Abstract
Properties of different water resources components such as reservoirs, hydropower, irrigation and non-irrigation demand, environmental flow requirements, channel (natural and diversion) properties, inflow to the system, national and international water sharing agreements, and system operating policy. Data was collected/prepared based on the existing water management model (WRMM) in Alberta Saskatchewan, using the water management model MODSIM. Other major sources of data involve:
