real system is also described.
